Do The LA Clippers Have A Culture? Feat. Kelli Johnson From Fox LA Sep 18, 2023

Show notes

The LA Clippers used to have a culture that had a stench so bad you could smell it across the country. Under the ownership of racist slumlord Donald Sterling, they were once considered the biggest joke in American Pro Sports. A culture that was surrounded by losing, bad draft picks, horrific injuries, and a cheap owner who wouldn't pay his good players.

But the Steve Ballmer era is far different. In this episode, die hard Los Angeles Clippers Fan and Host Darian Vaziri is joined by Kelli Johnson from Fox LA to discuss what Clipper Culture can be defined as in the Ballmer era. Kelli brings a unique perspective not only having covered the team this past season but also being a newer member of Clipper Nation during the Kawhi Leonard and Paul George era.

Is Load Management Dead And What Does It Mean For The LA Clippers? Sep 13, 2023

How does it affect the LA Clippers? Is Load Management dead? Will there be ways to get around it? In this episode, diehard Los Angeles Clippers fan and Host Darian Vaziri breaks down the new rules, what they mean for the Clippers, and how they can get around it. He also mentions why Clipper fans should put into perspective why all these conversations mean something as opposed to dismissing them in defense of the team.

What Are The LA Clippers' Goals For The 2023-24 Season? Sep 11, 2023

Show notes

The LA Clippers season is fast approaching and with lower expectations, where does that leave the team in terms of season goals?

Last season, the Los Angeles Clippers were picked by many to go all the way. But the never ending injuries and lack of rhythm throughout the season led to a quick 4-1 loss in the First Round to the Phoenix Suns.

In today’s episode, die hard LA Clippers fan and Host Darian Vaziri outlines some of the goals he thinks the team should have this season. First he focuses on the regular season, how much of it is contingent on the health of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, and how Ty Lue can have a redemption season.

Should The LA Clippers Medical Staff Be Questioned? Sep 06, 2023

Show notes

For years and years, maybe even decades, the LA Clippers have had horrific luck with Injuries. Dating back to the 80s, early 2000s, Lob City, and even now with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, they have not been able to consistently keep their players healthy.

Even this past season, Paul George and Kawhi Leonard were both out in the playoffs against the Phoenix Suns. There has been a lot of chatter around the fan base about the medical staff and wether or not they are doing their jobs to the best of their abilities. Head Athletic Trainer Jasen Powell has been called out as a result, not to mention that he is the last remaining part of the Sterling Era. How much is he to blame? Is he being unfairly targeted?

In this episode, Die hard Los Angeles Clippers Fan and Host Darian Vaziri asks the question of if the medical staff should be questioned and looks at examples of why they are in hot water with fans. He looks at past injuries and incidents preceding the 213 era and why targeting Jasen Powell is a bit unfair. He closes by giving his say on how the team can move past this discussion this season.

Evaluating The LA Clippers Power Forward Problem Sep 04, 2023

Show notes

The LA Clippers' Power Forward position was a point of contention all of last season. From Marcus Morris Senior's major drop off in play to Robert Covington's mysterious 27 DNP-Coaches Decisions, a lot has been made about if the Clippers needed an upgrade at the position. Enter Kenyon Martin Jr., a 6'6 super athletic Forward. But what kind of forward is he truly?

In this episode, die hard Los Angeles Clippers fan and Host Darian Vaziri looks at the recent piece from The Athletic on Robert Covington and his season with the Clippers, including his comments on Ty Lue. He also takes a peek at Nicolas Batum's game against Canada in the FIBA World Cup and what he thinks Nico can be for the team this year and also what he shouldn't be. Finally, he talks about Marcus Morris still being on the roster and what it means.
