Speaker 1 (00:12):
What is going on? Clippers fans, Welcome to a postgame
victory hang. It has been two weeks since we've been
able to do one of these. The Clippers get a
win in double over time against the Mavericks, thanks in
a gigantic part to James Harden having the first forty
(00:33):
point triple double in the history of the Clippers. HM.
It feels good to take a sip after a win.
I am Chuck Buckler. I think Adam Ods is gonna
hop on. Will Updike should be here too. This is
a Clips and Dip live happy hour hang. We usually
do these on Friday no matter what. But yeah, check
(00:53):
us out at Clippers dot com, slash at ur YouTube
dot complash at Clippers podcast for those listening. I'll put
this out on on later clips. Get the dub Baby
feels great. Uh. Raymond Nasser saying Chuck, I'm drunk. Am
I actually muted? I don't know if that's true. UM,
(01:20):
I want to double check if I'm actually muted. Switch account.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
UM.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Thank you Metal slug Mes. Call to the face, fear
the Beard undefeated. The NBA Cup is ours is what
I've been saying as of today. Unreal game. Thank you,
Gabriel kush Khan m Unreal game, James Harden forty point
(01:51):
triple double, zoo dominated, bogged in Bogdanovic back. I don't know.
He looked much healthier this game. Obviously. The timing showed
up kind of in the second half, which was great
to see. Still a really messy and gross game. This
game ended so awkwardly, I guess for lack of a
(02:16):
better term, but they got it done. I don't know, man,
this team is in This is a this is an
interesting year to be a Clippers fan. Right, So here's
the other part of it. Yeah, it's two OT against
the MAVs. We needed the win. It's rough that it
(02:38):
had to come in this fashion. For sure. We don't
have to put that. We don't have to put that
completely out of the picture. But they needed the win.
I feel you on you better stop it, but they
they needed the win. We'll take what we can get.
I so I don't know if we're turning the corner.
(03:00):
Raymond Nassar, thank you for the super chat saying turning
the corner. I don't know about turning the corner. We
needed the w. I think for how the Clippers have played,
we shouldn't look any further ahead than fifteen seconds. They're
gonna play a Celtics team who hasn't played since Wednesday
(03:20):
on Sunday. Yeah, so, I mean James James Harden was phenomenal.
It was. There was a stretch where in the second
quarter things went so bad with the bench, And we're
gonna talk about the bench because they were super rough
for the second quarter, specifically two guys, Chris Paul and Lopez.
(03:44):
We're not good. Stump forty two. Thank you for the
super chat classic Clippers game. Yes, this is where we're at.
We are a stressful team. If we lost, things would
have been a goddamn nightmare. If we lost, things would
have been a damn nightmare. Ask you where Adam Oilson.
Adam Aillson's probably on Clipperstock. I would go to Clipperstock
(04:08):
if you want to talk to Adam, but I think
he'll pop in here. Yeah. That was a crazy mint
off building block for the Clips, though, we'll take that.
The refs were rough tonight. I think the refs the
Clippers had to use two reviews for two plays that
were not should not have been reviewed, which was frustrating.
(04:31):
Shout out to James Harden shout out to of Vitza Zubots,
who people have kind of turned the cold shoulder to
have eatsa Zoobots. This year he had twenty seven and eleven.
It was great to see. The turnovers were a little
rough from Zoo. I think that's fair. Five turnovers is rough,
and the only other really scoring punch was bogged in
(04:54):
and Derek Jones Junior. Bogden played thirty seven minutes and
him be being good at the two guard is so
important for the Clippers. Bogie, I'm so happy the Clippers won.
The forty point triple double is amazing. We needed Zoo
to have twenty and plus ten. Bogie getting this rhythm
back and being able to play some productive shooting guard
(05:15):
minutes and initiate the pick and roll with Zoo, which
he did well tonight, is the biggest thing to hopefully
continue from this game. I think if Bogie, obviously we're
not gonna get fifty seven percent shooting from Bogie every
single night, but if we can get the confidence, uh
(05:38):
the decisiveness and the ability to take some of that
pressure off James Harden, that is huge for the Clippers.
Bogie having this night is fantastic for the Clippers in
the long run. Yeah, Zoo has gained some confidence. He
blocked the shit out of a shot late, which was awesome.
That was one of the bad calls that the ref's
(06:00):
hat that was really frustrating. The Bogey Zoo connection is
very real. We saw it. Even when Bogey was playing poorly,
he was still able to kind of get Zoo the ball,
which which was really cool to see. So yeah, shout
out to Bogden. The broadcast did mention that Bogden has
(06:22):
been wearing a sleeve on his elbow in practice, so
I wonder as we see he said he's not wearing
it during games because he's not comfortable with it. So
I'm wondering maybe we're gonna see just some up and
down games from Bogee. I think right now because of
the elbow issue. Again, he has to wear a sleeve
in practice. So we had a good game today. They're
(06:43):
going to play a super fresh Celtics team on Sunday.
Let's maybe have some grace for Bogey as he works
through this elbow injury. But the rhythm looks back. The
rhythm looks back for Bogey, which is great. It was awesome.
Kawhi traveled. We love to see that chat chat. Not
(07:04):
forgetting that James Harden was so good. His first overtime
period was unreal. I don't want to sweep under the
rug what what James Harden did tonight, because it was
it was phenomenal. They needed it all. The last two
Clippers wins have been hard attacks. It was NBA cut
(07:26):
buzzer beater versus the Peals, and then a fifty one
minute triple double from James Harden, as Lomery just pointed out,
which is incredible. Yeah, I will say I was so
annoyed that D'Angelo Russell killed us off the bench. That
was brutal. The Clippers blew a double digit lead. There
(07:48):
was some rough stuff this game, for sure. The bench
dug a hole in the second. There's also something that
I've noticed this year, and this is maybe me just nitpicking,
and I understand that the Clippers have had so many
delay of game fouls this year. I looked it up
(08:09):
and they've had at least six through like these first
eleven games. They had two against the Thunder, they had
one tonight. I just think it's weird, it's annoying. I
wasn't hyped on that tonight. I was like, why does
this keep happening? Brook Lopez and Chris Paul were or
(08:29):
sorry not Chris Paul, brook Lopez and Jordan Miller little
rough tonight Chris Paul got the d NP. That's just
where we're at. It sucks. But if he's not viable
right now, that Mexican Nara that's their user name, said,
can we talk about Sanders played great tonight? They are
(08:50):
referencing Kobe Sanders. Kobe Sanders has something I don't know
if he played great. He went one for five. We
don't have to say he played great relative to what
his progress is. He knows how to play basketball, and
I don't mean that in like some like ironic way.
