The Austin Rivers Clippers Retrospective, and Gallo Hype? Aug 06, 2018

Show notes

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!

Return of Trez, and Kawhi to the Raps Jul 23, 2018

Show notes

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!

First Week of Summer League, SGA, and Free Agent Moves Jul 11, 2018

Show notes

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. Rob and Shapan are back on the latest episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!

Another one bites the dust. The Clippers lost another piece from the Lob City Era, with Austin Rivers being swapped with Marcin Gortat.

So many questions, and the gang is here to break it down on the newest episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!

Free Agency and Summer League Jun 25, 2018

Show notes

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. Hope you're ready for another episode of the Lob, the Jam, the Podcast!

The Interesting Clipper Summer Jun 05, 2018

Show notes

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!
