Should we be optimistic about the Clippers?

Fri, 18 Jun 2021 00:29:37 -0000

The Clippers just lost Kawhi Leonard for the rest of the second round, and potentially longer, and yet strangely, it's a time for optimism.

So your hosts Blake Harris and Sabreena Merchant take the opportunity to celebrate this team: their depth and their resilience, and the joy they've provided when they've hit the most adverse circumstances.

They then move on to the Clippers, who lost three of their last four games before the break, but who Rob and Louis remain relatively unconcerned about in the short term. However, the guys are worried about the Clippers' injuries, and speculate that the Marcus Morris acquisition was more of a hedge against a Paul George injury. They then wrap about by handing out some disrespect, and giving brief predictions on the rest of the 2020 NBA season.

Rob and Shap have been vocal about Morris, but has their tune changed with a resounding blowout in Cleveland? The Clips also had an embarrassing loss in Minneapolis, and a handful of games since the last time the guys talked.

TLTJTP: Clippers Picking Up Some Momentum & Trade Talk

Mon, 20 Jan 2020 17:59:17 -0000

The Clippers have felt a bit up and down over the past few weeks, but there's some hope that they're picking up momentum heading into a road trip this week with a huge Laker matchup looming. Lucas Hann joins Rob and Shap to talk about this last batch of games, most recently a nice W in New Orleans against an improving Pelicans team.

Same Old Clippers: Grizzlies Loss, Inconsistent Effort, and a Lack of Fun

Tue, 07 Jan 2020 17:37:29 -0000

The Clippers have lost twice recently, which means it's time for another episode of Same Old Clippers! Rob and Louis are joined by their second guest, Keith Parish of Fastbreak Breakfast and Grits and Grinds, to discuss what exactly happened in the Clippers' atrocious loss to the Grizzlies on Saturday. Keith makes the case for the Grizzlies as a solid team, one not necessarily worthy of being labeled a true bottom-dweller, and waxes poetic about the Grizzlies' youngsters. Then, the guys debate the Clippers' inconsistent effort throughout the season and how it has negatively effected the viewing experience. Finally, Rob and Louis deliver their usual disrespect, this time to Devin Booker and Kyle Kuzma.

TLTJTP: Clippers Finish Inconsistent Week 3-1

Mon, 06 Jan 2020 04:39:00 -0000

Well, that week was mostly not fun, but the Clips still ended up with a winning record. The Clippers have been inconsistent over the past few weeks, but finally have their roster intact and maybe have some time to get a few full practices in. They're fresh off an escape win against the Knicks (?), and a huge blowout loss to the Griz (?!?) the day before, and had some very uninspired late play against the Blake Griffin-less (yeah that one makes more sense) Pistons. Jae Crowder and Marcus Morris Sr. both gave compelling auditions this week, but are they the answer to the Clippers problems? Does this team need to make a move after a pretty mediocre week? All those questions as well as your Twitter questions on the latest episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!

TLTJTP: Recent Clippers Highs and Lows, Featuring Questions with Moe Harkless, Doc Rivers, and Kawhi Leonard

Tue, 31 Dec 2019 21:00:00 -0000

The Clippers are still really good, and the last week caught some of their best strengths as well as their flaws. In the midst of all of that, the team also lost Patrick Beverley and dropped a winnable game against the Jazz. A good chunk of the team felt ill in that Jazz game, though many will scoff at it being the reason they lost (it might really be part of it though). That Lakers win was still exhilarating, however, and the guys briefly discuss that win as well. Shap also managed to ask Kawhi Leonard, Doc Rivers, and Moe Harkless some questions directly, much to his chagrin. All this and a ton of your Twitter questions on the latest episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!

Tue, 24 Dec 2019 19:12:43 -0000

The Clippers are 22-10, but have dropped three of their last five games, including two blown leads late to the Thunder and Rockets. Louis and Rob are back to discuss the Clippers' recent struggles, including whether or not a trade could help relieve some of their issues. The two then preview the Clippers' Christmas Day game against the Lakers and tangent into the dichotomy in the NBA between regular season game importance and the relatively minute impact of any one game in an 82 game schedule. Finally, they discuss former Clipper Blake Griffin and his horrendous start to the 2020 season.