He knows how to play professional basketball, if that makes sense.
(09:11):
He has some fouling issues, there's some growing pains, but
like he was able to get to the rim and
get a whistle. His one bucket was a mid range bucket,
which you like to see. We know he can hit
the three. There was a point where off of a turnover,
he drove, drew three defenders found Bogie for a three,
and it was kind of in the It was in
(09:32):
the third when the Clippers were kind of getting shit going,
and I really that was a really awesome play. Kobe
Sanders is showing that he has something, which is awesome
to see. He's super confident. He's very confident. Yeah, I
was gonna say he was one for five. He wasn't
(09:53):
like he didn't like light it up. But he played.
He played good basketball. He played basketball at the Clippers
either U. Yeah, shout out Kobe Sanders. He was he
was awesome. Where was that NBA Cup? Yeah? Someone said,
is this the NBA Cup year? It might be. This
(10:13):
might be the year the Clippers win the NBA Cup.
They're not gonna do it on point differential. They're not
getting out of the group stage for the point differential.
We know that for sure. Collins a bit of a
rough game in this one, but he was He was
plus seventeen. They needed his activity on the boards. Derek
Jones Junior not efficient from outside. The Clippers as a
(10:38):
team shot thirty, which wasn't very good. The Clipper like
this was this was an ugly game. This was an
ugly game. Anytime we're going to to ot against one
of the worst teams in the league, there were some
mistakes that were made along the way. Lopez man, I
(10:58):
don't know. Lopez has to hit like two threes to
be effective, which is which can be difficult in games
like this. For everyone who's been upset at ty Loo,
I think we have to give Tyler some credit in
this game. He went away for brook Lopez when it
was bad. He tried his best to stay away from
(11:18):
Jordan Miller when they didn't want to. You know, have
him play. The only guys with minus point differentials in
this game, and plus mind says, well, Kobe Sanders was
minus six, but I don't think anyone will be mad
with his thirteen minutes that he played. Brook Lopez was
minus thirteen. He only played nine minutes. He had to
play a little bit. Zuo played forty six, so he
needed some rest. And then Jordan Miller was minus eleven.
(11:41):
Those were the three guys who had a negative point differential.
I guess Betune was minus two, but he made a
great clutch play in doubt, so that was another good
call by TYLERU. So credit to Tylu for his rotations
in this game. We can't we can't all. You can't
all be mad at Tyler when he's supposedly ruining things,
and then this was nice. He made good decisions. We
(12:06):
needed the win. We love any win like we can't.
We just lost. We just lost so many in a row.
Uh do I does this make me feel any different
about the future? Not necessarily, Uh, but we needed this win.
(12:28):
No fu Charieve, thank you for the super chat. Tyler
needs to be fired. Rolling forward five guard lineups. Guys
are hurt. What are we supposed to do? Man? I
have to say of it if it's a super chat
for the most part anything, if you put in a
super chat, will say for the most part, who else
was gonna He played everybody. The only people who didn't
(12:50):
play today were Kobe Brown, Cam Christie and Chris Paul.
The Cam Christian one's a little interesting. The cam Christie one,
I don't know. He felt like he liked his guys.
I think again, we're all happy with Kobe Sanders minutes.
Even though he went one for five. He showed something there.
(13:13):
I don't know how to pronounce your use your name,
but they're saying, speak for yourself. I don't love any wins.
Fair game recognized game can't be upset at that if
you're just joining us, Thanks for hanging out. The Clippers,
give us a bunch of free basketball, and beat the
MAVs by six. If you're listening to this, I'm gonna
(13:34):
put this on audio. After this game, you can come
hang out with us at YouTube dot Accomplished at Clippers Podcast. Yeah, okay,
it would have been cool to see Cam go at
Max Christie. Cam can say Cam's gonna talk shit to
Max Christie about Zoo blocking the hell out of his shot,
(13:57):
and then Max Christy will be like, you didn't play.
So that feels kind of rough for just joining us.
I mean, James Harden forty point triple double, Alvitza Zubats
twenty seven and eleven, Bogie got his groove back. We
hope this was a great game. We're gonna need a
(14:19):
similar effort against the Celtics on Sunday. Yeah, I mean
there there was There were bad spots in this game too.
Max Skywalker saying Bogey did well but still found way
too much and lost the ball off. And yeah, you
go to double ot against the twenty five to twenty
six maps, there's gonna be some mistakes for sure. Bogie
(14:43):
actually only had one turnover also, so I don't know
if we can say he lost the ball. I was
Adam not doing a live right now? Yeah, I say
he's on the radio. Adam's definitely on the radio. Adam
is doing his real job, which is which is the
(15:05):
radio I had I did check out. That's a good
call though. Shout out Ali Bolik for being worried for
Adam Oslin. I don't think so. That's been kind of
a hot topic. I don't think they're gonna make it trouser.
J Slacks saying currently pregnant on trading these young guys
after raising their value by giving them minutes. It's been
(15:26):
one game, and what's their value is not very high?
Like it's it's not very high. We don't have There's
so many other things to worry about, like the transition
defense and the turnovers. I think that's fine. This what
this concern doesn't matter, and I mean that respectfully. You
don't have to worry about this. There were some concerns
(15:50):
in this game. John Collins didn't look his best. He
turns the ball over a lot, which is really frustrating.
Him and Zoo actually combined for eight turnovers, which is
a lot, and Zuo had to assist John Collins had none,
so he does have to clean that up. This was
(16:10):
maybe his worst game is a Clipper one of but
some progress that he made. He play well. Derek Jones
Junior forty minutes. Again, at least he got into double digits.
