213Hoops: The Lob, The Jam, The Podcast

Rob and Shap get together to recap the week that was, fresh off a Harden-less Clipper loss to the Rockets, 117-106. The guys talk about the injuries, Bones vs KPJ, the absence of some key wings, and hand out medals from wins earlier in the week.

Rob and Shap get together to recap the week that was, talking about a frustrating loss to the Wolves, an expected blowout loss to the Celtics, and some workman like road Ws against some of the worst teams out East. The guys talk about what they've learned about the team during this Norm-less stretch, how they feel the rotation should be tweaked with guys coming back and what moreso realistically feels like the course of action. And of course they hand out some medals.

Rob, Shap, and Jamal (@JamCristopher) get together to talk about a successful homestand at Intuit, give some medals for some great wins, talk about Jordan Miller and Mo Bamba entering the rotation, the enigma that is Kevin Porter Jr, James Harden, and defense, defense, defense. They close with some discussion about Kendrick Lamar's new record.

Shap and Lucas get together to talk about the Clippers pretty normal looking loss over a bad Utah Jazz team, 116-105. The guys hand out medals, talk about the lineup change and recap the 0-3 road trip that was.

Lucas and Shap get together to talk about an impressive back to back with wins in Sacramento and a home win against the Raptors. The guys talk about where the team stands after Ty Lue's usual 10 game sample size, where the play of guys like Norm and Zu has done for this team's floor, the bench play, and the general good vibes from a fun team.

Shap and Justin (@LAClippersFilm) get together to talk about a great defensive effort against the Sixers headlined by Norm Powell and the comeback against the Spurs for the Clippers first win at Intuit Dome. This scrappy team is now 4-4, what are some takeaways nearing Ty Lue's 10 game sample size?

Lucas, Rob, and Shap chat about the week that was, a familiar story where the Clippers ran to early leads only to fade in the second half. Shap also talks about the glory of the Intuit Dome after visiting this weekend, the guys talk about issues in the offense, turnovers, rotations, the Kawhi lawsuit, and the team as a whole.

Lucas, Rob, and Shap get together to talk about LAC's refreshing 2-1 start, including a couple of solid wins on the road this weekend.

Who are some standouts from the new guys?

We're back with Part 2 of Around the Beat, with beat writers Justin Russo and Tomer Azarly. Shap chats with the guys about expectations for the team, tangibles on the floor, and the all elusive "vibes." Regular season just around the corner!