Tue, 24 Dec 2019 17:07:08 -0000

The Clippers have continued playing, but quite a bit has happened behind the scenes at Clips Nation, with new California Labor Laws causing SB Nation to essentially plan to cut ties with the Clips Nation staff by the end of March. The community is still being run at the old website, but with the plan to transition to a new site called 213Hoops by February. Lucas Hann joins Rob and Shap to go into detail about what this move means for the content on the website and for the community at large.

Thu, 12 Dec 2019 17:42:18 -0000

Thanks for the ring and the W, Raps. Kawhi Leonard showed up in Toronto, shook some hands, and then efficiently helped the Clippers beat the Raptors on the road. Paul George was not greeted with open arms in Indiana, but he put on a virtuoso performance to lead the Clippers in a tough win for a weary Clipper team. After a thud against the prepared Bucks, the Clips have looked really good on this road trip.

Sun, 08 Dec 2019 18:20:47 -0000

Since the last episode of Same Old Clippers, the Clips have lost twice, which means a double episode of the show. First off, the guys discuss those losses, and what exactly happened that led to the Clippers dropping both games. Then, they segue into Kawhi Leonard's issues, which surprisingly center around his offensive game and inconsistent shooting. From there, they move into a discussion on the Clippers' competition for the NBA Championship, focusing on the suddenly joyous Lakers and the machine-like Bucks. Finally, the two go on a lengthy diatribe against access journalism in the NBA, how that's damaging content and coverage, and why that plays into the NBA's weak rankings this season.

TLTJTP: Clippers Put Up 150 Again, Go 3-1 for the Week

Tue, 03 Dec 2019 17:33:22 -0000

The Clippers had a pretty good week despite a disappointing loss to the Spurs. The win in Dallas was impressive, with the team pulling away in the second half and never looking back while limiting phenom Luka Doncic in the process. The Memphis win left a lot to be desired and the Spurs loss was brutal to watch, but the team rebounded against the hapless defense of the Washington Wizards to feast for a casual 150. Afterwards, Kawhi Leonard stated that the team is still learning each other, and that remains very evident despite a solid start in the brutal Western Conference. How close is this team to reaching their potential? All that and your Twitter questions on the latest episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!

They followed that with another thriller against the Rockets and closed the week with a blowout against the Pelicans. To start the week, some old Clipper favorites returned, as the OKC Thunder brought home Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Danilo Gallinari, and Chris Paul in another tight win. The team now heads out for some road games after the nearly healthy Clippers got some much-needed reps under their belts. What do the guys think about the team gelling together, and how are they feeling about the Clips superstar duo?

TLTJTP: Paul George's Scorching Return and Clippers' Young Guys Stepping Up

Mon, 18 Nov 2019 17:21:21 -0000

Paul George is very good at basketball. The Clippers were disappointing record-wise this week and squandered two 4th quarter leads for losses on back to back nights on the road, partly due to the brilliance of opponents Jrue Holiday and James Harden. However, the offense began coming together against the Pelicans and was absolutely rolling against the overwhelmed Atlanta Hawks, led by a hyper efficient George and career best performances from Terance Mann and Jerome Robinson. We are finally nearing the time when we watch Kawhi Leonard and Paul George play together, and we are extremely hyped!

Mon, 11 Nov 2019 17:39:19 -0000

The Clippers played a couple of very different games last week, each entertaining in their own reasons. The Clips split the week 1-1, suffering a throwback (to last year's Clippers) defeat by the hands of the very elite Milwaukee Bucks without Kawhi Leonard, and then earning a W against a sputtering Blazers team with Kawhi. The guys discuss the idea of load management and talk about Kawhi's general longevity within the realm of his chronic injury. Oh, and Paul George is due back this week.

Wed, 06 Nov 2019 17:43:13 -0000

The NBA is now in full swing, so the guys are back to debate more various goings on as the NBA heads into week number three.

