Shap and Cole (@colehoops) recap the Clippers' first win of the preseason against the Utah Jazz that featured Robert Covington starting and thriving at the PF spot. Kawhi Leonard shot well from deep in his stint, Amir Coffey played well late, and RoCo's quality play leaves another answer to the 5th starter question. The guys think about the ripple affects of who starts, talk about the debuts of Russ and Nico, and talk other notables from this game in Seattle.

Lucas, Rob, and Shap chat about Clippers basketball! Preseason hoops started and LAC looked good in the first half before fading behind their mostly 3rd unit, 101-96 against a closing squad led by Kris Dunn. Kawhi and PG looked good, but Bones got the start and brought up some interesting questions as far as his place in the rotation. Who should ultimately get that 5th start spot?

Rob and Shap deal with the fallout from all the discussion revolving around Jrue Holiday that wound up in LAC losing out in a bidding war to the Boston Celtics. What's left for the Clips to upgrade, or are they in a waiting game? What about Malcolm Brogdon who's the next guard that may be flipped? Plus the guys talk about the waiving of Jason Preston and the controversial Josh Primo 2way signing.

Lucas, Rob, and Shap get together to talk all about the Damian Lillard trade that landed him in Milwaukee, and, possibly more importantly, what Jrue Holiday's availability means for the Clippers. Are James Harden talks back on? What about bypassing him entirely and trying to get Jrue? What of the reports that Malcolm Brogdon is actually healthy? LAC may not have been involved in this deal, but it feels like it has a lot of possible implications for their search for a talent upgrade.

Shap and Jag (@Mjags24) are rejoined by none other than Clippers Play-by-Play man Brian Sieman (@BSieman)! The guys talk about the bummer of a season that was while getting excited for the new year, filled with healthy players, a backup center, a vocal leader, and hopefully, a quiet eye. Brian talks about how he's learned from the years going from radio to television, memorable Clippers, and even a TV rec for Clipper fans waiting for basketball.

We've got a fun one for you today. Shap is joined by Bryan (@NachoAverageFinds on YouTube) to talk all things sneaker culture, highlighting Paul George's shoe line as well as talk on Terance Mann being a Skechers guy. Carl Tart and Tomer Azarly (@TomerAzarly) also hang out to talk about their history with sneakers, which ones they hoop in, and generally just chop it up about basketball shoes.

Lucas and Shap are joined once again by Clipper Legend Ralph Lawler! Ralph comes by to discuss his book: Bingo! Forty Years in the NBA as well as recent discussion on the ceiling of Lob City, memories from the young Clippers of the early 2000s, and the new 213 era. He also talks a bit about his life coming up before the Clippers in radio and broadcasting. Come join us on this special episode, Oh Me Oh My!

Rob and Shap kick off the Player Preview series talking about Norman Powell, Amir Coffey, and a bunch of young Clipper guards, including the exciting Bones Hyland. The guys think about what Norm's role could be as a Clipper, assuming he stays a Clipper, and the upside for a guy like Bones Hyland. The duo also look at the edges of the roster when thinking about Amir and BBJR, and wonder if they've seen Jason Preston's last game with the Clippers.

Rob, Shap, and Cole (@colehoops) take your Twitter questions and chat about the newly released Clipper schedule. The guys take some questions dealing with a James Harden trade, the direction of these Clips, and options outside of a Harden deal. The trio also touch base on Nico Batum's next season with the Clippers likely being his last.

Rob and Shap are joined by the Ringer's Michael Pina (@MichaelVPina) to talk about the state of the Clippers in the midst of the James Harden limbo. Michael talks about why he's still so high on these Clippers with or without Harden, the margins the team is dealing with roster-wise, Russell Westbrook, and what might be in store for this Clipper season.
