Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ding dong. It's our number three, our number three. We
go all the way back to the weekend here on
the original recipe Ben Malershell Podcast by request. Now, normally
we don't do this kind of thing, but we will
do it to appease the angry masses. Where did things
go wrong for the Kawhi Leonard Clippers as they were
(00:22):
obliterated over the weekend in a game seven? What does
this latest stinker do for James Harden and his playoff legacy?
And do you agree or disagree with Russell Westbrook that
the Clippers picked the wrong person after his latest playoff loss?
Have you lost faith in the Clipper franchise of Steve
(00:46):
Baumber the owner? And whatnot? The Clippers losing yet again
in the plus we're talking about all that and more
right now here. It is our number three, the old
clip slip, and oh what a slip it was? Welcome
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
We are in the air everywhere as we wag our
tongue under the cover of darkness and burn up the
road coast to coast, border, the border and beyond.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
On the mast and considerably powerful microphones of fs are
ama nating live from the joust four rounds of verbal
jousting from the Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved by
Joey the Bellman. I felt bad for Joy Send me
a message over the weekend, says I believe in your clippers.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Ben.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I'm betting a lot of money. I'm in a casino
in Iowa. I'm betting a lot of money. Wow, how'd
that work out? Not so good? Not so good? Well? Hey,
this portion of the Ben Male Show made possible by
tire Ract. That's right tire Rack. For over forty years,

way tire buying should be so by request, by request,
the customer is always right. We'll go back to pro
bouncy Ball. I was not planning on doing another pro
bouncy ball monologue. Last hour. We talked about the Cleveland
Cadavers going bye bye as Levlew was Game one to Indiana. Earlier,
(02:25):
we did a full mall monologu ast Golden State, Rose
up and really dominatedn't trail in the second half on
the road against a gutlass Houston team. There's a theme
in game seven's here and so by request, we go
back to Saturday night, all the way back to Saturday
Game seven, Western Conference, the Clippers trying not to choke
(02:46):
on a chicken nugget, and that was the setup much
anticipated Game seven, back and forth and if you did
not watch the game, good news. You did not waste
your time. You did not waste Someday you'll be your deathbed.
And you said, boy, I wish I hadn't sat around
watched the Clippers and the Nuggets in a game seven
Holy crap. Aaron Gordon had twenty two points. Christian Brown,
(03:09):
which should be pronounced Braun but it's pronounced Brown had
twenty one. The scrubs for the Nuggets had big games
and Denver led by as many as thirty five points.
How embarrassing. They vaporized the Clippers in a Game seven
win or go home situation. The Clippers were road kill
(03:31):
and then some and then some. So that means that Denver,
who was the number for the number four seed, they
have advanced now to take on the number one number
one seed, a well rested Oklahoma City thunder team and
former Clipper shake Yogis Alexander. I remember they swept the Grizzlies.
(03:53):
Even though John Moran had all of his fake guns
and hand grenades and Molotov cocktails, all the fake weaponry,
that was not enough to help Memphis out in that series.
He got hurt anyway, and it turns out I guess
that was a real injury. He didn't have a fake injury,
although he had a like imaginary ankle brace on. Anyway,
So listen, you don't want to hear me talk about
(04:14):
the Nuggets. You're not here for that. You don't want
to hear that. We know the better stories in the
losing locker room and o MG. So let's discuss the
question is this, where did things go wrong for the
Kawhi Leonard Clippers. Kawai stayed healthy in the postseason, he
didn't get hurt, he didn't miss a game. Where did
(04:36):
things go wrong for the Kawhi Leonard Clippers. So I've
got whitewater, rafting, Coca Cola, butler, and sword, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make Dole whip which actually would have put
up more of a fight doll whip than the Clippers.
If the NBA had just sent out a couple of
(04:58):
doll whips out on the court to have presented more
of a challenge for the Denver Nuggets than the pathetic
performance that took place on Saturday night. My god, all right,
so my first thought here to answer the question where
did things go wrong for the Clippers? The moment the
plane touched down in Colorado, it was da okay, it's over.
(05:21):
What a manure? I mean, that doesn't do it? Just
I'd like to curse. I can't curse. I'm not allowed
to curse.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
You might remember when the Clippers and Nuggets played during
the pandemic. I did curse. I just let it rip.
I just got some really good bad words in there,
and it was wonderful. This was unimaginable humiliation. And the
thing about is these guys, I don't think they care.
