Rob, Shap, and Justin Russo (@FlyByKnite) get together to talk through a very ho hum Clippers win over a depleted Jazz team, 130-110, before diving deep into new additions Bogan Bogdanovic and Ben Simmons. How will those two have ripple effects through the rotation, and what will they bring to this Clipper team that could badly use their strengths?

Clippers bad play continues, losing 119-112 to the Indiana Pacers in a game devoid of particularly standout performances. After recapping the loss, the guys talk about the trade deadline, headline by Bogdan Bogdanovic and three 2nds coming to the Clips and fan favorite Terance Mann, along with Bones Hyland going to Atlanta. Kevin Porter Jr. also got traded for Marjon Beauchamp. How did the guys think the Clippers did at the deadline, what needs are left?

Lucas and Rob discuss the news that the Clippers have added Drew Eubanks as their new backup center in a trade with the Utah Jazz.  The move saves the team money in the short- and long-term, setting them up for a quiet trade deadline and active buyout market.

Rob, Shap, and Justin (@LAClippersFilm) talk about this Clipper team and how they continue to impress, not just against the Bucks but the back half of the rotation against the Celtics. The guys hand out medals, talk Terance vs. Dunn, KPJ's improved play, Amir's stronghold in the rotation, DJ's shooting upswing, and who is the most important Clipper?

Lucas, Rob, and Shap talk about Kawhi Leonard's return in an easy 131-105 win against a tired, injured Hawks team. The guys hand out medals, talk about the road trip that featured a couple losses and a struggle of a win vs. the Pelicans, and talk about a lot of the downhill effects from Kawhi (and Terance Mann) returning to the rotation. Who gets squeezed out? What do minutes without KPJ even look like? Has the bench shown enough to remove him, or anyone else, out of the rotation?

Lucas, Rob, and Shap get together to talk about a stretch of successful Clipper basketball, with Kawhi Leonard finally being given a return date. Kawhi is scheduled to come back on January 4th, and the guys talk about the expectations for him to finally return to the court. They then turn their attention to an abysmal close against the Warriors, touch on the two Maverick road games, before closing on maybe the best win of the season in Memphis.