TLTJTP: Clippers Improve to 5-2 Following Two Bruising Victories at Home

Mon, 04 Nov 2019 17:46:00 -0000

Well, that was a grind. The Clippers ended the week with some difficult wins against the Jazz and Spurs on nights when the team could not particularly find their shots, outside of Montrezl Harrell, who can barely miss anything. Luckily, the team has Kawhi Leonard, and he can right the ship when things are chaotic down the stretch. The team also lost to the Jazz in Utah without Kawhi and had a ho-hum victory against the frisky Charlotte Hornets. The guys talk about how the team looks and take a peak ahead to a tough back to back at home against the Bucks and the Trail Blazers. All that and your Twitter questions on the latest episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast! Editor's Note: There was a technical difficulty at approximately the 10:00 mark at which Shapan talked about Mike Conley's ineffectiveness before asking about Ivica Zubac's play but was cut off.

TLTJTP: Crossover Lakers-Clippers Pod with Silver Screen and Roll, and Thoughts on Suns Loss

Mon, 28 Oct 2019 13:00:00 -0000

The guys were joined by Sabreena Merchant of Clips Nation and Silver Screen and Roll to do a crossover pod about the Lakers and Clippers, and how both teams are faring in a Western Conference that seems to be in the midst of some upheaval. The Suns are frisky, the Kings look dreadful, the Warriors have no defense, and yet the Clippers and Lakers remain the two biggest stories in the Conference. Do the Clippers need another ball-handler? Could the Lakers' size be a deciding factor against the Clippers? Is mid-season help via trade or buyout coming for either of these teams? After Sabreena departed, Rob and Shap chatted about the Clippers' miserable loss to the Suns, and what, if anything that portends.

Tue, 27 Aug 2019 14:00:00 -0000

The lull of the offseason continues, but there have been some Clippers-related things to discuss in recent weeks. The Clippers took something that the Lakers figured was theirs in new assistant coach Tyronn Lue, and the schedule has plenty of highlights. But, perhaps more interestingly, Ramona Shelburne put out a 30 for 30 on ESPN focusing on Donald Sterling, his ownership of the Clippers, and his exit from the team.

Tue, 02 Jul 2019 06:20:22 -0000

We're exhausted. Free agency has barely started, and the Clippers have not made too many moves, but the chase for Kawhi Leonard has been draining to everyone around Clippers Nation. The guys are here to talk about what's going on with Kawhi, celebrate the return of Patrick Beverley, and touch on the Mo Harkless deal that brought an 11 million dollar expiring deal to the Clippers as well as a protected future first rounder. The Kawhi Sweepstakes should hopefully be done in the coming days, but it's going to feel like much longer. The guys discuss all that and answer your Twitter questions on the latest episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!

TLTJTP: Clippers Draft Recap with Trevor Magnotti and Free Agency Chatter with Lucas

Sat, 22 Jun 2019 16:00:00 -0000

The Clippers traded into the first round of the NBA Draft with Philly's future first from next year. In return, they netted FSU's Mfiondu Kabengele, a 6'10 big man with tenacity on both ends and range on his shot. They also drafted another FSU alumni in Terance Mann in the second round, another player with nice defensive upside. How did they do with these picks? We got Trevor Magnotti from The Step Back and sister Cavs SB Nation blog Fear The Sword for his draft expertise, and he's got all the details on these two, from their NBA comps to reasonable expectations. On the second half of the pod, Lucas joins the guys to talk about free agency scuttlebut, including possible targets like Al Horford, Harrison Barnes, and of course, Kawhi Leonard. All this and your Twitter questions on the latest episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!

Mike Prada, Ben Epstein and Ricky O’Donnell host a recap of this year’s SB Nation NBA Bloggers’ Mock Draft.

TLTJTP: Recapping the NBA Finals and the Looming Offseason

Fri, 14 Jun 2019 20:16:34 -0000

The NBA Finals just ended and NBA basketball is done for the season, but it ended with a bang. Kawhi Leonard, a guy Clipper fans are quite familiar with, won another MVP, and two free agent superstars suffered huge injuries with long recovery times with Klay Thompson's torn ACL and Kevin Durant's ruptured Achilles. How does this effect what the Clippers want to do? Does much change as far as the Clippers go? Does this make Kawhi less likely to leave? Lots of things to chew on, and your Twitter questions on the latest episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!

