1
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,359
Speaker 1: What is going on? Clippers fans, Welcome to the most

2
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,679
important speech you will watch today, April first, twenty twenty six.

3
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,280
I am Chuck Mockler. Will and Adam are unavoidably detained.

4
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,079
I do know where they are, but I will not

5
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,719
be telling you. So we're just doing a quick live

6
00:00:28,839 --> 00:00:32,799
episode today. It is just me, possibly Joseph I Award

7
00:00:32,799 --> 00:00:36,280
hopping on, but we are Clips and Dip. Thank you

8
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,240
for hanging out. If you're listening to the audio version

9
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,399
of this after I've put it out and you missed

10
00:00:40,439 --> 00:00:42,960
the video, you can always find us at YouTube dot

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,920
com slash at Clippers podcasts. And I am doing this

12
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:53,240
pod today mostly just because yesterday was so frustrating. I

13
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:58,280
do want to open this by saying that going twelve

14
00:00:58,359 --> 00:01:01,840
and six over March was incredible. I had them going

15
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,120
ten and eight. There were some highs, obviously with the

16
00:01:05,159 --> 00:01:07,799
Knicks and the Wolves wins. There were some streaks in there.

17
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,680
The Pels back to back sucked, But again, twelve and

18
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:19,359
six over March is fantastic. What's up? Punk's gone wrong? Yes?

19
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,040
I don't know if that game was heartbreaking so much

20
00:01:22,079 --> 00:01:26,239
it was frustrating, because that's how I felt watching the game.

21
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,319
Will and I were watching the game. It was incredibly

22
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,319
just not fun. I was trying to pick out my

23
00:01:32,439 --> 00:01:35,959
least favorite part of last night and someone in the

24
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:41,400
chat is already asking about the offensive rebounds. Yes, dj

25
00:01:41,519 --> 00:01:43,599
D Flow, I think we might be the worst defensive

26
00:01:43,599 --> 00:01:49,760
rebounding team. They had literally the worst. They gave up

27
00:01:49,799 --> 00:01:54,640
the second most second chance points the Clippers have given

28
00:01:54,719 --> 00:01:57,480
up in the play by play era. They gave up

29
00:01:57,519 --> 00:02:04,159
thirty two second chance points, which is insane. It's crazy.

30
00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:06,120
We talked about it on the preview about how Portland

31
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,960
is a really good offensive rebounding team. I'm going to

32
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,400
talk about the Spurs and a few We were also

33
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,039
a good offensive rebounding team. But that's incredibly frustrating. It

34
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,560
was rage bait. Losing out on that many rebounds is

35
00:02:19,719 --> 00:02:24,520
rage bait exactly. Not having Isaiah Jackson is a killer.

36
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:28,759
He's out again for the Spurs game, which is unfortunate.

37
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:34,520
The rebounding was very frustrating. Kawhi's risk situation is very frustrating.

38
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,919
Heard it and a fall against the Raptors. He's fighting

39
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,759
through it. His risk got hit a few times and

40
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,639
I'm I don't no part of me believes that the

41
00:02:46,719 --> 00:02:49,560
Blazers were trying to injure Kawi on purpose at all.

42
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,960
It's just the nature of the game which sucks. Oh,

43
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,639
Alex Webb nice Alex got to meet at him yesterday.

44
00:02:57,719 --> 00:03:00,000
Hell yeah, that makes sense. It was the highlight strictly

45
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:05,560
because the game was so bad. Alan's saying, if this

46
00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:08,520
is how they perform in big moments, it's an I mean,

47
00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:11,479
part of it was being exhausted, right, it was eighteen

48
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:16,280
teams or it was eighteen games. Zorro saying we were

49
00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:20,000
two steps behind. Went on defense, Yes, and now we

50
00:03:20,039 --> 00:03:24,719
are welcoming to the show. Joseph Fry Award. Joseph, first

51
00:03:24,759 --> 00:03:26,240
of all, thank you for hopping on. It's gonna be

52
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,240
a quick worse. And I am being a little negative

53
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,199
because I'm gonna put it in the chat. Last night

54
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,280
was rage bait. The whole missing out on defensive rebounds

55
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,080
is rage bait. Kawhi being having the rist his rage bait.

56
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:44,479
One bench guy showing up offensively is frustrating. Drew Holiday

57
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,599
Adam wanted me to remind you that you may have

58
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,759
mentioned something about Drew Holliday being washed.

59
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,319
Speaker 2: I didn't say that that was you. I agreed with

60
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,520
you there.

61
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, Drew was absolutely on fire. There was a stat

62
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,240
from Law where he said, in a game decided by

63
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,199
ten points, Denny and Drew Holliday outscored Kawhi and Darius

64
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,719
Leonard fifty eight forty three.

65
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: It was an embarrassment. Like I've been kind of stewing

66
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,120
on it all day.

67
00:04:13,039 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: Dude, that's exactly the word. Like no one at work

68
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,879
watches anything. So I was just like sitting there losing

69
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,920
my mind on this outline by myself.

70
00:04:22,199 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 2: It's not just mad, just remembering all of the shitty

71
00:04:24,879 --> 00:04:28,639
things that happened. M No, that's not what happened. Bone

72
00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:31,600
saw twenty eight. Don't don't start with the fake news. Okay,

73
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,959
that's not nice. That's not nice. Shock, what what you

74
00:04:35,959 --> 00:04:38,879
did to me? No? I you know, I'm trying to

75
00:04:38,879 --> 00:04:41,120
be rational about it and like not throw the baby

76
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,800
out with the bathwater. Right the eighteenth game in March. Whatever,

77
00:04:45,079 --> 00:04:48,360
they're tired, maybe I don't care. But the whole time

78
00:04:48,399 --> 00:04:50,560
I was walking it, I think I pinpointed why I

79
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:54,319
was so mad. It reminded me of the two to one.