That is the most damning thing. You don't care. I'm
(05:50):
convinced otherwise they wouldn't have played like that. They just
don't give a crap. How do you show up and
and I'm not wired that way? Do the overnight show
here and yet I treat every show like it's actually
it's actually important. Uh. And and these guys are in
the NBA making a gazillion dollars and they go out
(06:12):
there and they urinate down their legs in Game seven
and they don't even seem to care. You know, at
some point, why don't you shove one of the Nuggets?
Send a message nothing? They were a doormat. The Nuggets
walked all over them. It was ridiculous, and it was
humilion for the face. Again, I don't think the players
are humiliate. I don't think they They're all rich, they're
(06:33):
all well paid. They don't give a crap. No pride.
There is not a single player that has pride, not
one of them. And the Clippers actually came out they
had an early six point lead in the game, and
then I don't know if there was a sign like
like the bat sign or something that that was up
in the arena. I have no idea. Maybe Rocky the
mascot put something in their in their drink. But the
(06:55):
Clippers and I went back and I did the math Ons.
They literally they went white wing on the Lazy River. Okay,
they were on a raft and they did it. Was
supposed to be whitewater rafting, and it was the Lazy River.
The Clippers, I still can't believe. I saw they were
outscored by forty one points. They went from up six
in the first quarter to down thirty five points in
(07:19):
a game seven, in a winner you advance game seven. Now,
I covered some terrible Clipper teams. When I first got
into radio, a lot of you know my story. I
started out of station in San Diego. I worked my
early gigs in radio were going to locker rooms and
interviewing players, and I, since I was the new guy,
I got assigned a lot of Clipper games, a lot
(07:40):
of Clipper games, and they played at the La Sports Arena,
which is called the Mausoleum because I think there were
more people that were dead bear than that were alive.
They don't even that arena doesn't even exist anymore. There's
a soccer stadium there now. But I spent a lot
of my my years in my twenties at that arena,
and I covered some morbid Clipper teams, horrifically bad teams,
(08:01):
teams that had no talent and they were just an
absolute I can't say, you can imagine the words i'd
like to say, but during that time, one of the
coaches the Clippers had was this guy named Bill Fitch.
Bill Fitch was a Hall of Fame coach, and at
the end of his career he had coached like the
Celtics and the Rockets when they had Elijah Won and Samson,
and so he'd coached some really good teams. But by
(08:23):
the time he got to the Clippers, he was just
hanging on getting a check. You know. He coached like
that New Jersey Nets and the Clippers. At the end
of his career. He was very nice to me, but
he one of the things he said to me at
the time, he said, obviously we're not very good, but
he said, as long as you put the effort out,
you should never get blown out. And the only reason
you're going to get blown out is if you're not
(08:45):
putting the effort in. He gave me this whole rap
about how there's not that big a difference between the
very top team and the NBA and the very worst team.
And this is a long time ago. He is explaining
the whole thing, and it made a lot of sense,
and I think it's the same concept applies that team
gave up. The Clippers gave up. They were outscored one
oh three to sixty two in that stretch, ring the bell. Shame, shame, shame.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
On all of you.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Shame, shame, shame, shame. That is a dereliction of duties. Shame.
It is shame. That is mouthfeasis, that is bungling basketball
is what that is. At no point did you ever think, well,
this is not going well, maybe we should change things
up here, try to send a message, right something like
for some reason I thought, well, they might lose, but
(09:34):
they're not gonna get outwork, They're not gonna get embarrassed, right,
They're gonna go out there. You want that mindset, right,
you want that perseverance, that dog of war, mentality, play
with desperation, scratching, call all those cliches and sports. They
went out there like a toy poodle with fleas is
how they played in that game. And again, at no
point did they were like, say, wait a minute. The
(09:55):
moment I knew that they were toast, that's suck. So
and so James Harden, all right, Harden's out there now.
He was not at the foul line. He was on
he was trying to get a rebound. Russell Westbrook was
at the foul line, and Westbrook bricks a foul shot,
which he often does, right and Harden and I forget
(10:18):
who the other Clipper was. I just jotted down Harden's name.
They stood there as what Russell Westbrook misses the shot,
zooms past them and gets a layup in a game seven,
I don't need a box out. La la la la
la la la la la la la la la. And
it's one of those things. This is a lesson that
(10:38):
is learned in youth sports that you're not necessarily going
to be the most talented. And it's really true in
anything in life, right, whether you're doing a radio show,
or you're a truck driver, you're work in a factory, whatever,
maybe you're not the most talented person. But if you
put the effort in, if you hustle on every opportunity
(10:59):
that does not require athletic ability. And I actually put
the Usually I only mute Doris Burke because I can't
stand her, but I actually muted the broadcast on Saturday
because they were like making excuses saying the Clippers were tired.