TLTJTP: Reviewing the 2018-2019 Clippers Centers, and Finals Talk

Sat, 01 Jun 2019 21:45:13 -0000

The Finals are upon us, and while there are players to keep an eye on from the Clippers perspective, we're back to talk about the centers that were on the Clippers roster this past season. While guys like Montrezl Harrell and Ivica Zubac made their impressions late, Boban Marjanovic and Marcin Gortat were given big minutes early in the season. There are a lot of interesting tidbits from the Clippers' perhaps most fluid position, including some G League guys. The guys also talk a bit about the Clips fine for tampering, the Finals at large, and answer your Twitter questions on the latest episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!

TLTJTP: Free Agency Chatter, Kawhi Gloom, and Some Playoff Talk

Sat, 25 May 2019 23:21:14 -0000

Keep calm everyone! The Clippers future is still bright, even if all these Kawhi Leonard wins are a little bit discouraging. There's a good chance he might not care about how far the Raps make it in the playoffs, but watching him thrive and carry the Raptors to wins is not particularly exciting for Clippers fans. The Raptors are a win from the NBA finals, but the Clippers still have news. Patrick Beverley got snubbed from the All NBA Defense teams, Shai did not make the All Rookie First Team, and the summer is getting more and more exciting. Lucas swings by and gives some of his thoughts on Clipper happenings and NBA free agency, and the guys take your Twitter questions on the latest episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!

TLTJTP: Clippers Fight til Finish, But Season Ends in Game 6 to Warriors

Tue, 30 Apr 2019 14:00:00 -0000

The Clippers never stopped fighting. In a game where the Warriors were comfortably ahead, the Clips kept putting just enough pressure on the Warriors to make them nervous, absorbing an all-time Kevin Durant game in the process. And really, they're just relentless. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had another great home game, Danilo Gallinari played well, and Lou Williams did not. But this pod isn't just about this game, but about these Clippers, and this team as awhole. We also briefly touch on what's ahead with this summer in free agency. All that, your Twitter questions, and more on the latest episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!

TLTJTP: The Clippers Shock The Warriors In Oakland, Win 129-121

Thu, 25 Apr 2019 06:31:00 -0000

The Clippers are hardcore. They just keep coming at you, and are very much living up to the blue collar underdog tag their brand has been hyping all season. The team went into arguably the hardest place to win in the league and won AGAIN, this time without a massive comeback, but by just outplaying the extremely talented Dubs, winning 129-121. Danilo Gallinari finally put it together, Montrezl Harrell played great on both ends, and Lou Williams was absolutely unstoppable down the stretch. The Clippers also got some huge contributions from X-Factor JaMychal Green and heart of the team Patrick Beverley, who pulled in an incredible 14 rebounds. It felt like everyone chipped in this game, and we just had to talk about it right after it ended. That and your Twitter questions and ALL THE HYPE on the latest episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!

TLTJTP: Shai Has Coming Out Party in Tough Game 4 Loss

Mon, 22 Apr 2019 18:50:00 -0000

Game 4 was a great game, but loaded with Clippers' missteps. One guy who did not misstep was the pod's beloved Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who took Doc's challenge to step up this game to heart. Shai had the offensive game of his life, but the other Clipper Doc challenged, Danilo Gallinari, continued to struggle and simply could not hit shots. Lou Williams got to his spots but was off as well, and with both of those guys struggling, it's incredible the Clippers were as close as they were. They got subtle contributions across the board outside of those three, but no one particularly stood out, aside from an extremely surprising Jerome Robinson. We talk about the game, the starting lineup change, Game 5, and take your Twitter questions on the latest episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!

TLTJTP: Warriors Punch Back in Game 3

Sun, 21 Apr 2019 01:11:00 -0000

The highs are high and the lows are low. The Clippers, fresh off an insane comeback, got handled by the Warriors in Game 3, a game that was never in doubt. Kevin Durant decided to destroy the Clippers, and pretty much set the tone for the game with his incredible performance. Meanwhile, the Clippers just could not hit their shots, particularly Danilo Gallinari, who has mostly struggled in this series. Can the Clippers win Game 4 to ensure a Game 6? Will we have another blowout at the hands of the Dubs? What does the team need to do to stay competitive in this next one? All this, some chatter about our coveted front office, and your Twitter questions, on a less hyped episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!