80
00:04:53,439 --> 00:04:57,519
Speaker 1: Three Clippers not showing up in an important game.

81
00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 2: Just like like loafing and and not doing all of it.

82
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,879
There was no school, there was no effort.

83
00:05:06,079 --> 00:05:09,759
Speaker 1: It was it's a younger team that they're playing. Yes,

84
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,160
that was on very clearly on display, I think in

85
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:18,920
terms of the like snappiness of the effort, and it was.

86
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 2: Like from the jump, the Blazers very clearly. My daughter's

87
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:23,600
trying to get in on the pod, she's got some

88
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:28,879
thoughts too, but I think it was very very clear

89
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:34,040
that the Blazers wanted to win the game, and yeah,

90
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,720
see that's how I felt. And then it was very

91
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,800
very clear that the Clippers just were like, Okay, I

92
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,000
guess they really want to win this one. And there

93
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,480
wasn't ever a match of the energy other than when

94
00:05:46,519 --> 00:05:49,639
Brook Lopez went to the floor that one time, Like

95
00:05:49,639 --> 00:05:52,480
there was a very brief moment where there was some energy,

96
00:05:52,519 --> 00:05:55,240
but then after that it just totally disappeared.

97
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:00,639
Speaker 1: The rotations were super weird, Brooke taking the third most

98
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:08,800
field goals. Still, yeah, there's a lot. This is the

99
00:06:08,879 --> 00:06:14,759
dichotomy of Clippers podcasting right here, Tyler. You took because

100
00:06:14,759 --> 00:06:19,040
the small ball lineup was rough. Yes, it was an

101
00:06:19,079 --> 00:06:26,399
eight man rotation, which I was surprised by. Yeah, I

102
00:06:26,519 --> 00:06:30,240
was surprised that the team played four meaningful minutes, but

103
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,319
he acknowledged. He was like, we're not very good at it.

104
00:06:33,399 --> 00:06:36,399
We haven't done it all season long. Hey, accurate.

105
00:06:36,959 --> 00:06:41,959
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, it's true. But to me, like the lineups, whatever,

106
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,920
it just kind of came down to they didn't try

107
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:51,160
hard enough. Like there just wasn't enough effort collectively. My

108
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,519
daughter is yelling at me, but there just wasn't enough

109
00:06:54,759 --> 00:06:58,920
effort collectively. And you can kind of chalk some of

110
00:06:58,959 --> 00:07:00,920
it up to like hot shoot. I mean some of

111
00:07:00,959 --> 00:07:02,920
the shots that the Blazers were hitting was like, well

112
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:04,319
about that.

113
00:07:04,879 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: But they still only shot from free Like it's not

114
00:07:08,879 --> 00:07:11,399
like they like lit us up.

115
00:07:11,959 --> 00:07:16,279
Speaker 2: Yeah. And I think another piece of it is too,

116
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:16,959
like there.

117
00:07:16,839 --> 00:07:20,959
Speaker 3: Were a lot of really weird bounces, like a ball

118
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,120
would hit a guy's hand and then would bounce off

119
00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:27,480
five other guys, and it just I think all of

120
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,920
that is to say, that's not an excuse and it's

121
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,720
not like, oh, we can just chop it up to variants.

122
00:07:32,199 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 2: It felt like the Clippers allowed themselves to get defeated

123
00:07:34,639 --> 00:07:35,279
by those things.

124
00:07:35,519 --> 00:07:35,759
Speaker 1: Dude.

125
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 2: By the end of the game, they were complaining to

126
00:07:37,519 --> 00:07:40,199
the refs, they were slumping their shoulders and they just.

127
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,079
Speaker 1: Got the tack. I was like, all right, like you're

128
00:07:43,079 --> 00:07:45,680
getting the tech off the bench like this, that's that's

129
00:07:45,879 --> 00:07:49,040
that's showing that you're frustrated. I'm not like, yeah, man,

130
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,800
some of those some of those turnovers in transition was

131
00:07:52,839 --> 00:07:55,120
like stuff that we haven't seen in a long time,

132
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,879
like one like this was.

133
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:00,439
Speaker 2: Up.

134
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: This is how much I stewed about it. Other than

135
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,680
his first game as a Clipper, this is the only

136
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,519
other time Darius Garlan has had a negative assist to

137
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,839
turnover Roustio. Yeah, and like bad luck. That's just crazy.

138
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 2: Yeah it again. They could win the rest of their

139
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:22,120
game somehow, and like we wipe this away right, nobody remembers.

140
00:08:22,279 --> 00:08:24,680
And so I'm hoping that they end on a good

141
00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:29,240
run and we don't fall back. But to see them

142
00:08:29,319 --> 00:08:33,039
not show up in a game that was big just

143
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,720
frustrates me. After all of the like, okay, we turned

144
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,600
it around from six to twenty one, we're gonna be

145
00:08:37,639 --> 00:08:40,039
over five hundred. Maybe this team has a puncher's chance.

146
00:08:40,399 --> 00:08:42,639
And last night it was really hard not to think like, oh,

147
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:43,960
this team just isn't very good.

