Clips Nation: For Los Angeles Clippers Fans

For the first time all season, this pod is coming off a pretty gross loss. The Clippers played sloppy basketball for three quarters against the Heat and then totally laid down in the 4th quartr and got run off their own floor. Dwyane Wade was allowed to look like the Hall of Famer he is and the Clippers barely scored any baskets at all through the entire quarter. In what was the ashes of hopefully the worst loss of the season, Rob and Shap look ahead 3 games in 4 nights schedule and a showdown in OKC against a rolling Thunder team. With the Clippers no longer in 1st in the West, have our expectations of the team changed? What are these rotations recently that Doc has been using?

The Clippers are still tied for the best record in the West, but ended the week with a thud rather than a bang. After a nice win on the second night of a back to back in Sacramento, the Clippers lost a game with mediocre play against a team missing arguably their best player and heavy ROTY favorite, Luka Doncic. The Clips were lit up by Harrison Barnes and definitely missed Luc Mbah a Moute tonight. The schedule has taken a turn for the road heavy, and the team are in the midst of a December where they have three stretches of three games in four nights. Will the Clippers legs get weary? The guys also talk about the recent comments made about the Clippers not making the playoffs by Charles Barkley last week. That, your twitter questions, and much more on the newest episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Clippers were number one in the West to end this past week and were the talk of the town. They still are after a few impressive wins over the past 2. weeks, however the Warriors did reclaim the best record in the West on Monday. Nonetheless, the Clippers have been a delight so far this season, and even after a disappointing loss in DC, the Clips backed it up with a couple of great comebacks against two of the West's best. How can the Clippers keep this up? Are they not only a playoff contender, but a Western Conference power? How does the West somehow have 14 quality teams? Are both Tobias Harris and Montrezl Harrell All-Stars? Robert and Shapan are hyped, and you should be too, for the latest the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast! Learn more about your ad choices.

The Clippers have had quite a few awesome wins this season, but Saturday's matinee might have been the best. Against a monster of a game from Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Clippers took the hits and kept on dishing from strong performances by their starting backcourt (both of them!!), Tobias Harris, as well as a signature game from Montrezl Harrell. Lou Williams provided the finishing touch and you have a classic Clipper win. The Clippers had a rough game in Portland but ended up with a winning record for the week. The schedule doesn't ease up just yet, but soon it finally might. Rob and Shapan are back to talk about all this, take your questions, and more on the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Clippers played some good basketball this week, but they were mostly streaky. What leads to these Clipper lows? Robert and Shapan are back to take on the Clippers record this week, and look ahead to this upcoming week. The Clips are nearly done with their brutal start to the season, though there are still some games upcoming that will provide challenges. The Tobias Harris/Danilo Gallinari combo has continued to impress, and the team switched out their slow footed centers in the starting lineup against the Magic. Will that change last? Can Boban Marjanovic manage being a starter without losing his stamina? Do we still hate Avery Bradley?

Not the happiest day for LA sports, but there are things to look forward to aside from baseball. The Clippers are off to a surprising 4-2 start, including a couple of impressive wins, and losses that were not terribly discouraging. The team looks very deep, but how real is this bench? And how real is this start? How did Shai Gilgeous-Alexander become this loveable this quickly? Can this team realistically make the playoffs in the brutal West?

The Clippers are looking like a fun, exciting bunch, much like we thought they'd be. They got some breaks in these last couple of wins with the opposition missing some superstar power, but the Clippers were very familiar with injury woes last seaosn so you can't blame them for taking advantage of some luck in what is a brutal opening schedule. Things don't lighten up too much with these next few games, but the Clips look ready for the challenge. Clippers forward duo Danilo Gallinari and Tobias Harris are as good as they've ever been, even if the rest of the starters have not been too impressive. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander looks every bit the star of the future as he's been advertised. We're exciting to talk about the new look Clippers on the latest episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The NBA regular season is finally here, and we're hyped. The Clippers managed to trade Wes Johnson and save a little bit of money in the process, and unfortunately pod favorite Jawun Evans is no longer a Clipper. But the team looks set to go, are loaded with talent, even if without a superstar at the moment. Shapan and Robert look at some of the early season matchup and look forward to the return of relevant basketball.