I mean, seriously, I will said the f work, what
are you doing? Like Sara's what are you doing? It's
(11:20):
game seven? I mean, god, all right, now let's focus
in on the person that is the biggest villain in
all this. What does this latest stinker do for the
legacy of James Harden? What was it due? So, as
you know, I tried to give James Harden the benefit
(11:40):
of the doubt. I attempted to be Benny Bright's side
on these airwaves, and I did the math, and the
math was correct that about ten percent of the time
James Harden goes out there and just pukes all over
the court in a playoff game, about ten percent. So
I gave him the bene of the doubt. And watching
him yet again, I'm reminded of about how Kobe Bryant
(12:01):
had the Mamba mentality, right, the Mamba mentality, And then
you see James Harden and it's like he's got that
hippo energy. You know, hippo's sleep sixteen to twenty hours
a day. They just kind of lay around. They go
from land to water, but they're pretty much just relaxing.
They're just kind of la la la. So James Harden
has that hippo energy. He's just kind of laying around,
you know whatever. And if he was a flower now
(12:23):
he would not be the pussy willow. He would be
the shrinking violet. Okay, the shrinking violet. He wilts under pressure.
Now there's a term that doesn't get used a lot
in basketball, but I think it would apply to James
Harden as well. It's more of a soccer term. I
guess you could say Harden is the Coca Cola butler
if you will here, because he's a big game butler's
I was told by a listener over the weekend as
(12:44):
a soccer term. He might have been pulling my chain.
I did look it up. I did see that it
is a legitimate term. The butler is a player who
consistently underperforms in big moments, which is James Harden. But
in terms of the big picture, it's just another chapter
in his book. It's just another chapter passive play in
big moments. He infected his teammates and a complete idiot's
(13:07):
guide to blowing playoff games with James Harden. The Clippers
lost to Denver in Game seven. That now means that
he has brought this poison to four different teams, with
the Roquettes twice. Game seven Losers twenty seven, twenty seventeen,
(13:28):
twenty eighteen, the Brooklyn Nets twenty twenty one, the Philadelphia
seventy six ers in twenty twenty three, and the Clippers.
Harden his last thirteen elimination games is two and eleven,
two and eleven man and that Game seven performance was
a special addition, smoldering pile of turds for the world
(13:51):
to watch there. And since twenty twenty, Harden has averaged
in these big spots less than fourteen points per game
and shooting less than thirty percent, less than thirty percent,
three point shooting less than seventeen percent, and he's played
over forty minutes almost forty two minutes a game in
(14:13):
that stretch, and to shoot below thirty percent in each
of those games since twenty twenty. These are elimination situation games.
Game sevens. It's wild. The consistency, there's a design flaw.
There's obviously a design flaw there. And the way I
would describe James Hary, I think I got the perfect analogy.
(14:35):
If you're old enough to remember, remember the Samsung Galaxy
Note seven phone. You remember that phone? You don't remember
that phone? So the phone there was a flaw in
the battery and it would lead to overheating and explosions
like the phones were blowing up and people were being
maimed by the phones blowing up. So that is hardened
(14:58):
in big games. He is the Samsung Galaxy Note seven
with the faulty battery that will just burn up. It's crazy,
all right, now, final thought, So the Clippers dared Russell
Westbrook to beat them, and not that he necessarily individually
beat them, but he didn't make more shots than he's
(15:18):
ever made in his career. And as he was walking
off the court, Westbrook, as he is known to do,
was talking and he was yelling, and he said that
the Clippers picked the wrong person, didn't they? As he
walked around like a rooster with his chest up in
the air everywhere. So question for the steam panel here,
(15:41):
do you agree or disagree with Russell Westbrook that the
Clippers picked the wrong person. They traded him to Utah
for Chris Dunn, who is done. Holy crap, all right.
So this is a sword situation, a double edged sword situation,
is what it is. Because on one hand, trading Russell
(16:02):
Westbrook was the absolute wise move. For those that have
forgotten he was really bad. He was James Harden level
bad in playoff games for the Clippers. And just because
you happened to go to Denver and you made a
couple of shots does not change the fact that you
were a tumor for the Clippers. Okay, that doesn't change that.
(16:23):
So I mentioned this is the double edged sword because
on one hand, the Clippers they had to get rid
of Westbrook. It grew stale, it was time to move on.