148
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,639
Speaker 1: Well, they just look they looked tired, That was my

149
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,559
biggest thing because it was like, again, we're we're in

150
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,679
another scenario where it's two weeks before the playoffs, but

151
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,159
the Clippers have to play playoff level basketball. Yeah, and

152
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,519
we got to play him again. We're a half game up. Yeah,

153
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,120
if they win on the tenth, the second to last

154
00:09:05,159 --> 00:09:09,600
game will be tied up rex season wise, and then

155
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,200
it goes to division record where the Clippers are eight

156
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,759
and six and the Blazers are seven and eight as

157
00:09:14,799 --> 00:09:19,120
of right now, what is play that we get to

158
00:09:19,159 --> 00:09:23,399
play the Kings, So like we're probably getting to ten

159
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,879
and six for division. I think we're fine.

160
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 2: What most frustrates me is like this was, as we

161
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,679
talked about the last time I was on, like this

162
00:09:35,799 --> 00:09:38,919
was the Handle of your Business game. Yeah, right, come

163
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,159
in handle your business at home, and now you don't

164
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,519
have to work, like you can kind of get maybe

165
00:09:43,799 --> 00:09:45,879
get a little rest, maybe you can try to like.

166
00:09:45,879 --> 00:09:48,039
Speaker 1: You don't have to worry as much about maybe being

167
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,000
in the extra planet game. Right, Just huge, Yeah, and this.

168
00:09:51,919 --> 00:09:56,279
Speaker 2: Team can't afford if they even want to make it

169
00:09:56,399 --> 00:09:58,879
a series, not even like oh they're gonna win against

170
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,440
either of the top two, but like if they even

171
00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:03,240
want to make it a series.

172
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: Put in some good reps.

173
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, also the double and Denny King. I don't

174
00:10:09,519 --> 00:10:12,320
know if I trust this team in rotation behind a double,

175
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,559
and it's been the plague of a Tylo team for

176
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,799
the last what five years, So yeah, I don't know.

177
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,679
This is just I would really it struck a nerve

178
00:10:22,799 --> 00:10:25,480
with me because it just feels.

179
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 4: Like, again, we have this Laisy Fair attitude when we

180
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,120
don't we don't have.

181
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:42,799
Speaker 2: Anything to back up, like warranting that like Ylou hasn't

182
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,799
won a playoff series since twenty twenty one.

183
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: Sure, there's been some extenuating factors there.

184
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,159
Speaker 2: But also, oh, we just got to get healthy. Well

185
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,720
we got healthy, and you were in Beverly Hills saying

186
00:10:55,759 --> 00:10:58,000
everything's fine, and.

187
00:10:57,919 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: We wait Beverly Hill.

188
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 2: I'm saying, like we I think I'm just tradered. It's

189
00:11:07,399 --> 00:11:08,399
really what I'm trying to say.

190
00:11:08,519 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: It was a frustrating game.

191
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 2: I didn't that's it.

192
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: No, because it's hard to not go incredibly negative when

193
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,240
you do see all of the things that are frustrating

194
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,519
about this team happened over a forty eight minutes.

195
00:11:23,279 --> 00:11:27,799
Speaker 2: It's a trauma response for what we've watched the rebounding

196
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:28,200
the team.

197
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, the rebounding issues, the weird turn they only had

198
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,639
fourteen turnovers. They tied in turnovers, but it felt like

199
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:35,080
it was.

200
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:36,799
Speaker 2: It'selt like they had five hundred.

201
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:42,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, Math didn't show up. Math was rough last night. Yeah,

202
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,000
he couldn't get to the line. And if he doesn't

203
00:11:47,039 --> 00:11:49,399
have it shooting, he kind of gets the tunnel vision

204
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,080
and if he's not getting the line, that's how you

205
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:57,039
only get twenty two minutes in math. Like, I was

206
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,879
surprised that the rotation was so short. I thought Batom

207
00:12:00,919 --> 00:12:05,679
would have gotten more time, like yeah, or Kobe.

208
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's where I'm at at this point. Like,

209
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,240
if you're not gonna play Buttomb for whatever reason, right

210
00:12:14,519 --> 00:12:17,960
right right, try Kobe saying we don't have enough shooting,

211
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,200
and you correct.

212
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,519
Speaker 1: And if you're bad at small ball five because you

213
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:29,080
haven't played it all year, try it. We'll probably see

214
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,320
it tomorrow. A little more time with Batoomb as that

215
00:12:32,399 --> 00:12:36,879
small ball five a guy who's very level at playing it,

216
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,960
and that is good for this team. You're not a

217
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,600
guy you're not having Like Collins is good too, but

218
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,840
like he's kind of been in between. He shot great

219
00:12:45,879 --> 00:12:50,639
obviously we needed he played well last night, but it

220
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,720
was just like the bench not showing up killed me. Man,

221
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,159
Like other than Jordan Miller, no one else two buckets.

222
00:12:59,159 --> 00:13:03,039
Speaker 2: Everything felt like it was here last night. Yea, everything

223
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,639
felt like it was here, Like it wasn't necessarily like

224
00:13:05,639 --> 00:13:08,519
a fatigue thing or whatever. Sometimes you know, physical fatigue

225
00:13:08,519 --> 00:13:11,639
at least some mental fatigue. But everything felt like they

226
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,399
lost up here. I don't think they expected the Blazers

227
00:13:15,399 --> 00:13:18,120
to punch them in the mouth, which I think they

228
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,080
expected to come out, and just like.

229
00:13:20,039 --> 00:13:24,919
Speaker 1: Because they were, they were down guys. That's the other frustrating. Yeah,

230
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:31,399
Jeremy Grant didn't play like Shuddon Sharp was out. He's

231
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,960
been out. But it's just like and man missing Isaiah Jackson.

232
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,399
Speaker 2: It's rough, it's rough.

233
00:13:38,279 --> 00:13:44,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again he's out. Yeah, I don't know that.