TLTJTP: Clippers Pull off the Greatest Playoff Comeback in NBA History

Wed, 17 Apr 2019 03:29:00 -0000

What a game! We're still buzzing. The LA Clippers came back from THIRTY-ONE (3-1) down in the 3rd quarter and reeled off a comeback that will be remembered in the history of this league. Led by Lou Williams, Montrezl Harrell, and the inspired two-way (?!) game of Landry Shamet, the Clippers punched back and sent the dynasty Warriors to the mat, if just for a game. Keep your lottery pick -- the Clipper kids will never forget this game in any playoff game they ever play for the rest of their lives. The guys talk about the comeback, watching this team defy expectations (even their own), the players behind the comeback, your Twitter questions, and the Clippers actually going for a series lead in Los Angeles. Just like the Clips, we just keep coming back, on another episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!

TLTJTP: Clippers Fight Hard, But Fall as Expected in Game 1

Mon, 15 Apr 2019 14:00:00 -0000

Ok, take a moment to forget how poorly the Blazers and Nuggets are playing to focus on this Warriors team. They are incredibly good and will likely win this series rather convincingly, but the Clippers can improve on how they played in Game 1! The offense lagged, even though the defensive blueprint was a pretty savvy one. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Lou Williams, and Montrezl Harrell all stood out as being ready for the moment, but unfortunately the rest of the team did not. How can the team improve? Do the guys still bank on a sweep? Can we stop looking at the other teams we could have played? The guys talk a little bit more about this and the inevitable Warriors' wins to come on the latest episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!

TLTJTP: Warriors Series Preview, Ralph Appreciation, and Season Roundup

Fri, 12 Apr 2019 14:00:00 -0000

48 wins? Who would have expected it? But you know what would have been nice? That cushy 6 seed, and a possible path to a WCF berth! Ok, the Clippers probably were not getting to that elusive 3rd round either way, but man the guys can't help but think about that Laker loss changing the trajectory of these playoffs. But honestly, the team should be celebrated this season, and more than anything, Ralph Lawler should be celebrated. We talk about Bill Walton's return and Ralph's send off, and talk a little bit about this upcoming Warriors series as well as the season that was. These, your Twitter questions, and the usual bitterness that comes with rooting for this team for so long, on the latest episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!

TLTJTP: Embarrassing Lakers Loss Exposes Stumbling Clippers

Sat, 06 Apr 2019 18:05:00 -0000

Right when you thought the ghosts of Lob City were behind them, the Clippers put up a true stinker against a garbage team. The Lakers can hold their heads up high as they played with a ton of urgency, while the Clippers sleepwalked through a terrible loss that could cost them serious ground in the playoff chase to close the season. While Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continued to ball out, Montrezl Harrell and Lou Williams both looked listless, though we know at least the former was a bit sick. Danilo Gallinari and Garrett Temple also showed up, but the rest of the team did not. This after a lifeless showing against the Rockets. How worried should we be about the Clippers? Can we just stop playing Wilson Chandler and Jerome Robinson? And how scary is that potential Warriors matchup that could very much happen? All this frustration and your Twitter questions on the latest episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!

TLTJTP: The Playoff Bound Clippers and the Final Stretch

Tue, 02 Apr 2019 18:30:00 -0000

The Clippers have been practically therapeutic to Clipper fans this season. Finally devoid of expectations, the team has broken every projection and are trying to somehow accomplish another 50 win season, which would be the first without Chris Paul. You know we're going to gush about Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who's put it all together this month, and is putting up some gaudy shooting splits as well as picking up his downhill play. He's not the only one, as the team went a league best (!) 14-2 in the month of March, including arguably the best play of Danilo Gallinari's career. The team also absorbed some injury scares to Patrick Beverley, Montrezl Harrell, and Landry Shamet while coming out on the other side. Now all that's left is staying healthy and seeing who shows up as our first playoff opponent. And, of course, your Twitter questions. Let's get going on the latest episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!