There was only four guys in double digits this game,
and he was one of them they needed. I think
it was the third where he came up pretty clutch.
(16:31):
Just an insane, insane game. Kind of Uh, Justin Rousseau
with a great stat This is the second time in
a Viza Zubat's career that he's played an OT game
and posted at least twenty five to ten and was
a plus twenty five. Zoo was a plus twenty. That's insane.
(16:56):
Deflo saying would you trade Zoo and whoever for Giannis?
No man, No, I would. Yeah, well done, Cardiac Clips.
We did it, never a doubt. Uh, this one felt
(17:17):
I don't know if good is the right word, but
they got the win, which we needed a win. Yeah.
Max Skywalker pointing out this is not sustainable, could not
agree more fifteen minutes, which is way too many. No,
this win and again I'm very happy they got the win.
(17:39):
They broke the losing streak. This one doesn't change a
bunch in like this is a building block. We can
start some kind of run for the Clippers. They have
to go like twelve and two for things to start looking,
you know what I mean, like positive long run. The
(17:59):
nice thing that we saw in this game though, was
that Bogie might be turning or you know, hitting some
kind of upswing when it comes to initiating the offense
and handling the ball. That was nice to see. Chris
Dunn took too many threes, which was kind of a
product of some of the bad spacing late for the
(18:21):
Clippers for sure, but he was Okay, someone is saying
it there, I hope there. I'm being sarcastic that Jannis
harden Kui is the best tree in the NBA, who
is next to them, that they don't have enough games.
(18:43):
I don't know. This doesn't matter. I'm gonna take a
quick audio break and we're gonna talk about the Celtics
game on Sunday, because we do play the Celtics on Sunday.
If you're listening to this, there's gonna be a quick
ad break. If you're watching this on YouTube dot com
for Zacliper's podcast there won't be quick ad break and
then talking Celtics on Sunday in three two one, all right,
(19:04):
we're back. Thank you for hanging out on this live.
Any updates on Kawhi No, unclear if he will play
on Sunday versus the Celtics. Don't. I didn't mean that
no as dismissive as it sounded, but yeah, unclear. They're
monitoring it. He is. He did travel with the team,
(19:27):
which is good. We love to see that again. The
Celtics will have had like three days rest for this game,
which I have an issue with. How does this schedule happen?
How do the Celtics play who? I would love this
(19:48):
Celtics played on Wednesday and they don't play again until Sunday.
That's never happened in the history of the Clippers. I'm
sure it has, but it doesn't feel like it hasn't
reason history. It's kind of both. I don't like that
the Celtics are not high scoring. They take the third
most field goal attempts per game in the league, though,
(20:13):
which is a little worrisome when you look at the
Clippers defense. We don't necessarily love that they foul a lot,
they don't turn the ball over and they give up
the second fewest points per game, So there's some barriers
to the Clippers getting a win here, obviously. Yes, aside
(20:35):
from the hairspray incidents, Jalen Brown has been in has
had a great start to the season, which is really
difficult for the Clippers to deal with. It's very annoying, Philadelphia,
Thank you. Copra gets three days off too. I don't
like this. I don't like that at all. That's lame
(20:56):
as hell. That's not how it should be. I really hope. Yeah,
this is a tough stretch. Uh, this is not an
ideal stretch. This is the back to back. They gotta
split this. I don't know if they will. This is
(21:19):
the first back to back of the seven game road trip.
They have another back to back on the twenty second.
In the twenty third we talked about in the last episode,
very frustrating Liso saying we're on pace for seventy four
and eight. I'm not sure how that math works at all.
I was a history major, but I don't think this
(21:40):
is what we're on pace for. I would love for
that to be the pace, but I don't think that's
what we're on pace for folks? William Updyke, what's up, buddy?
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Dad Clipper's first way in November? Let's go.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
We did it. It took two weeks, we got the dub.
How are you feeling after a scintillating double overtime win
against one of the worst teams in the week?
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Would you take an NBA Cup championship?
Speaker 4 (22:10):
How'd you feel this year if I could get you
into an NBA Cup championship? No playoff birth? How you
feeling about that?
Speaker 1 (22:22):
No, not even playing, no playoff birth?
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Maybe you make the play in. You're just you're not
playing the one seed or the two seed this season.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
As of nine to eighteen pm November fourteen, and being
two to zero in the NBA Cup, I would take
I'd take an NBA Cup chip.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
And I'm giving you financing. What can I do to
get you?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
What does that mean?
Speaker 4 (22:54):
What can I do to get you into this NBA
Cup today?
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Who do we have to play an next thing? I
mean we're in second because our point differential is bad.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Let's go, baby, Let's go baby.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
I'd take it. Yeah, I would take NBA.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
It's in the West.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
No first round picks in site, first round pick.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
In twenty thirty baby.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Someone mentioned They asked, they said, is this our NBA
Cup year?
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Honestly, the Emerus Cup is the thinking man. It's Larry O. B.
I've always said that. I've always said that.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I'm calling it the NBA Cup. I can't call it
the Emirates Cup. I'm not. They were already on the
foul pull at Dodger Stadium. They don't need any more promo.
Oh have you seen this rest conspiracy that we've uncovered?
No bring up. So the Celtics are gonna be there.
They play us on Sunday. They will not have played sleepy.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
I could use a little rest conspiracy over.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
They will have not played since Wednesday, so they have
a free day is off and then we play the
seventy six ers the very next day and they will
have had three days off as well.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Mhmm.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
This feels pointed.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Have the Clippers are not getting younger?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Are they using any kind of serums?
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Do?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Are they familiar with red light therapy? Because I hear
good things about red light therapy. I don't know what
it means. I haven't done the research.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
How'd you feel about the CP three D N P.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Valid.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
I'm much I'm much more worse. I'm much more worried
about the Christy d NP.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
That is kind of weird.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
That savior of our season. That guy needs some reps.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
I think I think Kobe Sanders has taken that georch.