234
00:13:44,279 --> 00:13:46,519
It was just a very frustrating and I set it

235
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,120
off top before you got on. I was like, twelve

236
00:13:49,159 --> 00:13:52,159
and six over March is great. That was incredible, Like,

237
00:13:52,279 --> 00:13:55,919
hats off to them. I had them at ten and eight. Yeah,

238
00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:00,200
but like, hey, some horrible things happened, some good things happen,

239
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,000
and we got through the month. But we don't get

240
00:14:03,039 --> 00:14:07,399
a break, right, We're going straight. We're going straight into

241
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:15,720
playing the Spurs, who thankfully are playing tonight, so we

242
00:14:15,919 --> 00:14:19,919
do get them. Hopefully they beat the Warriors and they

243
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,759
have to work so hard at that that they're time

244
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,360
that they're so sleepy. Forget that they beat us on

245
00:14:27,399 --> 00:14:29,440
the second night of a back to back, already, get

246
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,120
that out of your brain. As of this recording, they've

247
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,000
won nine in a row. They beat us twice last month,

248
00:14:36,159 --> 00:14:38,320
and they've only lost two times since the All Star break.

249
00:14:38,759 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 2: So cool. I mean, they're gonna get to ten and

250
00:14:41,519 --> 00:14:42,440
then that.

251
00:14:44,279 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: This is the first time we've had our main guys

252
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,039
healthy for a Spurs game, first time Garland Kawhi get

253
00:14:50,039 --> 00:14:52,279
to go up against the Spurs, and.

254
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 2: Like you would hope, I really, I really do feel

255
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,440
like you would hope they're going to show up tomorrow.

256
00:14:59,159 --> 00:15:03,080
Sure would hope that yesterday.

257
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:10,279
Speaker 1: I think they're frustrated. Man. I thought of this is sorry,

258
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,480
this is such a hard pivot, but I almost wanted

259
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:19,000
to name this stream Trump e rob speech, just to

260
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,799
see what how many like what seo wise that would

261
00:15:22,799 --> 00:15:24,279
do for the numbers. But then I thought we might

262
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:29,360
just get the channel nuked. So I didn't. Sorry hard pivot,

263
00:15:29,399 --> 00:15:33,080
but it's okay. It was. It was cracking me up

264
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:38,120
earlier thinking about that. But again, the rotation without Isaiah Jackson,

265
00:15:38,159 --> 00:15:40,679
who is going to be reevaluated over the next few days.

266
00:15:41,159 --> 00:15:44,559
We don't really know when he's coming back. I have

267
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,519
to assume Batoum and Kobe play.

268
00:15:46,279 --> 00:15:50,679
Speaker 2: More tomorrow, we would hope.

269
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: So, I mean, I think the Clippers will more likely

270
00:15:59,759 --> 00:16:02,559
than not lose tomorrow.

271
00:16:03,279 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want them.

272
00:16:05,879 --> 00:16:08,279
Speaker 1: They're playing again, They're playing against the best team in

273
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,759
basketball right now. It's not an on the Clippers. They're

274
00:16:10,799 --> 00:16:14,399
running into a team that they might see in the

275
00:16:14,399 --> 00:16:18,039
playoffs depending how one and two go. But like they're

276
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,240
they're playing a buzz saw right now.

277
00:16:20,679 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

278
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:27,399
Speaker 1: But I just just good reps. Have some good reps

279
00:16:27,399 --> 00:16:31,200
out there. Yeah, start professionally.

280
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we're at the point where Tie is like, oh,

281
00:16:35,159 --> 00:16:37,639
I gotta get ready for the play in playoffs, and

282
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,240
so we will see rotations shortened in terms of like, oh,

283
00:16:41,279 --> 00:16:42,919
these are the guys I'm going to play.

284
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,799
Speaker 1: I need to see what I have and Kobe are

285
00:16:45,799 --> 00:16:52,000
out again because Batom before it became we're done with this,

286
00:16:52,519 --> 00:16:54,879
We're waving the white flag. But you played four minutes

287
00:16:55,159 --> 00:16:59,559
like it was early that I'm getting the nod.

288
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 2: I don't think Tye trusts Nigo the way that he

289
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,000
did anymore.

290
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's a fair thing to think.

291
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,519
Speaker 2: Which is also somewhat moarrented. Right, he's pretty old at

292
00:17:14,519 --> 00:17:17,519
this point, Like it's not nigl Ba to him of

293
00:17:17,559 --> 00:17:18,200
five years ago.

294
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: Right, we're trying to get on the stream too, say

295
00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:21,319
what's up.

296
00:17:22,279 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, all of our babies are just trying to

297
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:32,160
get on the stream. But I do think that kind

298
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,720
of hinders, which also I think frustrates us, right, Like

299
00:17:35,759 --> 00:17:37,839
we want to see the to him because we trust him.

300
00:17:38,279 --> 00:17:41,519
But I do think that there is some merit to Yeah,

301
00:17:41,559 --> 00:17:44,160
I don't think I can write him as hard anymore.

302
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: Right, he's a vet. He needs he's to take games

303
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,880
off for rest. I get that someone brought up you

304
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,160
talked about how we don't have shooters, and someone brought

305
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,400
up Jordan Miller can't not being able to shoot it

306
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,799
through to save his life. Funnily enough, he did shoot

307
00:17:55,799 --> 00:17:59,680
two for three yeah last night, but he doesn't take

308
00:17:59,799 --> 00:18:02,400
three ease is the issue, and I think that is

309
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,519
going to be more apparent in the playoffs. When teams

310
00:18:06,799 --> 00:18:09,759
don't respect him as much. Mone Like, that's what's tough

311
00:18:09,759 --> 00:18:13,799
about Miller, His inside the his offensive game, inside the

312
00:18:13,799 --> 00:18:16,839
three point line. I love it. Yeah, it has to

313
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,400
be so annoying to play against.