Always nice to beat that other LA team, even if in the meaningless preseason. The Clippers and Lakers played a fairly monotonous game, but the Clippers pulled away and won comfortably. The preseason is nearing its conclusion, and the Clippers still have a ton of questions, particularly about their backcourt. One thing is for sure, is that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is emerging as an opening day rotation player, and many would hope to be a starter. How does the rest of the roster look? What should we look for in these last couple of preseason games? All that and more on the latest the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Clippers are finally back, and Preseason is underway. The Clippers had a fairly easy win over Andrew Bogut and the Sydney Kings in Hawaii, and there were a few interesting wrinkles in the rotation that seemed fairly ready for the regular season. The 4 guards most expected to gobble up most of the minutes did, but what about players like Jerome Robinson? How good did Tobias Harris, Patrick Beverley, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander look today? What do we think of this rotation? And what about all those Jimmy Butler rumors? Plenty to talk about on the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

August is a slow month in the NBA, but Clipper basketball continues on. In this episode we talk about Austin Rivers and how the brash kid grew up before our very eyes to become the brash man. Austin Rivers forced his way into our hearts, but it was not always that way. We also chat about a healthy Danilo Gallinari, his MVP performance in the Team World vs. Team Africa game, and what it might mean going forward. We also say farewell to Sam Dekker as he was traded for cash in order to become the new LeBron James in Cleveland. All that and your questions as always, on the latest episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Disclaimer: Rob was having some technical difficulties, leading to his side of the pod sounding more muffled than usual. Apologies for that, should have it fixed next time. The Clippers have had a fairly predictable summer so far, in a summer that did have some potential for explosive moves. They are mostly bringing the band back together for next year, with the exception of signficiantly downgrading at center but adding some more depth in its stead. A huge lingering question was at least answered temporarily with Kawhi Leonard being dealt to the Raptors. Tobias Harris also just recently and predictably turned down a Clipper extension as the two sides continue to have discussions. How do Rob and Shap feel about the roster? Are there more moves lingering? Where will Kawhi Leonard be this time next year? All those and of course your twitter questions on this episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

July and Vegas. The Clippers are featured this Summer League with a couple of lottery picks, and so far, things are looking promising. While Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been phenomenal, a gimpy Jerome Robinson has also shown flashes of his microwave-type potential. Sindarius Thornwell has also shown improvement in his game, particularly his jumper. Does anyone else standout from this roster? How do the promising Clipper kids figure into next year's rotation? The crew also recaps some offseason moves, and take a moment to look back on DeAndre Jordan and his career with the Clippers.

Another one bites the dust. The Clippers lost another piece from the Lob City Era, with Austin Rivers being swapped with Marcin Gortat. Is this a sign that an even bigger piece of that time will also be gone soon in DeAndre Jordan? How will we remember Austin Rivers? What do the guys think of Gortat? What other dominoes will fall? So many questions, and the gang is here to break it down on the newest episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Basketball never sleeps. The Clippers made some headlines over the NBA Draft, for possibly some good and wrong reasons, but now that they have a deck of cards, which ones will they keep? How many guards can possibly stay on this roster? Is Kawhi Leonard still a trade target? And of course, Summer League rosters are quietly being assembled, and we have another set of games to chat about. With a couple of intriguing lottery picks on the team, this Summer League might be just as fascinating as any one the Clippers have had, and that's saying something considering some of the talent on those summer rosters during the early Blake Griffin era.

The Clippers made two picks in the 2018 NBA Draft, acquiring Shai Gilgeous-Alexander by trading up with the Hornets via the 12th pick, and then selecting Jerome Robinson with the 13th pick.

It's June as and per usual, the Clippers are not playing. They find themselves in a bit of an unfamiliar place relative to their recent history, looking at the draft with a couple of late lottery options. This offseason will be huge for the Clips, with a handful of options going forward. The team can stay the course, blow it up, or try and pursue a superstar this offseason. Based on how things have been run during the Jerry West era, they might stay as pragmatic as possible. Also, how about that LeBron James? Shapan is back on TLTJTP and he's joined by Robert and Lucas! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
