Clippers Season Ends in a Blowout in Denver

Lucas, Rob, and Shap talk about the Clippers big signing, big man Brook Lopez. The trio talk about what his spacing/interior defense means for the team, before taking a look at the raises James Harden and Nico Batum got to come back. Then, the guys talk about what the Clippers can do with their remaining money, and Norm Powell's place on the team.

Lucas, Rob, and Shap watched the first round crawl to its end as the Clippers selected Yanic Konan Niederhauser with the last pick of the round. The crew analyze the pick and where the young 7 footer can fit on this Clipper team, what to expect out of him given his college prowess, and a very familiar feeling for this range of the draft.

Rob and Shap start the pod talking about the Monte McNair advisor hire, the Kevin Durant rumors, and the Finals. Then, the guys get down to business, talking about Kawhi Leonard's interesting season, the eternal Nico Batum, the idea of Ben Simmons, and a nearly out of his time Kobe Brown.

Rob and Shap get together to talk Finals then continue the Exit Interview Series talking about some scoring wings. How tradeable is Norm Powell after his stellar season? Where does Bogi fit with the Clippers? Is Amir gone, is Jordan taking his place? What were early returns on Trentyn Flowers?

Rob and Shap return to resume their Exit Interview Series, but first start talking about Shai Gilgeous-Alexander winning MVP and the feelings it gives the guys after all Shai's history with the Clippers. Then, the guys talk about other guards, including MVP vote getting James Harden, defensive ace Kris Dunn, vibes guy Patty Mills, and shooter Cam Christie.

Shap and Rob get together again to start their Exit Interview Series, first with the players this season who are no longer Clippers. What went wrong at backup center to start the year? Was KPJ ever the answer? How much of Bones Hyland's potential did the team squander? And how did Terance get to the point where he became an afterthought?

Lucas, Rob, and Shap get together after a disappointing end to what was an extremely exhilirating season. The guys talk about what went wrong, how the roster managed to hold together so long for such a great regular season, what let them down in the playoffs, and what comes next for a team with such few avenues to get better.

Shap, Justin (@LAClippersFilm), and Cole (@colehoops) talk about the Clippers taking a must win Game 6 and heading back to Denver with the series on the line. The guys hand out medals, talk about the big Nico Batum rotation change, what to expect from this huge Game 7, and predictions for how this series wraps up.

Lucas and Shap get together after a disheartening 131-115 loss to the Denver Nuggets, in a game that the Clippers never came particularly close in. The guys dissect what went wrong in this game, what went right for Denver, the issues with the stars, adjustments for Game 6, and what the feeling is with this series after the Nuggets took control these last couple of games.

Matt Moore (@HPBasketball) joins Lucas Hann to discuss the Clippers and Nuggets being tied 2-2: non-existent controversies, why Matt thinks the Clippers will win the series, and what to look for in Game 5.