314
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he travels on every possession and it

315
00:18:20,759 --> 00:18:21,839
doesn't get all So.

316
00:18:21,799 --> 00:18:27,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's great, we love but behind the arc, that's

317
00:18:27,039 --> 00:18:30,119
where the issue is. Like, but I don't know, we

318
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,119
have they got to play the biggest thing I'm looking

319
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:37,079
for is Kobe in between playing more and Garland asserting

320
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:42,119
himself more, make everyone else play around you. If you're

321
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:43,400
Darius Garland.

322
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,079
Speaker 5: I'm I'm curious how we approach tomorrow because I do

323
00:18:48,279 --> 00:18:52,240
think if we if we see the Spurs, really our

324
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,119
only pathway to even getting a couple of games is

325
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,400
if we spam the three point line.

326
00:19:00,079 --> 00:19:01,039
Speaker 2: That's my feelings.

327
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:06,799
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, so I was looking at some offensive rebounding

328
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:11,359
numbers for the Spurs. Yeah, over the last ten games.

329
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:17,759
What do you think? So out of the five pillars

330
00:19:17,759 --> 00:19:21,279
of rebounding stats for this show, which is offensive rebounds

331
00:19:21,279 --> 00:19:25,480
per game, offensive rebound percentage, defensive rebounds per game, and

332
00:19:25,559 --> 00:19:29,400
defensive rebound percentage and then just rebound percentage, what do

333
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,559
you think the lowest rank over the last ten games

334
00:19:32,599 --> 00:19:36,319
is for the Spurs in one of those categories? What

335
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,640
do you think they're the what number do you think

336
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:39,119
they're at?

337
00:19:39,759 --> 00:19:43,079
Speaker 2: Do you want me to play this game appropriately or inappropriately?

338
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,759
Because I want to know what answer you?

339
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:45,599
Speaker 1: Whoever? You want?

340
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:46,799
Speaker 2: Seven?

341
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 1: Nope, their worst ranking is fifth in offensive rebound percentage.

342
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 2: That's crazy.

343
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:59,279
Speaker 1: Yes, they're first in defensive rebound percentage, rebound percentage, defensive

344
00:19:59,279 --> 00:20:02,640
rebounds per game third, and offensive rebounds per game fifth

345
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,839
and offensive rebound percentage over the last ten games. This

346
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,759
what's difficult is we are cut. We are possibly in

347
00:20:10,839 --> 00:20:16,359
store for a more supercharged version of what we saw

348
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,160
last night right on the glass. I'm not saying they're

349
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,079
gonna score thirty two second chance points. I'm just saying

350
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,079
the onslaught in the activity of the Spurs is even

351
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,519
more so than the Blazers, which is a little worrisome.

352
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 6: Right yeah, I mean it's not having a positive rebounding

353
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,480
big In Brook Lopez is a problem.

354
00:20:41,039 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 2: Not that he's a bad presence on the boards.

355
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: Everybody walks about how good of a boxer outer he is,

356
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:54,279
which he is, but that box that means our forward's

357
00:20:54,279 --> 00:20:57,640
gotta work that much more. Like that means Kawhi has

358
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:58,720
to do that much more.

359
00:20:59,319 --> 00:21:02,559
Speaker 2: I will say I had been super impressed with Derek

360
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:08,799
Jones Junior and his increased rebounding effort. Man, but last

361
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,640
night was not a good night for our boy.

362
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 1: No, it was not a good night, don't I talked

363
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,000
about a little bit. But like the shot distribution needs

364
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,680
to be better against the Spurs. Yeah, I'm obviously Kawhi

365
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,279
and Garland one and two right there. Number three should

366
00:21:24,319 --> 00:21:31,200
like probably be like Ben matherin Don Collins, anybody other

367
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,359
than brook Brook Lopus should not take the third most

368
00:21:33,839 --> 00:21:37,799
field goal attempts. Yeah, in the game, I'm not saying

369
00:21:37,799 --> 00:21:40,680
don't take any, but if he is, he was like

370
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,839
tied with Garland, I think or Kawhi with attempts last night.

371
00:21:44,839 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 2: To me, last night that spoke more to the struggles

372
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,759
that Garland and Kawhi had. I think just getting anything

373
00:21:50,799 --> 00:21:55,319
going than it did any functional issue with the offense.

374
00:21:55,400 --> 00:22:01,559
But I do think last night it was just it

375
00:22:01,599 --> 00:22:03,880
feels like an alarm bell and I don't want it

376
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,640
to be. I want it to be a blip and

377
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,799
not like a harbinger of what's.

378
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:14,519
Speaker 1: To come yeah, I'm yeah. I'm hoping it's a blip too.

379
00:22:14,799 --> 00:22:18,359
It's it sucks that they have to play the Spurs

380
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,880
right after that particular loss, correct, because that is going

381
00:22:23,039 --> 00:22:26,359
to be dom dot normal saying Brooks should be like

382
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,359
fifth or six in attempts. Absolutely if that, and at

383
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,960
that point you're like you're taking ten a game or something,

384
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,039
you know what I mean, Like yeah, great, like, but

385
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,160
this is the rotation crunch issue, right, It's the issue

386
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:43,960
with having apparently eight guys right, how that rotation went

387
00:22:44,039 --> 00:22:47,960
last night that can play. I just hope we don't

388
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,000
get murdered on the glass. Garland will be better in

389
00:22:51,079 --> 00:22:55,359
terms of assist to turnover ratio. I hope Kawai is okay,

390
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,119
and we need we need Math to.