We got two guys named Kobe. One of them has
gotta be good. One of them has to be good.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Uh, this looks like bubble flip to you.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
A little bit? What is it? Salami coast salami ting? Uh,
Warblade saying, I can't believe it took DOUBLET to be
the maps seem that putrid welcome to twenty five twenty
six Clippers basketball.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
To be fair, we can't stop ship.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Yeah, in our defense that help were very bad.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
In the clutch. Actually, at any time, we can't stop ship.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Yeah, we won turnovers.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Finally, let Zu lose. Goddamn baby.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
I would feel like I do feel like Zoo had
like a coast to coast finger roll and one in
the second right after the bench blew our fifteen point
lead and one.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
At one point I'm pretty sure yelled juice.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Yep, he said jellyfam and he did a he did
the layup.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
But I think that's what fired the team up. Oh
should Tyler? I'm back on board. Evert's everts copper bus, dude,
my box. Should Tyler or Lawrence Frank be fired? Probably
not yet anyway.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Bradley Beal should be fired? U Brook Lopez should should
let me hold onto a couple of bucks?
Speaker 1 (26:32):
He owes you?
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Yeah, Brook, Kawhi Leonard, don't even get me started.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
Kawhi waiting request to that guy. Come on, he's got
the cash. Are there any postgame quotes yet? Clippers need
to trade for Yabo? Is a good take on.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Uh, I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I feel like an idiot. I thought Brook Lopez was
going to be the best backup center to.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
In his career.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I mean, it's it's been kind of rough. It's it's
been difficult.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
He's slow, dude and old.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
He's very slow. He's a turnstile on defense. If he's
not hitting threes, you get nights tonight where it's like
nine minutes and he's minus thirteen and is the box
score I would say matches the eye test with Brook,
like it doesn't always do that with players.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
But then circle, maybe.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
You know what I'm talking about. Oh, are we concerned?
About John Collins. I guess he's shooting thirty from three right.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
In that John John Collins was a nice extra piece
to have, and he now needs to produce like a
arder for a team that hopes to avoid the plane.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
So yes, we should be concerned.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
It's a lot of responsibility everyone.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
But a fucking sick one. I will still say he
seems like a chill guy.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Well, look all the guys seem like chill guys. We're
not we're not talking, they're off the court demeanor.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Seems like a chill guy except for being a Disney adult.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Sorry, sure, that's completely fair. Il Like liber still had
a funny tweet about John Collins. He said Collins would
benefit from simplifying things strictly play finishing and catching and shooting.
It's not either of those things. Move the ball. He
can't dribble. Yeah, he cannot put No.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
And that's the thing too, is like for as discombopulated
as things have looked thus far, you can kind of
forgive it. You can kind of forgive it given that
it was set up with like two prominent players in play.
You know, hopefully Kawi is returning to the lineup soon.
(29:05):
We know Beale is out now, so we can kind
of reassess and readjust. But I think that there are
still positions, Like we've seen John Collins get this starting nod,
we've seen him, we've seen him playing time increase.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Now.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
I do think there are positions that we can.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Still put him in to maximize what he can actually
do on the floor versus trying to make him fit
something new, Like I don't think, no, I don't think
he's going to be better at moving the ball. I
don't think that he's gonna like establish a new skill set,
and to be fair for a player where he's at
in his career, that's not the right thing.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
To should happening.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Is yeah, No, The thing is is like we now
know what we have as far as a squad.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
I mean, what did we end up playing tonight? Nine guys,
ten guys something like that.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
But anyways, you can kind of start to strip it down.
And I know that that sounds silly given how bad
things have already looked, but it's time to retool and say,
simplify around what you have, because I do think that
that is something the Clippers have been really effective at
in the shorthanded seasons. Is that they are able to
(30:10):
strip things down, get to basics, establish something. Yes, And
I think I think that that. I think that even
having some sort of clarity, even though it's not the
answer that we want, could be positive in the way
that it's like it's not up in the air anymore.
We're we're not designing sets or running plays around the guys.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
That aren't going to be here anymore.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
We can kind of simplify things down, throw out what
doesn't work, get back to basics, and at least take
home this NBA Cup.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
I love that that's the outright goal at this point. Yeah,
people were talking about because Collins played the five A
bite with the Hawks, and I'm like, if his passing
is this rough right now with this Clippers team, he
shouldn't be.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
At My thing is is why do you Vita zubats
Is When this team is healthy, our second or third best.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Player, which we'll talk about, that's.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Why do you want him? Not being on the floor?
Would be my.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
To if Lopez is unplayable, play Zoo the whole game,
play just play it. Simply play him forty eight minutes,
you know, Yeah, give Yannick some time. Yanic looks like
a freak out there in a good way. Why not? Yeah,
no capitulation. It's the It's Cup season. Throw the Lary
(31:35):
O'Brien out of your brain. We're not gonna win that.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
This is.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Okay, it's more important, it's more intellectual. It's more of
a conversational. Oh all right, do you have anything else
you want to add about the game against the Celtics
on Sunday. I don't feel great about it.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
No, I don't need The Celtics are still beating ass
with the skeleton crew.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
But you know what.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
I think we got this. We got one. We got
our first. You know, the hardest one is the first
one in the month. The hardest win is the first
win of any given month.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
At the NBA season, it's all gravy. It's all gravy
from there on out.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
We're one of those on the seven game road trip.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
You are who you are when you get your first
win of the month, I believe, is what coach k said.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
And we are a team that needs two overtimes to
beat the Bats.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Well, you know they got some good.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
They got They got Cooper Black here. All right, we're
gonna get out of here. Oh that was a good point.
There were so many fouls in this game, and the
refs were sloppy as hell. In this game, we had
to use two reviews. It was bullshit. Will Oh your
take on this? I griped on this earlier hand.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
On rests because of the shutdown. So they got they're
just used to blowing the whistle every time they think
it train's supposed to be arriving.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Okay, the Clippers have had six delay of game fouls
this season. Does that feel like a lot to you?
Speaker 3 (33:20):
I feel like it's not enough.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Okay, we're getting it is enough. I would love for
it to stop. Uh yeah, things are not ideal right now.
No one is pretending that this that this win is
some kind of corner turning thing. We just needed a win.
Here's the splitting this back to back. We're probably gonna
(33:45):
did that. He's old ship that rules. We needed that.
We're gonna have a full episode for y'all next week.
