I talk Clippers on the Old Man Squad Podcast Network. Also, lots of FPL, USC in my life.
After a couple weeks off, we're back with a new Talking Ship Clippers podcast! @mattmatawaran.bsky.social and I team up to chat about the brutal 7 games that lie ahead, plus a look back at my first time at Intuit Dome and my trip to Phoenix to watch the collapse.

ICYMI last night- @mattmatawaran.bsky.social and I recorded a new Clips pod. We focused mostly on the big win over the Lakers and what that showed us, but also went into the Zu injury and why it's crystal clear that the Clips need to trade for a center. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

ISAKKKKKKK. Ward in goal means this could be 6-0 or 7-0

Gotta assume we get some idea of his return on word of 3 vs 3 and then 5 vs 5, and then he returns. Spoke on the last Talking Ship pod that something like Dec 27 seems to make sense. Unless he's been doing a lot behind closed doors and he pops up for that game on the 16th.

The Wizards are 2-18, same as the Pistons were this time last year.

The '23-24 Pistons' points margin after 20 games: -179

The Wizards' point margin after 20 games: -337

The Wizards have only lost by single digits *once* (it was by 9 points).

The Wizards might be the worst team ever
That scoring margin is incredible.

This is honestly the perfect time for him to get back into the mix, if he is indeed healthy. FWIW- Clips play Sunday the 8th, Friday the 13th, Mon the 16th, Thurs the 19th. Tons of practice days between now and that Dallas/Memphis road trip which starts on the 19th.
Bill Simmons on his latest pod re: Kawhi- "My Clippers guy was telling me 'Kawhi is coming back before Christmas....I think he's ramped up, ready to go.'" Keep in mind, Bill wasn't saying he's ramped up, the guy was- but perhaps we see him soon?!

What a great win. Shout out Harden for playing the whole second half. What a performance. And Norm, great to have him back. TMann stepped up big. Can’t wait to talk about it tomorrow with @mattmatawaran.bsky.social on a new Talking Ship pod.

Anthony Edwards calls Timberwolves 'frontrunners' who are 'not even happy for each other out there'

The defense that kept them in games a season ago is pedestrian right now, but the issues in the locker room appear deeper than that.

Jokic just attempted a full court one-handed volleyball shot and he missed but it was cool because I don't think I've ever seen anyone try this in a game before.

Jeff Van Gundy not getting a head coaching job all this time is actually comical. The dude is a defensive genius.