391
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:04,039
Speaker 2: Be better to be not diabolically bad man.

392
00:23:04,079 --> 00:23:05,839
Speaker 1: He had six assists the other day and I was like,

393
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,799
holy shit, Like, I hope this is something they can

394
00:23:08,839 --> 00:23:09,880
open up and build on.

395
00:23:11,079 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 2: It's funny, you know, Lucas and I were talking about

396
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:18,319
this actually the other day for the unoficiated Lucas Lucas

397
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:23,720
Pam I believe is how he pounses it. It's very

398
00:23:23,759 --> 00:23:26,359
clear when you watch him on a possession. You can

399
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,559
tell is he going to pass or is he going

400
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:30,079
to shoot?

401
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 1: The answer is both often shoot.

402
00:23:33,799 --> 00:23:37,599
Speaker 7: And it's so funny because when he passes, he's a

403
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:42,240
really good pass like he has the skill set. Yes, yeah,

404
00:23:42,279 --> 00:23:44,359
And so I just think it's so funny that like

405
00:23:44,839 --> 00:23:47,160
he gets this tunnel vision into one or the other,

406
00:23:47,279 --> 00:23:49,160
and it's like, dude, if you just blended the two,

407
00:23:49,519 --> 00:23:52,319
you're such a good passer, you could be so much

408
00:23:52,319 --> 00:23:53,440
better than you are right now.

409
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,039
Speaker 1: And I think like him being because he kind of

410
00:23:56,039 --> 00:23:57,680
has the Terrence Man thing where you can see that

411
00:23:57,799 --> 00:24:01,480
you can see the gears turning gears, and I think

412
00:24:01,519 --> 00:24:06,279
that guys just not being together and just being off yea,

413
00:24:06,839 --> 00:24:10,799
is it is helps him get into that mode, which

414
00:24:10,839 --> 00:24:11,640
is unfortunate.

415
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I feel that, and like I think we

416
00:24:16,079 --> 00:24:18,119
talked about it the last for one of the times

417
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:22,720
I was on. But I definitely now see both sides, right.

418
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,480
I see the side that I saw, which is this

419
00:24:25,799 --> 00:24:27,319
is a really good player who has a lot of

420
00:24:27,319 --> 00:24:28,759
really good raw talent.

421
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: And I think should be on the team next year.

422
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:36,079
Speaker 2: For sure. I want to keep him. But I also

423
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:40,839
see the pacer side of I'm not giving you twenty

424
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:41,960
five to thirty million.

425
00:24:42,599 --> 00:24:45,519
Speaker 1: I had a thought and for the people who watch

426
00:24:45,599 --> 00:24:48,839
this show, who have followed then Mathern from the Pacers

427
00:24:48,839 --> 00:24:51,200
to hear, thank you so much. And I what I'm

428
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,839
about to say is not going to sound as harsh

429
00:24:53,839 --> 00:24:57,839
as I think it does. In my head right now,

430
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,119
it feels like he is how can I put this?

431
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,960
Kuminga seems like a poor man's Ben Mathern. Yes, that

432
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,319
is what I That is how I feel. That's not

433
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,359
a knock on Ben Mathern. It's a little in between

434
00:25:14,519 --> 00:25:17,960
start and bench for which also I don't think matters

435
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,920
as much because if you're in the finishing lineups, that's

436
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:25,799
just that's infinitely just as important. So I think that Again,

437
00:25:25,839 --> 00:25:27,519
that's not to say I think he should be on

438
00:25:27,519 --> 00:25:29,039
the team next year. I think the Clipper would be

439
00:25:29,039 --> 00:25:31,920
smart to re sign Ben, but it's just one of

440
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:37,319
those things. There is a where does it fit fit

441
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,240
to figure out.

442
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 2: I think the best comp for him in terms of

443
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:50,400
like Clippers is Norm m Yeah. Really really view it

444
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,880
at six man, probably overqualified for six man, but long

445
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,680
term starter unless the deficiencies change.

446
00:25:58,839 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 1: Which they still can't. He is very yes, and he

447
00:26:03,519 --> 00:26:05,799
likes being on this team, and he likes playing with Kawhi,

448
00:26:05,839 --> 00:26:08,480
which I like, he's in a position to become a

449
00:26:08,559 --> 00:26:09,680
legitimate starter.

450
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,319
Speaker 2: Correct And and I honestly like, obviously I hope he

451
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,160
becomes that selfishly, but I also think for him it

452
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,160
would be so good to even if it's not just

453
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,160
for this year, like next year, come in with a

454
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,799
renewed focus, kind of like Norm did that first year

455
00:26:26,839 --> 00:26:29,839
he was just start and just being able to be like, Okay,

456
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,400
I now know exactly who I am.

457
00:26:32,839 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 1: Yes, and he can do it again. Yes, Okay, one

458
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,640
thing the Clipper before you before we get out of here.

459
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,920
One thing you think the Clippers absolutely need to do

460
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,160
to get a win tomorrow, and your player of the

461
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,839
game before I bring up one subject if you do

462
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:48,359
have time.

463
00:26:48,759 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 2: Okay, So what I think they need to do is

464
00:26:55,200 --> 00:27:00,200
bomb away. I know Ty, like why I I I

465
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,599
know Ty likes to keep things close through his chest.

466
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,559
But my game plan for hey, let's beat the Spurs

467
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:12,519
is shoot as many threes as we can because they know, yeah, yeah,

468
00:27:12,559 --> 00:27:16,160
just shoot fifty threes. I don't care, right, But also

469
00:27:16,559 --> 00:27:21,559
I would funnel every Spurs offensive possession to Wemby when

470
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,279
he's on the floor. I want you. I want him

471
00:27:24,279 --> 00:27:27,279
to work as hard as he can. He can score fit.