Go listen to Adam at Clippers Talk. Will Where can

hanging out, and as always, let's go click.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Shut them up, Shut them up.
What is going on? Clippers fans, Welcome to a postgame
victory hang. It has been two weeks since we've been
able to do one of these. The Clippers get a
win in double over time against the Mavericks, thanks in
a gigantic part to James Harden having the first forty
(00:33):
point triple double in the history of the Clippers. HM.
It feels good to take a sip after a win.
I am Chuck Buckler. I think Adam Ods is gonna
hop on. Will Updike should be here too. This is
a Clips and Dip live happy hour hang. We usually
do these on Friday no matter what. But yeah, check
(00:53):
us out at Clippers dot com, slash at ur YouTube
dot complash at Clippers podcast for those listening. I'll put
this out on on later clips. Get the dub Baby
feels great. Uh. Raymond Nasser saying Chuck, I'm drunk. Am
I actually muted? I don't know if that's true. UM,
(01:20):
I want to double check if I'm actually muted. Switch account.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
UM.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Thank you Metal slug Mes. Call to the face, fear
the Beard undefeated. The NBA Cup is ours is what
I've been saying as of today. Unreal game. Thank you,
Gabriel kush Khan m Unreal game, James Harden forty point
(01:51):
triple double, zoo dominated, bogged in Bogdanovic back. I don't know.
He looked much healthier this game. Obviously. The timing showed
up kind of in the second half, which was great
to see. Still a really messy and gross game. This
game ended so awkwardly, I guess for lack of a
(02:16):
better term, but they got it done. I don't know, man,
this team is in This is a this is an
interesting year to be a Clippers fan. Right, So here's
the other part of it. Yeah, it's two OT against
the MAVs. We needed the win. It's rough that it
(02:38):
had to come in this fashion. For sure. We don't
have to put that. We don't have to put that
completely out of the picture. But they needed the win.
I feel you on you better stop it, but they
they needed the win. We'll take what we can get.
I so I don't know if we're turning the corner.
(03:00):
Raymond Nassar, thank you for the super chat saying turning
the corner. I don't know about turning the corner. We
needed the w. I think for how the Clippers have played,
we shouldn't look any further ahead than fifteen seconds. They're
gonna play a Celtics team who hasn't played since Wednesday
(03:20):
on Sunday. Yeah, so, I mean James James Harden was phenomenal.
It was. There was a stretch where in the second
quarter things went so bad with the bench, And we're
gonna talk about the bench because they were super rough
for the second quarter, specifically two guys, Chris Paul and Lopez.
(03:44):
We're not good. Stump forty two. Thank you for the
super chat classic Clippers game. Yes, this is where we're at.
We are a stressful team. If we lost, things would
have been a goddamn nightmare. If we lost, things would
have been a damn nightmare. Ask you where Adam Oilson.
Adam Aillson's probably on Clipperstock. I would go to Clipperstock
(04:08):
if you want to talk to Adam, but I think
he'll pop in here. Yeah. That was a crazy mint
off building block for the Clips, though, we'll take that.
The refs were rough tonight. I think the refs the
Clippers had to use two reviews for two plays that
were not should not have been reviewed, which was frustrating.
(04:31):
Shout out to James Harden shout out to of Vitza Zubots,
who people have kind of turned the cold shoulder to
have eatsa Zoobots. This year he had twenty seven and eleven.
It was great to see. The turnovers were a little
rough from Zoo. I think that's fair. Five turnovers is rough,
and the only other really scoring punch was bogged in
(04:54):
and Derek Jones Junior. Bogden played thirty seven minutes and
him be being good at the two guard is so
important for the Clippers. Bogie, I'm so happy the Clippers won.
The forty point triple double is amazing. We needed Zoo
to have twenty and plus ten. Bogie getting this rhythm
back and being able to play some productive shooting guard
(05:15):
minutes and initiate the pick and roll with Zoo, which
he did well tonight, is the biggest thing to hopefully
continue from this game. I think if Bogie, obviously we're
not gonna get fifty seven percent shooting from Bogie every
single night, but if we can get the confidence, uh
(05:38):
the decisiveness and the ability to take some of that
pressure off James Harden, that is huge for the Clippers.
Bogie having this night is fantastic for the Clippers in
the long run. Yeah, Zoo has gained some confidence. He
blocked the shit out of a shot late, which was awesome.
That was one of the bad calls that the ref's
(06:00):
hat that was really frustrating. The Bogey Zoo connection is
very real. We saw it. Even when Bogey was playing poorly,
he was still able to kind of get Zoo the ball,
which which was really cool to see. So yeah, shout
out to Bogden. The broadcast did mention that Bogden has
(06:22):
been wearing a sleeve on his elbow in practice, so
I wonder as we see he said he's not wearing
it during games because he's not comfortable with it. So
I'm wondering maybe we're gonna see just some up and
down games from Bogee. I think right now because of
the elbow issue. Again, he has to wear a sleeve
in practice. So we had a good game today. They're
(06:43):
going to play a super fresh Celtics team on Sunday.
Let's maybe have some grace for Bogey as he works
through this elbow injury. But the rhythm looks back. The
rhythm looks back for Bogey, which is great. It was awesome.
Kawhi traveled. We love to see that chat chat. Not
(07:04):
forgetting that James Harden was so good. His first overtime
period was unreal. I don't want to sweep under the
rug what what James Harden did tonight, because it was
it was phenomenal. They needed it all. The last two
Clippers wins have been hard attacks. It was NBA cut
(07:26):
buzzer beater versus the Peals, and then a fifty one
minute triple double from James Harden, as Lomery just pointed out,
which is incredible. Yeah, I will say I was so
annoyed that D'Angelo Russell killed us off the bench. That
was brutal. The Clippers blew a double digit lead. There
(07:48):
was some rough stuff this game, for sure. The bench
dug a hole in the second. There's also something that
I've noticed this year, and this is maybe me just nitpicking,
and I understand that the Clippers have had so many
delay of game fouls this year. I looked it up
(08:09):
and they've had at least six through like these first
eleven games. They had two against the Thunder, they had
one tonight. I just think it's weird, it's annoying. I
wasn't hyped on that tonight. I was like, why does
this keep happening? Brook Lopez and Chris Paul were or
(08:29):
sorry not Chris Paul, brook Lopez and Jordan Miller little
rough tonight Chris Paul got the d NP. That's just
where we're at. It sucks. But if he's not viable
right now, that Mexican Nara that's their user name, said,
can we talk about Sanders played great tonight? They are
(08:50):
referencing Kobe Sanders. Kobe Sanders has something I don't know
if he played great. He went one for five. We
don't have to say he played great relative to what
his progress is. He knows how to play basketball, and
I don't mean that in like some like ironic way.
