Clippers Slip Against Griz and Heat Dec 10, 2018

Show notes

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? All this and more on the newest the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!

Clippers End Week With Tough Loss, In Midst of Heavy Road Schedule. Dec 03, 2018

Show notes

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!

The Clippers Soar to the Top of the West! (Briefly) Nov 27, 2018

Show notes

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!

Clippers Win Thriller vs. Bucks, Approach End of Brutal Start Nov 12, 2018

Show notes

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!

Highs and Lows for the Clippers After a Predictable 1-2 Week Nov 05, 2018

Show notes

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? All these questions and more on the latest the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!

Clipper Consecutive Blowouts, Is This Team for Real? Oct 29, 2018

Show notes

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? All this and more on the latest the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!

Clippers Win 2 of Their First 3 Games Oct 23, 2018

Show notes

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!

Win Against the Lakers, Emergence of Shai, and Looming Regular Season. Oct 10, 2018

Show notes

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!

Aloha Clippers! Preseason Debut, Jimmy Butler Rumors, and First Game Rotations. Oct 01, 2018

Show notes

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!