That was smart. The problem is getting Chris Donne. Chris
Dunn should be a not basketball player. He should be
a freemason is what he should be, because there's a
lot of brickwork. He's atrocious, he's got no offensive game.
(16:47):
And it also shows us, though on a deeper level,
that Russell Westbrook wishes he was still a Clipper. Sisthough,
why would you be able to set You should be
happy you're no longer a Clipper right instead? Oh man,
they got rid of the wrong guy. They should have
kept me. Tells you he doesn't want to be in Denver.
He's not happy with the Nuggets, and it's payback against
(17:08):
the Clippers because he wishes he was a Clipper. Now
after this latest playoff loss. Have we lost all faith
in the clip? Is it all over now? The Clippers doomed?
They're never going to win? Oh my god, let's not
make this some kind of Greek tragedy. Okay, I didn't
expect them to win this year. They didn't Okay so far.
It didn't expect them to just give up in Game seven.
(17:30):
That part is disheartening, But I'm still drinking the kool aid.
And here's why. All right, towards Steve Balmer. All right,
Steve Balmer, this guy is maniacal. A right, he's maniacal.
He will beg, borrow and steal to get a winner.
And now, fortunately you don't have to steal when you're
the richest guy in the world, or one of them.
He's worth one hundred and twenty five billion dollars. A
(17:51):
lot of these rich guys they got the mega yachts,
they've got the private jets, and he probably has all
those things. But for Steve Balmer, his passion is the
basketball team. That is his pride. Enjoy the Clippers, and
he's going to keep changing the formula until they get
the right formula. And I'd immediately get rid of James Harden.
I would rather play four on five than have James
(18:14):
Harden on my team because you know what's gonna happen,
and he doesn't even really seem to care. So okay,
go play somewhere else and you'll get your twenty points
of games during the regular season, and then when the
team needs you the most, you'll poop your diaper and
that'll be that. But as long as Steve Bamber's in charge,
the Clippers are always going to be in it to
win it, and so they got the greatest arena they've got.
(18:36):
I mean, Bomber flew in a private plane filled with
Clipper fans so they could go out and watch their
team urinate down their leg in Game seven. He's the
people that sit in the wall will fly in. Why not.
But they'll just keep tweaking it and changing things around,
and eventually they'll they'll get it right. But this is
obviously not the right mix by far. It is The
(18:57):

yeah nice because.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
It's pretty, nice you, know trail in the entire second
half of the, game.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Right, Yeah and NOW i had to look at the
chart Of Buddy heel to see what was up with.
Him and he's Born december, seventeenth nineteen ninety, two so
he's that kind of, playful Adventurous. Sagittarius he was kind
of you know with the post, game he was like
making fun and being really, playful and he, scored like you,
(25:23):
said thirty three. Points AND i always Say mars is
an important planet for an athlete who was, energy assertion and,
aggression and he was having some Positive mars aspects which
really propelled him and made him. Stronger SO i thought
that that was really excellent timing for The warriors For game.
Seven and you, Know curry did well and so on And,
(25:45):
draymond but it was really nice to See Buddy heal
kind of step up and do so well and Get
game seven go.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
In and, yeah he's a common he's got That bahamas
coolness to, him, Right so The.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Bahamas that's so interesting you said That BEN i was
looking at his birth place BECAUSE i need the first.
Date sometimes they have the, time sometimes they, don't and
the birth place and it was, like oh, YEAH i
kind of laid back and The bahamas and he really
had that kind of, playful adventurous energy and he was
having positive aspects to his tenth hous of, career which
(26:19):
basically is, expansion, abundance and. Opportunity so he's in the
right place at the right. Time SO i, think you,
know good timing for, him good timing for.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
That, well it's fair to say when he was, playing
like for These Sacramento, kings he was in the wrong
place at the wrong. Time would be when he was
In sacramento or the other team about, that other teams
he's played. On but, yeah he played well and they
left him open And Jalen green wasn't really guarding him
and he made the, shots so good for.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Him, yeah he rose to the.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Occasion, yeah it's nice to. See you, know my players
on my teams don't do. That so it's nice to
see when other teams have players that actually rise to
the occasion and don't. Die Then i'm not, crying but
they don't get in the fetal positions suck their thumb like. Clippers,
okay uh, anyway but it was nice and so now
you've got another series a couple of days, away.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Next two, days two, days and then two more. Days. Yeah,

go all the way back to the weekend here on
the original recipe Ben Malershell Podcast by request. Now, normally
we don't do this kind of thing, but we will
do it to appease the angry masses. Where did things
go wrong for the Kawhi Leonard Clippers as they were
(00:22):
obliterated over the weekend in a game seven? What does
this latest stinker do for James Harden and his playoff legacy?