He knows how to play professional basketball, if that makes sense.
(09:11):
He has some fouling issues, there's some growing pains, but
like he was able to get to the rim and
get a whistle. His one bucket was a mid range bucket,
which you like to see. We know he can hit
the three. There was a point where off of a turnover,
he drove, drew three defenders found Bogie for a three,
and it was kind of in the It was in
(09:32):
the third when the Clippers were kind of getting shit going,
and I really that was a really awesome play. Kobe
Sanders is showing that he has something, which is awesome
to see. He's super confident. He's very confident. Yeah, I
was gonna say he was one for five. He wasn't
(09:53):
like he didn't like light it up. But he played.
He played good basketball. He played basketball at the Clippers
either U. Yeah, shout out Kobe Sanders. He was he
was awesome. Where was that NBA Cup? Yeah? Someone said,
is this the NBA Cup year? It might be. This
(10:13):
might be the year the Clippers win the NBA Cup.
They're not gonna do it on point differential. They're not
getting out of the group stage for the point differential.
We know that for sure. Collins a bit of a
rough game in this one, but he was He was
plus seventeen. They needed his activity on the boards. Derek
Jones Junior not efficient from outside. The Clippers as a
(10:38):
team shot thirty, which wasn't very good. The Clipper like
this was this was an ugly game. This was an
ugly game. Anytime we're going to to ot against one
of the worst teams in the league, there were some
mistakes that were made along the way. Lopez man, I
(10:58):
don't know. Lopez has to hit like two threes to
be effective, which is which can be difficult in games
like this. For everyone who's been upset at ty Loo,
I think we have to give Tyler some credit in
this game. He went away for brook Lopez when it
was bad. He tried his best to stay away from
(11:18):
Jordan Miller when they didn't want to. You know, have
him play. The only guys with minus point differentials in
this game, and plus mind says, well, Kobe Sanders was
minus six, but I don't think anyone will be mad
with his thirteen minutes that he played. Brook Lopez was
minus thirteen. He only played nine minutes. He had to
play a little bit. Zuo played forty six, so he
needed some rest. And then Jordan Miller was minus eleven.
(11:41):
Those were the three guys who had a negative point differential.
I guess Betune was minus two, but he made a
great clutch play in doubt, so that was another good
call by TYLERU. So credit to Tylu for his rotations
in this game. We can't we can't all. You can't
all be mad at Tyler when he's supposedly ruining things,
and then this was nice. He made good decisions. We
(12:06):
needed the win. We love any win like we can't.
We just lost. We just lost so many in a row.
Uh do I does this make me feel any different
about the future? Not necessarily, Uh, but we needed this win.
(12:28):
No fu Charieve, thank you for the super chat. Tyler
needs to be fired. Rolling forward five guard lineups. Guys
are hurt. What are we supposed to do? Man? I
have to say of it if it's a super chat
for the most part anything, if you put in a
super chat, will say for the most part, who else
was gonna He played everybody. The only people who didn't
(12:50):
play today were Kobe Brown, Cam Christie and Chris Paul.
The Cam Christian one's a little interesting. The cam Christie one,
I don't know. He felt like he liked his guys.
I think again, we're all happy with Kobe Sanders minutes.
Even though he went one for five. He showed something there.
(13:13):
I don't know how to pronounce your use your name,
but they're saying, speak for yourself. I don't love any wins.
Fair game recognized game can't be upset at that if
you're just joining us, Thanks for hanging out. The Clippers,
give us a bunch of free basketball, and beat the
MAVs by six. If you're listening to this, I'm gonna
(13:34):
put this on audio. After this game, you can come
hang out with us at YouTube dot Accomplished at Clippers Podcast. Yeah, okay,
it would have been cool to see Cam go at
Max Christie. Cam can say Cam's gonna talk shit to
Max Christie about Zoo blocking the hell out of his shot,
(13:57):
and then Max Christy will be like, you didn't play.
So that feels kind of rough for just joining us.
I mean, James Harden forty point triple double, Alvitza Zubats
twenty seven and eleven, Bogie got his groove back. We
hope this was a great game. We're gonna need a
(14:19):
similar effort against the Celtics on Sunday. Yeah, I mean
there there was There were bad spots in this game too.
Max Skywalker saying Bogey did well but still found way
too much and lost the ball off. And yeah, you
go to double ot against the twenty five to twenty
six maps, there's gonna be some mistakes for sure. Bogie
(14:43):
actually only had one turnover also, so I don't know
if we can say he lost the ball. I was
Adam not doing a live right now? Yeah, I say
he's on the radio. Adam's definitely on the radio. Adam
is doing his real job, which is which is the
(15:05):
radio I had I did check out. That's a good
call though. Shout out Ali Bolik for being worried for
Adam Oslin. I don't think so. That's been kind of
a hot topic. I don't think they're gonna make it trouser.
J Slacks saying currently pregnant on trading these young guys
after raising their value by giving them minutes. It's been
(15:26):
one game, and what's their value is not very high?
Like it's it's not very high. We don't have There's
so many other things to worry about, like the transition
defense and the turnovers. I think that's fine. This what
this concern doesn't matter, and I mean that respectfully. You
don't have to worry about this. There were some concerns
(15:50):
in this game. John Collins didn't look his best. He
turns the ball over a lot, which is really frustrating.
Him and Zoo actually combined for eight turnovers, which is
a lot, and Zuo had to assist John Collins had none,
so he does have to clean that up. This was
(16:10):
maybe his worst game is a Clipper one of but
some progress that he made. He play well. Derek Jones
Junior forty minutes. Again, at least he got into double digits.
