Trick or Treat? James Harden is a Clipper!
Lucas, Shap, and Dan (@dan_olinger) talk about the James Harden deal that FINALLY happened, and still isn't even quite finished. The Clippers dealt expirings, including RoCo, Nico, Mook, and KJ for Harden, PJ Tucker, and Filip Petrusev. LAC are also dealing a first, a couple seconds, a pick swap, and another first involved with a third team that we couldn't stay up longer to wait for! Let's talk about the deal and what it means for the Clippers!

Comeback Falls Short to Jazz Hero Triples in SLC
Shap and Cole (@colehoops) jump on the pod to talk about a heartbreaking loss in Utah, 120-118. Paul George and Kawhi Leonard had moments of brilliance, and Norm/Bones had their flashes, but the Clippers ran out of gas while Utah kept up their shotmaking. What to make of Russ's second game this season? How about the increase in Wingstop minutes? Wemby awaits.

Bones Impresses as LAC Drops Preseason Opener to UTA 101-96
Lucas, Rob, and Shap chat about Clippers basketball! Preseason hoops started and LAC looked good in the first half before fading behind their mostly 3rd unit, 101-96 against a closing squad led by Kris Dunn. Kawhi and PG looked good, but Bones got the start and brought up some interesting questions as far as his place in the rotation. Who should ultimately get that 5th start spot?