And do you agree or disagree with Russell Westbrook that
the Clippers picked the wrong person after his latest playoff loss?
Have you lost faith in the Clipper franchise of Steve
(00:46):
Baumber the owner? And whatnot? The Clippers losing yet again
in the plus we're talking about all that and more
right now here. It is our number three, the old
clip slip, and oh what a slip it was? Welcome
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
We are in the air everywhere as we wag our
tongue under the cover of darkness and burn up the
road coast to coast, border, the border and beyond.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
On the mast and considerably powerful microphones of fs are
ama nating live from the joust four rounds of verbal
jousting from the Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved by
Joey the Bellman. I felt bad for Joy Send me
a message over the weekend, says I believe in your clippers.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Ben.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I'm betting a lot of money. I'm in a casino
in Iowa. I'm betting a lot of money. Wow, how'd
that work out? Not so good? Not so good? Well? Hey,
this portion of the Ben Male Show made possible by
tire Ract. That's right tire Rack. For over forty years,
tire Rack has been helping customers find the right tires
for how, what and where they drive. Ship fast and
free Hello back by free road protection with convenient installation
(02:02):
options like mobile tire Installation tire ract dot Com. The
way tire buying should be so by request, by request,
the customer is always right. We'll go back to pro
bouncy Ball. I was not planning on doing another pro
bouncy ball monologue. Last hour. We talked about the Cleveland
Cadavers going bye bye as Levlew was Game one to Indiana. Earlier,
(02:25):
we did a full mall monologu ast Golden State, Rose
up and really dominatedn't trail in the second half on
the road against a gutlass Houston team. There's a theme
in game seven's here and so by request, we go
back to Saturday night, all the way back to Saturday
Game seven, Western Conference, the Clippers trying not to choke
(02:46):
on a chicken nugget, and that was the setup much
anticipated Game seven, back and forth and if you did
not watch the game, good news. You did not waste
your time. You did not waste Someday you'll be your deathbed.
And you said, boy, I wish I hadn't sat around
watched the Clippers and the Nuggets in a game seven
Holy crap. Aaron Gordon had twenty two points. Christian Brown,
(03:09):
which should be pronounced Braun but it's pronounced Brown had
twenty one. The scrubs for the Nuggets had big games
and Denver led by as many as thirty five points.
How embarrassing. They vaporized the Clippers in a Game seven
win or go home situation. The Clippers were road kill
(03:31):
and then some and then some. So that means that Denver,
who was the number for the number four seed, they
have advanced now to take on the number one number
one seed, a well rested Oklahoma City thunder team and
former Clipper shake Yogis Alexander. I remember they swept the Grizzlies.
(03:53):
Even though John Moran had all of his fake guns
and hand grenades and Molotov cocktails, all the fake weaponry,
that was not enough to help Memphis out in that series.
He got hurt anyway, and it turns out I guess
that was a real injury. He didn't have a fake injury,
although he had a like imaginary ankle brace on. Anyway,
So listen, you don't want to hear me talk about
(04:14):
the Nuggets. You're not here for that. You don't want
to hear that. We know the better stories in the
losing locker room and o MG. So let's discuss the
question is this, where did things go wrong for the
Kawhi Leonard Clippers. Kawai stayed healthy in the postseason, he
didn't get hurt, he didn't miss a game. Where did
(04:36):
things go wrong for the Kawhi Leonard Clippers. So I've
got whitewater, rafting, Coca Cola, butler, and sword, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make Dole whip which actually would have put
up more of a fight doll whip than the Clippers.
If the NBA had just sent out a couple of
(04:58):
doll whips out on the court to have presented more
of a challenge for the Denver Nuggets than the pathetic
performance that took place on Saturday night. My god, all right,
so my first thought here to answer the question where
did things go wrong for the Clippers? The moment the
plane touched down in Colorado, it was da okay, it's over.
(05:21):
What a manure? I mean, that doesn't do it? Just
I'd like to curse. I can't curse. I'm not allowed
to curse.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
You might remember when the Clippers and Nuggets played during
the pandemic. I did curse. I just let it rip.
I just got some really good bad words in there,
and it was wonderful. This was unimaginable humiliation. And the
thing about is these guys, I don't think they care.