472
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,960
It's like the Luca principle for me. You can score fifty,

473
00:27:31,279 --> 00:27:34,759
that's cool. I just don't want you to have tennisists, right.

474
00:27:35,519 --> 00:27:38,359
I want you to tire yourself out. I want you

475
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,519
to only be able to play twenty eight to thirty minutes.

476
00:27:41,599 --> 00:27:44,559
I want to make sure that my game plan is

477
00:27:44,599 --> 00:27:47,440
centered around you are not going to be on the

478
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,119
floor as much as your team wants you to be

479
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:55,240
on the floor. We've already seen Wemby tire out, wear down.

480
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,680
We know that he's coming back from stuff, and so

481
00:27:58,319 --> 00:28:00,880
my game plan would be making workers hard as possible.

482
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,759
Funnel him the ball, play really physical. You've got a

483
00:28:04,759 --> 00:28:08,559
lot of fouls to play with. Just like really allow

484
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,720
him to take the brunt of the offense and on

485
00:28:11,799 --> 00:28:14,319
the other side, just fucking shoot it as many times

486
00:28:14,319 --> 00:28:14,759
as you can.

487
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:16,319
Speaker 1: And who's your player of the game.

488
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 2: I think we see Darius Garland show up.

489
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: Tomorrow on this show. You can't pick Darius Garner if

490
00:28:25,519 --> 00:28:26,960
they play well, obviously.

491
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 2: I think we see John Collins build on his performance

492
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,359
and score over twenty points.

493
00:28:34,079 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: To Oh shit, all right, I like that Yeah, I'm

494
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,759
gonna say, just don't get murdered on the glass. Yes,

495
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,680
just don't get massacred on the glass. I'm not saying

496
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,599
I would love to win the boards. Right, Let's not

497
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:53,240
give up twenty second chance points. Don't let weby get

498
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,839
the double double or at least the Hardy double double. Right,

499
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:03,640
And then player of the game. I'm gonna go. I

500
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,839
picked Lopez for yesterday's game, which I'm proud of you.

501
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,559
He went two for seven from three. I'm gonna go.

502
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,839
I'm going math dude. I think Mathrine, we're gonna see him.

503
00:29:16,039 --> 00:29:18,680
This is a when I have a bad game, I

504
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,279
come out swinging and they connect.

505
00:29:20,759 --> 00:29:22,839
Speaker 2: That's what I'm I just want to talk to him

506
00:29:22,839 --> 00:29:23,279
really quick.

507
00:29:23,359 --> 00:29:27,359
Speaker 1: Ben da good watcher and listener of clips and day.

508
00:29:27,759 --> 00:29:32,279
Speaker 2: At Ben Mathron, you should be embarrassed by your effort yesterday.

509
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,799
Oh whoa, You should be embarrassed, and I challenge you

510
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,400
to play a better game tomorrow and lift the Clippers

511
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,240
to victory. That's what I do right now.

512
00:29:42,599 --> 00:29:45,039
Speaker 1: The way this season is gone. This might get clipped

513
00:29:45,039 --> 00:29:47,079
and shown to Ben Mathron and then he's gonna put

514
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:48,319
up thirty five points, and.

515
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:52,119
Speaker 2: I fucking hope so because you know what makes me

516
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,920
most mad about March is we had a fifteen and

517
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,079
three opportunity and we could have had Flamming to tweet again.

518
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: I don't think flam was going to eat the tweeting again.

519
00:30:01,319 --> 00:30:04,759
Speaker 2: He is a man of his word. Don't ever disrespectfulm

520
00:30:04,839 --> 00:30:05,119
like that.

521
00:30:05,119 --> 00:30:08,359
Speaker 1: That's not what I'm saying at all. I just don't

522
00:30:08,359 --> 00:30:15,279
think all right, one last thing, the Pat Bev podcast

523
00:30:15,359 --> 00:30:23,279
grift is annoying. I'm just it's just like, dude, we

524
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,880
get it. You're an ex player and now you're saying

525
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,680
that James Harden's better than Dwayne Wade for some reason.

526
00:30:31,359 --> 00:30:34,440
And I can tell you can tell that it's you

527
00:30:34,519 --> 00:30:37,599
can tell that he doesn't give a shit about this.

528
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,720
It just feels like such an end of the cycle.

529
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:47,720
Can we please stop this because it's so obvious. It's

530
00:30:47,799 --> 00:30:53,039
just like, dude, we get it. Like I'm tired of it,

531
00:30:53,039 --> 00:30:54,680
and I bove that Pat Bev is doing it.

532
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 2: To be honest, I I loved Pat Bev with all

533
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,799
of my heart for very long time.

534
00:31:01,039 --> 00:31:04,039
Speaker 1: Yes, he's responsible for one of the greatest clippers pictures

535
00:31:04,039 --> 00:31:04,400
of all.

536
00:31:04,279 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 2: Time and one of the greatest clippers moments of all time,

537
00:31:07,279 --> 00:31:09,319
which was him shoving Chris Paul in the back in

538
00:31:09,359 --> 00:31:12,279
the Western Conference Finals the greatest.

539
00:31:12,519 --> 00:31:15,839
Speaker 1: Oh that was.

540
00:31:16,599 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 2: But as someone who hated Chris Paul, I mean that's

541
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:28,680
but uh yeah, it's the state of media not to

542
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,000
be we're non journalists.

543
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,599
Speaker 1: We're not at all. But I have to be subjected

544
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,160
to Pat Bev's takes hit in the face.