There was only four guys in double digits this game,
and he was one of them they needed. I think
it was the third where he came up pretty clutch.
(16:31):
Just an insane, insane game. Kind of Uh, Justin Rousseau
with a great stat This is the second time in
a Viza Zubat's career that he's played an OT game
and posted at least twenty five to ten and was
a plus twenty five. Zoo was a plus twenty. That's insane.
(16:56):
Deflo saying would you trade Zoo and whoever for Giannis?
No man, No, I would. Yeah, well done, Cardiac Clips.
We did it, never a doubt. Uh, this one felt
(17:17):
I don't know if good is the right word, but
they got the win, which we needed a win. Yeah.
Max Skywalker pointing out this is not sustainable, could not
agree more fifteen minutes, which is way too many. No,
this win and again I'm very happy they got the win.
(17:39):
They broke the losing streak. This one doesn't change a
bunch in like this is a building block. We can
start some kind of run for the Clippers. They have
to go like twelve and two for things to start looking,
you know what I mean, like positive long run. The
(17:59):
nice thing that we saw in this game though, was
that Bogie might be turning or you know, hitting some
kind of upswing when it comes to initiating the offense
and handling the ball. That was nice to see. Chris
Dunn took too many threes, which was kind of a
product of some of the bad spacing late for the
(18:21):
Clippers for sure, but he was Okay, someone is saying
it there, I hope there. I'm being sarcastic that Jannis
harden Kui is the best tree in the NBA, who
is next to them, that they don't have enough games.
(18:43):
I don't know. This doesn't matter. I'm gonna take a
quick audio break and we're gonna talk about the Celtics
game on Sunday, because we do play the Celtics on Sunday.
If you're listening to this, there's gonna be a quick
ad break. If you're watching this on YouTube dot com
for Zacliper's podcast there won't be quick ad break and
then talking Celtics on Sunday in three two one, all right,
(19:04):
we're back. Thank you for hanging out on this live.
Any updates on Kawhi No, unclear if he will play
on Sunday versus the Celtics. Don't. I didn't mean that
no as dismissive as it sounded, but yeah, unclear. They're
monitoring it. He is. He did travel with the team,
(19:27):
which is good. We love to see that again. The
Celtics will have had like three days rest for this game,
which I have an issue with. How does this schedule happen?
How do the Celtics play who? I would love this
(19:48):
Celtics played on Wednesday and they don't play again until Sunday.
That's never happened in the history of the Clippers. I'm
sure it has, but it doesn't feel like it hasn't
reason history. It's kind of both. I don't like that
the Celtics are not high scoring. They take the third
most field goal attempts per game in the league, though,
(20:13):
which is a little worrisome when you look at the
Clippers defense. We don't necessarily love that they foul a lot,
they don't turn the ball over and they give up
the second fewest points per game, So there's some barriers
to the Clippers getting a win here, obviously. Yes, aside
(20:35):
from the hairspray incidents, Jalen Brown has been in has
had a great start to the season, which is really
difficult for the Clippers to deal with. It's very annoying, Philadelphia,
Thank you. Copra gets three days off too. I don't
like this. I don't like that at all. That's lame
(20:56):
as hell. That's not how it should be. I really hope. Yeah,
this is a tough stretch. Uh, this is not an
ideal stretch. This is the back to back. They gotta
split this. I don't know if they will. This is
(21:19):
the first back to back of the seven game road trip.
They have another back to back on the twenty second.
In the twenty third we talked about in the last episode,
very frustrating Liso saying we're on pace for seventy four
and eight. I'm not sure how that math works at all.
I was a history major, but I don't think this
(21:40):
is what we're on pace for. I would love for
that to be the pace, but I don't think that's
what we're on pace for folks? William Updyke, what's up, buddy?
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Dad Clipper's first way in November? Let's go.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
We did it. It took two weeks, we got the dub.
How are you feeling after a scintillating double overtime win
against one of the worst teams in the week?
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Would you take an NBA Cup championship?
Speaker 4 (22:10):
How'd you feel this year if I could get you
into an NBA Cup championship? No playoff birth? How you
feeling about that?
Speaker 1 (22:22):
No, not even playing, no playoff birth?
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Maybe you make the play in. You're just you're not
playing the one seed or the two seed this season.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
As of nine to eighteen pm November fourteen, and being
two to zero in the NBA Cup, I would take
I'd take an NBA Cup chip.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
And I'm giving you financing. What can I do to
get you?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
What does that mean?
Speaker 4 (22:54):
What can I do to get you into this NBA
Cup today?
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Who do we have to play an next thing? I
mean we're in second because our point differential is bad.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Let's go, baby, Let's go baby.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
I'd take it. Yeah, I would take NBA.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
It's in the West.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
No first round picks in site, first round pick.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
In twenty thirty baby.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Someone mentioned They asked, they said, is this our NBA
Cup year?
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Honestly, the Emerus Cup is the thinking man. It's Larry O. B.
I've always said that. I've always said that.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I'm calling it the NBA Cup. I can't call it
the Emirates Cup. I'm not. They were already on the
foul pull at Dodger Stadium. They don't need any more promo.
Oh have you seen this rest conspiracy that we've uncovered?
No bring up. So the Celtics are gonna be there.
They play us on Sunday. They will not have played sleepy.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
I could use a little rest conspiracy over.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
They will have not played since Wednesday, so they have
a free day is off and then we play the
seventy six ers the very next day and they will
have had three days off as well.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Mhmm.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
This feels pointed.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Have the Clippers are not getting younger?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Are they using any kind of serums?
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Do?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Are they familiar with red light therapy? Because I hear
good things about red light therapy. I don't know what
it means. I haven't done the research.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
How'd you feel about the CP three D N P.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Valid.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
I'm much I'm much more worse. I'm much more worried
about the Christy d NP.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
That is kind of weird.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
That savior of our season. That guy needs some reps.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
I think I think Kobe Sanders has taken that georch.