That is the most damning thing. You don't care. I'm
(05:50):
convinced otherwise they wouldn't have played like that. They just
don't give a crap. How do you show up and
and I'm not wired that way? Do the overnight show
here and yet I treat every show like it's actually
it's actually important. Uh. And and these guys are in
the NBA making a gazillion dollars and they go out
(06:12):
there and they urinate down their legs in Game seven
and they don't even seem to care. You know, at
some point, why don't you shove one of the Nuggets?
Send a message nothing? They were a doormat. The Nuggets
walked all over them. It was ridiculous, and it was
humilion for the face. Again, I don't think the players
are humiliate. I don't think they They're all rich, they're
(06:33):
all well paid. They don't give a crap. No pride.
There is not a single player that has pride, not
one of them. And the Clippers actually came out they
had an early six point lead in the game, and
then I don't know if there was a sign like
like the bat sign or something that that was up
in the arena. I have no idea. Maybe Rocky the
mascot put something in their in their drink. But the
(06:55):
Clippers and I went back and I did the math Ons.
They literally they went white wing on the Lazy River. Okay,
they were on a raft and they did it. Was
supposed to be whitewater rafting, and it was the Lazy River.
The Clippers, I still can't believe. I saw they were
outscored by forty one points. They went from up six
in the first quarter to down thirty five points in
(07:19):
a game seven, in a winner you advance game seven. Now,
I covered some terrible Clipper teams. When I first got
into radio, a lot of you know my story. I
started out of station in San Diego. I worked my
early gigs in radio were going to locker rooms and
interviewing players, and I, since I was the new guy,
I got assigned a lot of Clipper games, a lot
(07:40):
of Clipper games, and they played at the La Sports Arena,
which is called the Mausoleum because I think there were
more people that were dead bear than that were alive.
They don't even that arena doesn't even exist anymore. There's
a soccer stadium there now. But I spent a lot
of my my years in my twenties at that arena,
and I covered some morbid Clipper teams, horrifically bad teams,
(08:01):
teams that had no talent and they were just an
absolute I can't say, you can imagine the words i'd
like to say, but during that time, one of the
coaches the Clippers had was this guy named Bill Fitch.
Bill Fitch was a Hall of Fame coach, and at
the end of his career he had coached like the
Celtics and the Rockets when they had Elijah Won and Samson,
and so he'd coached some really good teams. But by
(08:23):
the time he got to the Clippers, he was just
hanging on getting a check. You know. He coached like
that New Jersey Nets and the Clippers. At the end
of his career. He was very nice to me, but
he one of the things he said to me at
the time, he said, obviously we're not very good, but
he said, as long as you put the effort out,
you should never get blown out. And the only reason
you're going to get blown out is if you're not
(08:45):
putting the effort in. He gave me this whole rap
about how there's not that big a difference between the
very top team and the NBA and the very worst team.
And this is a long time ago. He is explaining
the whole thing, and it made a lot of sense,
and I think it's the same concept applies that team
gave up. The Clippers gave up. They were outscored one
oh three to sixty two in that stretch, ring the bell. Shame, shame, shame.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
On all of you.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Shame, shame, shame, shame. That is a dereliction of duties. Shame.
It is shame. That is mouthfeasis, that is bungling basketball
is what that is. At no point did you ever think, well,
this is not going well, maybe we should change things
up here, try to send a message, right something like
for some reason I thought, well, they might lose, but
(09:34):
they're not gonna get outwork, They're not gonna get embarrassed, right,
They're gonna go out there. You want that mindset, right,
you want that perseverance, that dog of war, mentality, play
with desperation, scratching, call all those cliches and sports. They
went out there like a toy poodle with fleas is
how they played in that game. And again, at no
point did they were like, say, wait a minute. The
(09:55):
moment I knew that they were toast, that's suck. So
and so James Harden, all right, Harden's out there now.
He was not at the foul line. He was on
he was trying to get a rebound. Russell Westbrook was
at the foul line, and Westbrook bricks a foul shot,
which he often does, right and Harden and I forget
(10:18):
who the other Clipper was. I just jotted down Harden's name.
They stood there as what Russell Westbrook misses the shot,
zooms past them and gets a layup in a game seven,
I don't need a box out. La la la la
la la la la la la la la la. And
it's one of those things. This is a lesson that
(10:38):
is learned in youth sports that you're not necessarily going
to be the most talented. And it's really true in
anything in life, right, whether you're doing a radio show,
or you're a truck driver, you're work in a factory, whatever,
maybe you're not the most talented person. But if you
put the effort in, if you hustle on every opportunity
(10:59):
that does not require athletic ability. And I actually put
the Usually I only mute Doris Burke because I can't
stand her, but I actually muted the broadcast on Saturday
because they were like making excuses saying the Clippers were tired.
