Clips Nation: For Los Angeles Clippers Fans

Shap, Justin (@laclippersfilm), & Jamal (@JamCristopher) have one more pod of previewing before we get the show on the road. The crew talk about Kawhi Leonard's tough road to success, the Clippers "bench advantage," the difficulty guarding the dynamic Suns, and the margins that need to click to keep the Clippers in this series.

213Hoops' Lucas Hann is joined by Phoenix Suns beat writer Gerald Bourquet of PHNX and Clippers beat writer Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints to preview the key storylines and themes heading into the first round playoff series between the two teams.

Rob, Shap, and Cole (@colehoops) get together to finally look ahead at the big opponent coming up: The Phoenix Suns. The Clippers have a rematch with the Valley a couple years after a heartbreaking series loss, and the Suns have reinforcements. How do the crew think the offense, already missing Paul George (for now) will hold up against a solid defense? Can LAC slow down the Midrange Mafia? Who's the X-Factor? Will Paul George return? And of course, predictions.

Lucas, Rob, and Shap get together after a stressful few hours scoreboard watching and Clippers watching, as the Clips close out a ragtag Suns bunch 119-114 to finish in 5th, to setup a matchup with the Suns. The guys hand out medals, talk about the experience with watching the standings, and touch on the some expectations with the Suns based on how this Clipper season has gone so far.

The Clippers secured a crucial victory over their local rivals, the LA Lakers--their 11th straight victory head-to-head, breaking a tie in the standings that sees the Clippers well on their way to a playoff berth. Lucas Hann, Jamal Christopher, and Cole Huff discuss.

Lucas, Rob, & Shap get together on an off day to take a look at the wild standings out West with only 3 games left in the Clipper season. The trio talk about preferred seedings, predictions, and also spend a bit of time talking about the new CBA that's been talked about recently.

Rob and Shap chat over another huge standings loss, as LAC loses to Brandon Ingram and the Pels 122-114 in New Orleans. Kawhi had 40, and Russ had 19 of his 24 in the first half, but the Clips could not keep up in the 4th quarter to go blow for blow with NOP. Next up is a long look at the standings.

Rob and Shap discuss the Clippers' 141-132 win over the Grizzlies without Kawhi Leonard or Paul George, one of their best, most fun, and most important wins of the season. The guys give out their medals, discuss how Ty Lue might balance a still-crowded rotation, and heap praise on the player of the game, Russell Westbrook, who had 36 points and 10 assists.

Lucas Hann, Jamal Christopher, and Justin Wilson discuss Nico Batum replacing Marcus Morris in the starting lineup, other Clipper rotation questions, a big win over the Chicago Bulls, and the Western Conference playoff race in this episode of The Lob, The Jam, The Podcast.

Rob, Shap, and Cole (@colehoops) talk about another bad loss in the books, 131-110 where the Clippers did not really have any standout performances, and Kawhi finished the game in the locker room after a facial contusion. The Clippers continue their disappointing year with befuddling rotations, but are the guys still finding reasons to be positive about a possible run to close the year going into the playoffs?

Lucas and Shap talk about a big win 127-105 vs. OKC behind hot shooting for the Clips, lead by their leader Kawhi Leonard and closed by the bench. The guys hand out some medals, talk about how the rotations have hampered the Clippers, and also talk a bit about the Paul George MRI update with some thoughts on his possible return.

To close the guys look at the standings and huge games coming up against the not-so-far-behind Thunder.

In Episode 500, Shap, Justin (@laclippersfilm), & Jamal (@JamCristopher) chop it up after arguably the biggest win of the season. The Clippers survived 50 points from Steph Curry, thanks to great contributions across their roster, highlighted by Kawhi, Zu, Paul George, & all the small guards. With the team taking more control of the 5th seed, is it time to wonder if they're getting it together for a real run?

Lucas, Rob, and Shap get together during this long off period for the Clippers to take a look at the squad after some wins. Is LAC fixing their internal issues while every other Western Conference team seems to be adding them? Have the rotations been making more sense? What about all those Advanced Stats skewing towards Russell Westbrook rather than away from him? Basketball never sleeps and neither does the crew!

The LA Clippers ground out a home win against the shorthanded New York Knicks to win their third straight game. Lucas Hann and Cole Huff discuss.

Shap, Justin (@laclippersfilm), & Jamal (@JamCristopher) chop up a second Clipper win in a row against the Raptors, in a game where the defense held a team to only 100 points.

Lucas, Shap, & Jag (@Mjags24) talk about just a strange game, where the Clippers fell behind by 15 to start the 4th to a depleted Memphis team, but stormed back behind the superstar efforts of Paul George and Kawhi Leonard. The win streak is over, but did we learn much new about the team? Does it make the challenge ahead seem lighter? Come join us recapping just a weird game in a weird season.

It's officially a 5-game losing streak, and Lucas Hann and Robert Flom try to pick up the pieces and figure out where the LA Clippers go from here.