We got two guys named Kobe. One of them has
gotta be good. One of them has to be good.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Uh, this looks like bubble flip to you.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
A little bit? What is it? Salami coast salami ting? Uh,
Warblade saying, I can't believe it took DOUBLET to be
the maps seem that putrid welcome to twenty five twenty
six Clippers basketball.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
To be fair, we can't stop ship.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Yeah, in our defense that help were very bad.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
In the clutch. Actually, at any time, we can't stop ship.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Yeah, we won turnovers.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Finally, let Zu lose. Goddamn baby.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
I would feel like I do feel like Zoo had
like a coast to coast finger roll and one in
the second right after the bench blew our fifteen point
lead and one.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
At one point I'm pretty sure yelled juice.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Yep, he said jellyfam and he did a he did
the layup.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
But I think that's what fired the team up. Oh
should Tyler? I'm back on board. Evert's everts copper bus, dude,
my box. Should Tyler or Lawrence Frank be fired? Probably
not yet anyway.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Bradley Beal should be fired? U Brook Lopez should should
let me hold onto a couple of bucks?
Speaker 1 (26:32):
He owes you?
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Yeah, Brook, Kawhi Leonard, don't even get me started.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
Kawhi waiting request to that guy. Come on, he's got
the cash. Are there any postgame quotes yet? Clippers need
to trade for Yabo? Is a good take on.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Uh, I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I feel like an idiot. I thought Brook Lopez was
going to be the best backup center to.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
In his career.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I mean, it's it's been kind of rough. It's it's
been difficult.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
He's slow, dude and old.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
He's very slow. He's a turnstile on defense. If he's
not hitting threes, you get nights tonight where it's like
nine minutes and he's minus thirteen and is the box
score I would say matches the eye test with Brook,
like it doesn't always do that with players.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
But then circle, maybe.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
You know what I'm talking about. Oh, are we concerned?
About John Collins. I guess he's shooting thirty from three right.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
In that John John Collins was a nice extra piece
to have, and he now needs to produce like a
arder for a team that hopes to avoid the plane.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
So yes, we should be concerned.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
It's a lot of responsibility everyone.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
But a fucking sick one. I will still say he
seems like a chill guy.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Well, look all the guys seem like chill guys. We're
not we're not talking, they're off the court demeanor.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Seems like a chill guy except for being a Disney adult.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Sorry, sure, that's completely fair. Il Like liber still had
a funny tweet about John Collins. He said Collins would
benefit from simplifying things strictly play finishing and catching and shooting.
It's not either of those things. Move the ball. He
can't dribble. Yeah, he cannot put No.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
And that's the thing too, is like for as discombopulated
as things have looked thus far, you can kind of
forgive it. You can kind of forgive it given that
it was set up with like two prominent players in play.
You know, hopefully Kawi is returning to the lineup soon.
(29:05):
We know Beale is out now, so we can kind
of reassess and readjust. But I think that there are
still positions, Like we've seen John Collins get this starting nod,
we've seen him, we've seen him playing time increase.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Now.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
I do think there are positions that we can.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Still put him in to maximize what he can actually
do on the floor versus trying to make him fit
something new, Like I don't think, no, I don't think
he's going to be better at moving the ball. I
don't think that he's gonna like establish a new skill set,
and to be fair for a player where he's at
in his career, that's not the right thing.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
To should happening.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Is yeah, No, The thing is is like we now
know what we have as far as a squad.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
I mean, what did we end up playing tonight? Nine guys,
ten guys something like that.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
But anyways, you can kind of start to strip it down.
And I know that that sounds silly given how bad
things have already looked, but it's time to retool and say,
simplify around what you have, because I do think that
that is something the Clippers have been really effective at
in the shorthanded seasons. Is that they are able to
(30:10):
strip things down, get to basics, establish something. Yes, And
I think I think that that. I think that even
having some sort of clarity, even though it's not the
answer that we want, could be positive in the way
that it's like it's not up in the air anymore.
We're we're not designing sets or running plays around the guys.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
That aren't going to be here anymore.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
We can kind of simplify things down, throw out what
doesn't work, get back to basics, and at least take
home this NBA Cup.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
I love that that's the outright goal at this point. Yeah,
people were talking about because Collins played the five A
bite with the Hawks, and I'm like, if his passing
is this rough right now with this Clippers team, he
shouldn't be.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
At My thing is is why do you Vita zubats
Is When this team is healthy, our second or third best.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Player, which we'll talk about, that's.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Why do you want him? Not being on the floor?
Would be my.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
To if Lopez is unplayable, play Zoo the whole game,
play just play it. Simply play him forty eight minutes,
you know, Yeah, give Yannick some time. Yanic looks like
a freak out there in a good way. Why not? Yeah,
no capitulation. It's the It's Cup season. Throw the Lary
(31:35):
O'Brien out of your brain. We're not gonna win that.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
This is.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Okay, it's more important, it's more intellectual. It's more of
a conversational. Oh all right, do you have anything else
you want to add about the game against the Celtics
on Sunday. I don't feel great about it.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
No, I don't need The Celtics are still beating ass
with the skeleton crew.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
But you know what.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
I think we got this. We got one. We got
our first. You know, the hardest one is the first
one in the month. The hardest win is the first
win of any given month.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
At the NBA season, it's all gravy. It's all gravy
from there on out.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
We're one of those on the seven game road trip.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
You are who you are when you get your first
win of the month, I believe, is what coach k said.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
And we are a team that needs two overtimes to
beat the Bats.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Well, you know they got some good.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
They got They got Cooper Black here. All right, we're
gonna get out of here. Oh that was a good point.
There were so many fouls in this game, and the
refs were sloppy as hell. In this game, we had
to use two reviews. It was bullshit. Will Oh your
take on this? I griped on this earlier hand.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
On rests because of the shutdown. So they got they're
just used to blowing the whistle every time they think
it train's supposed to be arriving.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Okay, the Clippers have had six delay of game fouls
this season. Does that feel like a lot to you?
Speaker 3 (33:20):
I feel like it's not enough.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Okay, we're getting it is enough. I would love for
it to stop. Uh yeah, things are not ideal right now.
No one is pretending that this that this win is
some kind of corner turning thing. We just needed a win.
Here's the splitting this back to back. We're probably gonna
(33:45):
did that. He's old ship that rules. We needed that.
We're gonna have a full episode for y'all next week.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