TLTJTP: Clips Reach 5th but Lose Shamet to Injury

Tue, 26 Mar 2019 15:00:00 -0000

We can't believe the Clippers are in 5th place right now, but maybe anything is possible in one of the more enjoyable seasons in Clippers franchise history. The team has played some weak teams recently, but they've fattened up their record on them, running just as hot as they did earlier in the season. The team has played well, but the bench has dragged with Wilson Chandler, who is mostly washed. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues his improved play and Danilo Gallinari might be in the best stretch of his career season. Landry Shamet is injured, but it feels like a pretty variable injury, and it's encouraging that he's already questionable for the Wolves game. Who will start in his stead, and will Doc shorten the rotation as a result? All this and your Twitter questions on the latest episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!

TLTJTP: Gallo Appreciation, New Look Bench, and the Final 12 Games

Sun, 17 Mar 2019 19:08:00 -0000

The Clippers continue to build momentum despite a schedule loss against the Blazers earlier in the week. They had an excellent blowout win against the Celtics and, in an otherwise pretty mediocre game, had a third quarter for the ages against the hapless Bulls. The team is fairly healthy, and ready to try and get as high of a seed as they can. The magic number for the playoffs is 8, and while we have a hard time ignoring it, it is not a bad idea to look at the schedules of the teams around you. And, what about Shai? Did you hear that we like him? All that, your Twitter questions, and more on the latest episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!

TLTJTP: The Streaking Clippers Keep Rolling

Sun, 10 Mar 2019 19:25:00 -0000

The Clippers are playing quite well. The team has lived most of the season as an underdog story, and has had to hear basketball "experts" undercut their accomplishments all year. How long until these surprising Clips no longer surprise, but are just expected? The team is at least 2 deep at every position, with even more reinforcements on the way. Have the new pickups made it hard to figure who closes games outside of our scorers? Is Ivica Zubac vs. Montrezl Harrell a real thing? Should we just max Patrick Beverley? And why can't I stop getting frustrated at all this Danilo Gallinari iso-ball? All these and your Twitter questions on the latest episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!

TLTJTP: Quality Win in Sacramento, and a Nice Upcoming Home Stretch

Sun, 03 Mar 2019 19:32:00 -0000

The Clippers are fresh off a quality win against the upstart Kings, who are still pretty formidable at home despite not having rookie Marvin Bagley III. They return home for a back to back against the woeful Knicks, and then a pretty big game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The natural pessimist in the guys make them worried about the Laker game, but how worried should they be? How encouraging have the starters looked these past few games? And are Lou Williams and Danilo Gallinari running on fumes right now? All that and your Twitter questions on the latest episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!

TLTJTP: An Underwhelming Return from the All-Star Break

Mon, 25 Feb 2019 05:00:00 -0000

The Clippers are still in the playoffs, but the Kings and Lakers are behind them with signature wins. While the Lakers can beat and lose to anyone, the Kings are very much real and charging. The Clippers beat a pathetic Grizzlies team but needed a late game push, and then got blown out in Denver yet again. What do the guys think of the rotations now that the team is back? What about pod favorite Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's minutes? Fan favorite Landry Shamet getting exposed on defense? The Clippers have huge upcoming games against the Jazz and Kings, what do we expect from those games? All this and your twitter questions, on the latest episde of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!

The guys briefly touch on the All Star Weekend and how boring it is, then discuss the games that happened before the break.

TLTJTP: The New Look Clips and An Improbable Win in Boston

Tue, 19 Feb 2019 04:40:00 -0000

Get hyped. Your Los Angeles Clippers threw some trades together, went to one of the more intimidating home courts in the country, and made history AGAIN with a historic 28 point comeback in Boston. Granted, the Celtics did not have Kyrie Irving to stop the bleeding, but we could not think of a better way to introduce sharpshooter Landry Shamet, role player extraordinaire Garrett Temple, possible center of the future Ivica Zubac, and Jamychal Green to the Clippers. The team rode quality performances up and down the roster against a shell-shocked Celtic squad, and the result was one of the more fun wins in recent memory. Lucas is back to talk about the team, the salary cap, how the Clippers are positioned for the future, and what we expect from the squad. Will the Clippers make the playoffs? Do we want them to? How much is signing someone like Zubacgoing to hurt our cap space? A lot of questions, including your Twitter questions, on the latest episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!