545
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,839
Speaker 2: It's bad right now. That's all I gotta say, is like,

546
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:46,039
I don't think there's a lot of and he's like

547
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:47,160
I'm just chalking.

548
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: Like he had some tweet where he was like all

549
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,240
these old men talking to Da Dada day and you're like,

550
00:31:51,279 --> 00:31:55,839
you're thirty seven old. And it's also like people are

551
00:31:55,839 --> 00:31:59,480
like thirty three. It's also like I actually think James

552
00:31:59,519 --> 00:32:00,119
Harden is a.

553
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 8: Great yeah fit, wonderful, Yeah good, Like I don't that

554
00:32:07,519 --> 00:32:11,440
shouldn't grossome like you if you want to go argue

555
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,799
with Pat bab about it, go for But it's like

556
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:15,880
it's just useless.

557
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's.

558
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,119
Speaker 1: Say they love the game and then like do ship

559
00:32:22,319 --> 00:32:25,119
like this. I'm like this makes the game worse.

560
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 2: It's it's hard, it's hard. It's it's really hard. Especially

561
00:32:30,279 --> 00:32:33,039
I think basketball has a has an identity crisis right now.

562
00:32:33,079 --> 00:32:36,759
In terms of media, I think I think some of

563
00:32:38,519 --> 00:32:43,480
what new like mediaites partners have been doing is really good,

564
00:32:43,559 --> 00:32:46,279
trying to bring the love back to the game. But

565
00:32:46,559 --> 00:32:52,160
I do think that we have strayed too far from

566
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:56,119
like really what makes basketball great and a lot of

567
00:32:57,079 --> 00:32:58,799
social media at this point. Part of the reason why

568
00:32:58,839 --> 00:33:04,160
I'm off has been come purely based on what is

569
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,440
going to get the most engagement exactly.

570
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: That's what gets me is I'm like, all right, like

571
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,359
when yeah, it's just frustrating, man, Like.

572
00:33:12,359 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 2: If you believed it, cool, great, awesome, Let's have.

573

00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:24,119
Speaker 7: Okay, Okay, So here's the deal.

609
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,519
Speaker 1: If use the ship talk on the essay thing, I'm

610
00:35:27,559 --> 00:35:28,840
actually gonna cut your mic off.

611

Speaker 2: No, no, no, it's you. You put out the rules. The

612
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:38,159
essay thing is fantastic. So let me let me maybe modify. Yeah,

613
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,360
no one else right, so that dom can.

614
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: We're not sending all of those things to one person.

615
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:45,519
Speaker 2: I am sending all of those.

616
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,599
Speaker 1: So here's the thing to send. So we have one

617
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,679
essay already, and then we will randomly select stuff for

618
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,719
the other nine that we get.

619
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:59,519
Speaker 2: I will modify my approach here we want to hear

620
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:04,880
as a member of CLIPS and did your voice okay.

621
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,880
Something that has bothered me, hold on. Something that has

622
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:13,119
bothered me for a long time is the use of

623
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:18,920
AI to make everyone sound homogeneous, or to pretend like.

624
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: They sound like we're doing no AI. Yeah, like I

625
00:36:22,079 --> 00:36:26,559
checked this multiple my soapbox is you got seconds.

626
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,679
Speaker 9: I don't care how grammatically correct you are. I don't

627
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:34,880
care how like. What you're great in English was be

628
00:36:35,119 --> 00:36:39,440
strong in your voice, because.

629
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,760
Speaker 2: Making it to where you are presenting something that isn't

630
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:47,400
you is actually robbing you of an opportunity to express

631
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,880
yourself appropriately. I feel very passionate about this, As I

632
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,320
tell you, I got a huge thing at worked today

633
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:57,840
about AI. Do not use it to mask yourself. If

634
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,400
you want to use AI to like learn things, or

635
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,360
to synthesize data or do all that, that's fine whatever.

636
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:07,039
I don't care. But when it comes to writing, be you,

637
00:37:08,119 --> 00:37:10,800
because what we all want is to hear what you

638
00:37:11,039 --> 00:37:11,800
have to say.

639
00:37:12,119 --> 00:37:14,599
Speaker 1: Especially about the Clippers twenty five to twenty sixth season.

640
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:18,960
It's been insane, very weird. I'm going to read an

641
00:37:19,039 --> 00:37:22,000
excerpt from the essay that we got, and then we're

642
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,079
going to send everyone on their way to be stressed

643
00:37:24,079 --> 00:37:31,000
out about the game tomorrow. This excerpt is wonderful. Da

644
00:37:31,079 --> 00:37:34,440
da da da data. This was right after the team

645
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,760
was six and twenty one. Tyler went to the podium

646
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,920
and laid out the goal for the rest of the season,

647
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,960
thirty five and twenty. The NBA community collectively laughed. A

648
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,280
six and twenty one team going thirty five and twenty

649
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,039
to close the season had never happened before. It would

650
00:37:49,079 --> 00:37:53,519
be quite literally historic that same night, a gentleman with

651
00:37:53,559 --> 00:37:56,000
the Twitter handle of rich Homie Flom would etch his

652
00:37:56,079 --> 00:37:58,719
name in the laurels of Clippers history. If they go

653
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,360
fifteen to three in any stretch this season, I will

654
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,199
print and eat this tweet. A couple beers in after

655
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,960
watching another Clipper victory, I toy with the idea of

656
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,119
getting this tattooed. Little did mister rich HOLMEI know, but

657
00:38:10,159 --> 00:38:12,199
this tweet would become the battle cry for the biggest

658
00:38:12,199 --> 00:38:16,719
turnaround in NBA history. Send us that kind of stuff,

659
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:21,000
maybees one hundred words at least, and you will get

660
