The LA Clippers will officially be playing Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Chris Paul, and the Phoenix Suns in Round 1 of the Western Conference Playoffs. Without Paul George, the Los Angeles Clippers will have the odds stacked against them, which is something they are quite familiar with. 

In the 2021 Western Conference Finals (the first time the Clippers had ever made it that far), Kawhi Leonard missed the entire series after he had torn his ACL against the Utah Jazz. Paul George was forced to carry the load and despite leading the Clippers past the Jazz, he could only lead the team to 2 wins in the eventual series loss to the Phoenix Suns. Now they swap roles and Kawhi must take on a Suns team with the addition of one of the top 5 players of the last 15 years. In this episode, die hard Clipper fan and Host Darian Vaziri explains what Kawhi has to do for the Clippers to win the series, who will step up in Paul George’s absence as the 2nd scorer, and the impact of Ty Lue.

The LA Clippers were a win away from sealing their return to Phoenix next weekend for a 1st round series against Kevin Durant and crew. A loss would drop them to 6th or potentially 7th depending on games around the league. With games going on simultaneously, the Los Angeles Clippers couldn't really call a mid game audible. They had to win the game. And that, they did. It would not come easy even with the absences of Chris Paul, Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, & Deandre Ayton. Clippers still without Paul George of course.

In this episode, die hard Clipper Fan and Host Darian Vaziri breaks down the final game of the regular season, if the Clippers could have done something differently for matchup purposes, and closes by giving his initial thoughts on the series.

The LA Clippers have 2 games left in their roller coaster of a season. Their home finale against the corpse of the Portland Trail Blazers and the final game in Phoenix against a very likely short-handed Phoenix Suns team. With such a tight race taking place in the Western Conference, should the Los Angeles Clippers tank a game to drop to the 6th seed and play Sacramento instead of Phoenix? Is it too risky given the play-in still is still a possibility?

In this episode, die hard Clipper fan and Host Darian Vaziri talks about how he feels the team needs to approach these final two games in regards to the standings, why the Phoenix Suns aren't as scary as Clipper fans think they are, and the keys to winning going forward.

The LA Clippers faced the Los Angeles Lakers in what was the most important game between the two teams maybe ever. LeBron James and Anthony Davis played, despite their questionable status heading into the game after their overtime win against Utah on Tuesday. Eric Gordon returned for the Los Angeles Clippers while Paul George remained out with the knee injury. It would also mark a big game for Russell Westbrook, as he’d face his former team for the first time. 

In this episode, Die hard Clipper fan and Host Darian Vaziri talks about how Kawhi Leonard and crew won the game, what the key edge they held over the Lakers was, and why Ty Lue coached one of his better games of the season.

In this episode, die hard Clipper fan and Host Darian Vaziri discusses where it went wrong on Saturday, why it really feels worse because of the decision made on Friday, and what the losses mean for the final 3 game stretch.

The LA Clippers went into Memphis without Kawhi Leonard who was ruled out Wednesday due to personal reasons. However, they'd see the return of Norman Powell who returned from a shoulder injury. It was on Russell Westbrook to lead the troops against Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies. And that he did. 

In this episode, die hard LA Clippers fan and host Darian Vaziri breaks down Russ' best game as a Los Angeles Clipper, why the bench made the difference, and looks ahead at what life with Nicolas Batum starting means for the remainder of the regular season.
