How The LA Clippers Got Their Best Win Of The Season Vs Dallas Nov 27, 2023

Show notes

The LA Clippers looked to bounce back from their loss against the New Orleans Pelicans in the second half of a back to back vs the Dallas Mavericks. Not only did they bounce back, they had their best performance of the season relative to who they played. The Dallas Mavericks were held to below 40 percent shooting and never really threatened the Los Angeles Clippers.

In this episode, die hard Clippers fan and Host Darian Vaziri breaks down why he thinks it was the best performance of the season and how they were able to contain Dallas defensively. In the second segment, he looks at the play of Paul George and Russell Westbrook. Kawhi Leonard had an uncharacteristically bad shooting night. Some are starting to worry with him only shooting 45 percent to start the season, as well as averaging only twenty points. In the 3rd segment, Darian talks about why Kawhi is so effective regardless of scoring and why Clipper fans shouldn't worry.

Clippers To Sign Daniel Theis + Westbrook vs Harden..Who Starts? Nov 16, 2023

Show notes

The LA Clippers lost some front court depth when they made the trade for James Harden. But things got worse when center Mason Plumlee went down against the New York Knicks and was ruled out for two months with a knee injury. The Los Angeles Clippers are now smaller than ever and need some insurance backing up Ivica Zubac. Enter Daniel Theis, recently bought out by the Indiana Pacers and Gold Medal winner at the FIBA World Cup this past Summer. He is expected to sign with the Clippers and fulfill Mason‘s role until he can return.

In this episode, diehard LA Clippers fan and host Darian Vaziri talks about the Daniel Theis signing and how good it is for the Clips and also looks at the numbers to compare James Harden‘s production with the starters with Russell Westbrook production with the starters. He makes the case for both players to start.
