The crew breaks down Chris Paul’s dramatic release from the Clippers, LeBron’s historic 10-point streak ending, and the messy state of the Clippers’ culture. They also check in on the Heat and Celtics seasons, debate Tyler Herro’s fit, and share personal stories about travel, work, and early-morning flights.

In this episode of Off the Screen, Michael, Sid, and Alejandro dive into one of the wildest NBA news cycles of the season. The Clippers’ bizarre late-night release of Chris Paul sparks a huge discussion about locker-room dynamics, accountability, and the franchise’s long-running issues. The guys debate whether Ty Lue handled CP3 respectfully and whether the Clippers’ entire culture needs to be blown up.

They also react to the end of LeBron James’ legendary 1,297-game streak of scoring at least 10 points — a run that dates all the way back to the George W. Bush era. From the play that ended it to the Suns-bench incident and LeBron’s future, the crew weighs in on what this moment means for his “swan song” years.

Later, they check in on their teams: Sid breaks down Miami’s recent slump and whether Tyler Herro fits smoothly back into the offense, while Michael gives updates on the Celtics and how they’re shaping up. Along the way, the hosts share stories about finals week, brutal work schedules, airport chaos, and the rising price of sports tickets.

A fun, high-energy mix of hoops analysis, jokes, storytelling, and heated debate.
