Clips Nation: For Los Angeles Clippers Fans

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. Lucas also talks about how you can help us with this transition and methods of support. The trio also can't help but chat a little bit about the Clippers to end the pod.

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. The guys talk about those games and take your Twitter questions as always on the latest episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.Learn more about your ad choices.

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!Learn more about your ad choices.

What a week that was. Paul George and Kawhi Leonard finally played together, and thrilled in a tightly contested win over the the talented Boston Celtics. 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?

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! Takes on the games this week, on our new play by play/color commentator duo, and your Twitter questions on the latest episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!Learn more about your ad choices.

They also discuss Paul George's epic return to action and the first NBA start of rookie Terance Mann. Additionally, the duo perform some investigative work into Dion Waiters' encounter with an edible and identify a likely culprit.

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.

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. The biggest point of discussion is Clippers superstar Kawhi Leonard resting against the Milwaukee Bucks and reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, and what that means for the NBA and for fans. Other significant topics touched upon includes the suspension of John Collins for 25 games for PED use and the seeming collapse of the juggernaut Golden State Warriors. Finally, Rob and Louis bring Clippers (and NBA) fans up to date on the status of Tyrone Wallace, the former Clipper on whose metaphorical island the two podcasters own beachfront property.

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.Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

The third (and for now, final) show of the expanded Clips Nation podcast network is here! Same Old Clippers will air on a semi-regular basis and will touch on more than just the Clippers and their various ups and downs. Shit-talking will be rampant, player and coach handsomeness rankings and what that means for success will be expounded upon, and fun will be had.

That was fun. The Clippers finally beat an NBA team in their first game of the regular season, in a resounding 112-102 win over the rival (?) Los Angeles Lakers. The guys dissect the game and talk about what has gotten them excited about this team so early in the season, focusing on the insane depth of the Clips and the superstar power of Kawhi Leonard. After watching the dichotomy of fans at Staples, they also touch about what it's like growing up a Clipper fan in a city that's still a majority Laker fans.

For the second episode of the Clip Fix with Mike Jaglin, a very special guest from ESPN joined the show: longtime Los Angeles NBA beat reporter and journalist Arash Markazi. The guys chatted about the Lakers and Clippers summer, the dual pairing of superstars in LA, and whether Clippers-Lakers is finally approaching a true rivalry. Both teams believe they can win it all this season, and pairing two such forces in the same city is bound to bring some competitive vibes. But how deep does that rivalry go, and are we likely to see any of that change this year? All that and more on this episode of the Clip Fix with Arash Markazi!Learn more about your ad choices.

The games are finally going to count soon, with preseason basketball winding down and the regular season just a week away. We did get our very first glimpse of Kawhi Leonard in a Clipper jersey, with the added bonus that Shapan covered that game for TLTJTP, talking to some of the players before and afterwards to record some interview footage for the pod. The team also played an Australian squad, and will be finishing up against the Mavericks in Vancouver before returning to Staples to start the regular season. There's still not too much to really hang your hat on on these games, but there have been tantalizing morsels the guys want to talk about, in addition to those new uniforms the Clippers just rolled out.

NBA BASKETBALL IS BACK. It's totally fair to talk down preseason basketball, but there's still so much hype in the air and everything is fresh and fun. Rob and Shap talk about their early impressions of some Clipper role players, particularly on the fringes of the team. How excited are we about Terance Mann? How refreshing is it to see Ivica Zubac catch passes? Did Jerome Robinson finally impress the oft-critical duo?

Media day is now done, and that means Clipper basketball is just around the corner — before the end of the week to be precise! Mike Jaglin was at media day, and he joins the guys to talk about all the rumblings that went on throughout the day. Not too much new information really dropped, but we did get a bit more of a timetable on Paul George, and it's good to see the guys together answering questions in their Clipper gear. Then, we look at the rest of the bench for what was a great Clipper year before officially gearing up for the new season.

Well, September is still September even with the offseason coup the Clippers have pulled off. There are some encouraging videos of the team working out together already, but they just make us crave Clipper basketball even more. Still, former Clipper kid Shaun Livingston just announced his retirement, the SI Top 100 came out, and there are rumors that the Clippers are taking a look at Joakim Noah. Plus, the guys reminisce about Danilo Gallinari and Tobias Harris. All that and your Twitter questions on the latest episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!Learn more about your ad choices.