I mean, seriously, I will said the f work, what
are you doing? Like Sara's what are you doing? It's
(11:20):
game seven? I mean, god, all right, now let's focus
in on the person that is the biggest villain in
all this. What does this latest stinker do for the
legacy of James Harden? What was it due? So, as
you know, I tried to give James Harden the benefit
(11:40):
of the doubt. I attempted to be Benny Bright's side
on these airwaves, and I did the math, and the
math was correct that about ten percent of the time
James Harden goes out there and just pukes all over
the court in a playoff game, about ten percent. So
I gave him the bene of the doubt. And watching
him yet again, I'm reminded of about how Kobe Bryant
(12:01):
had the Mamba mentality, right, the Mamba mentality, And then
you see James Harden and it's like he's got that
hippo energy. You know, hippo's sleep sixteen to twenty hours
a day. They just kind of lay around. They go
from land to water, but they're pretty much just relaxing.
They're just kind of la la la. So James Harden
has that hippo energy. He's just kind of laying around,
you know whatever. And if he was a flower now
(12:23):
he would not be the pussy willow. He would be
the shrinking violet. Okay, the shrinking violet. He wilts under pressure.
Now there's a term that doesn't get used a lot
in basketball, but I think it would apply to James
Harden as well. It's more of a soccer term. I
guess you could say Harden is the Coca Cola butler
if you will here, because he's a big game butler's
I was told by a listener over the weekend as
(12:44):
a soccer term. He might have been pulling my chain.
I did look it up. I did see that it
is a legitimate term. The butler is a player who
consistently underperforms in big moments, which is James Harden. But
in terms of the big picture, it's just another chapter
in his book. It's just another chapter passive play in
big moments. He infected his teammates and a complete idiot's
(13:07):
guide to blowing playoff games with James Harden. The Clippers
lost to Denver in Game seven. That now means that
he has brought this poison to four different teams, with
the Roquettes twice. Game seven Losers twenty seven, twenty seventeen,
(13:28):
twenty eighteen, the Brooklyn Nets twenty twenty one, the Philadelphia
seventy six ers in twenty twenty three, and the Clippers.
Harden his last thirteen elimination games is two and eleven,
two and eleven man and that Game seven performance was
a special addition, smoldering pile of turds for the world
(13:51):
to watch there. And since twenty twenty, Harden has averaged
in these big spots less than fourteen points per game
and shooting less than thirty percent, less than thirty percent,
three point shooting less than seventeen percent, and he's played
over forty minutes almost forty two minutes a game in
(14:13):
that stretch, and to shoot below thirty percent in each
of those games since twenty twenty. These are elimination situation games.
Game sevens. It's wild. The consistency, there's a design flaw.
There's obviously a design flaw there. And the way I
would describe James Hary, I think I got the perfect analogy.
(14:35):
If you're old enough to remember, remember the Samsung Galaxy
Note seven phone. You remember that phone? You don't remember
that phone? So the phone there was a flaw in
the battery and it would lead to overheating and explosions
like the phones were blowing up and people were being
maimed by the phones blowing up. So that is hardened
(14:58):
in big games. He is the Samsung Galaxy Note seven
with the faulty battery that will just burn up. It's crazy,
all right, now, final thought, So the Clippers dared Russell
Westbrook to beat them, and not that he necessarily individually
beat them, but he didn't make more shots than he's
(15:18):
ever made in his career. And as he was walking
off the court, Westbrook, as he is known to do,
was talking and he was yelling, and he said that
the Clippers picked the wrong person, didn't they? As he
walked around like a rooster with his chest up in
the air everywhere. So question for the steam panel here,
(15:41):
do you agree or disagree with Russell Westbrook that the
Clippers picked the wrong person. They traded him to Utah
for Chris Dunn, who is done. Holy crap, all right.
So this is a sword situation, a double edged sword situation,
is what it is. Because on one hand, trading Russell
(16:02):
Westbrook was the absolute wise move. For those that have
forgotten he was really bad. He was James Harden level
bad in playoff games for the Clippers. And just because
you happened to go to Denver and you made a
couple of shots does not change the fact that you
were a tumor for the Clippers. Okay, that doesn't change that.
(16:23):
So I mentioned this is the double edged sword because
on one hand, the Clippers they had to get rid
of Westbrook. It grew stale, it was time to move on.
That was smart. The problem is getting Chris Donne. Chris
Dunn should be a not basketball player. He should be
a freemason is what he should be, because there's a
lot of brickwork. He's atrocious, he's got no offensive game.
(16:47):
And it also shows us, though on a deeper level,
that Russell Westbrook wishes he was still a Clipper. Sisthough,
why would you be able to set You should be
happy you're no longer a Clipper right instead? Oh man,
they got rid of the wrong guy. They should have
kept me. Tells you he doesn't want to be in Denver.
He's not happy with the Nuggets, and it's payback against
(17:08):
the Clippers because he wishes he was a Clipper. Now
after this latest playoff loss. Have we lost all faith
in the clip? Is it all over now? The Clippers doomed?
They're never going to win? Oh my god, let's not
make this some kind of Greek tragedy. Okay, I didn't
expect them to win this year. They didn't Okay so far.
It didn't expect them to just give up in Game seven.
(17:30):
That part is disheartening, But I'm still drinking the kool aid.
And here's why. All right, towards Steve Balmer. All right,
Steve Balmer, this guy is maniacal. A right, he's maniacal.
He will beg, borrow and steal to get a winner.
And now, fortunately you don't have to steal when you're
the richest guy in the world, or one of them.
He's worth one hundred and twenty five billion dollars. A
(17:51):
lot of these rich guys they got the mega yachts,
they've got the private jets, and he probably has all
those things. But for Steve Balmer, his passion is the
basketball team. That is his pride. Enjoy the Clippers, and
he's going to keep changing the formula until they get
the right formula. And I'd immediately get rid of James Harden.
I would rather play four on five than have James
(18:14):
Harden on my team because you know what's gonna happen,
and he doesn't even really seem to care. So okay,
go play somewhere else and you'll get your twenty points
of games during the regular season, and then when the
team needs you the most, you'll poop your diaper and
that'll be that. But as long as Steve Bamber's in charge,
the Clippers are always going to be in it to
win it, and so they got the greatest arena they've got.
(18:36):
I mean, Bomber flew in a private plane filled with
Clipper fans so they could go out and watch their
team urinate down their leg in Game seven. He's the
people that sit in the wall will fly in. Why not.
But they'll just keep tweaking it and changing things around,
and eventually they'll they'll get it right. But this is
obviously not the right mix by far. It is The

for The. Warriors that was pretty. Epic that was really uh,
yeah nice because.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
It's pretty, nice you, know trail in the entire second
half of the, game.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Right, Yeah and NOW i had to look at the
chart Of Buddy heel to see what was up with.
Him and he's Born december, seventeenth nineteen ninety, two so
he's that kind of, playful Adventurous. Sagittarius he was kind
of you know with the post, game he was like
making fun and being really, playful and he, scored like you,
(25:23):
said thirty three. Points AND i always Say mars is
an important planet for an athlete who was, energy assertion and,
aggression and he was having some Positive mars aspects which
really propelled him and made him. Stronger SO i thought
that that was really excellent timing for The warriors For game.
Seven and you, Know curry did well and so on And,
(25:45):
draymond but it was really nice to See Buddy heal
kind of step up and do so well and Get
game seven go.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
In and, yeah he's a common he's got That bahamas
coolness to, him, Right so The.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Bahamas that's so interesting you said That BEN i was
looking at his birth place BECAUSE i need the first.
Date sometimes they have the, time sometimes they, don't and
the birth place and it was, like oh, YEAH i
kind of laid back and The bahamas and he really
had that kind of, playful adventurous energy and he was
having positive aspects to his tenth hous of, career which
(26:19):
basically is, expansion, abundance and. Opportunity so he's in the
right place at the right. Time SO i, think you,
know good timing for, him good timing for.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
That, well it's fair to say when he was, playing
like for These Sacramento, kings he was in the wrong
place at the wrong. Time would be when he was
In sacramento or the other team about, that other teams
he's played. On but, yeah he played well and they
left him open And Jalen green wasn't really guarding him
and he made the, shots so good for.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Him, yeah he rose to the.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Occasion, yeah it's nice to. See you, know my players
on my teams don't do. That so it's nice to
see when other teams have players that actually rise to
the occasion and don't. Die Then i'm not, crying but
they don't get in the fetal positions suck their thumb like. Clippers,
okay uh, anyway but it was nice and so now
