Lucas, Rob, and Shap are finally back after some time off to talk about this interesting new look Clipper team, trying to find their stride with the play-in approaching. What are big takeaways from the last month or so, who's impressing? What does the crew think of the new starters? What is this current roster's upside and downside?

Rob and Shap get together to talk about a string of impressive play by the Clippers, highlighted by new addition Darius Garland and a solid win over a good Knicks team. The guys hand out medals, talk about the Bennedict Mathurin rollercoaster, and continue to wonder at the great play of Kawhi Leonard. How good could this team be? Is there more paper eating in the future?

Lucas and Shap get together to talk about these exciting new look Clippers, now with Darius Garland. The guys hand out some medals, talk about Yanic's unfortunate injury, and look ahead to the rest of this jam packed March that'll determine where LAC finishes in the pack out west.

Lucas and Shap get together to talk about a tough 3 games in 4 nights stretch of basketball that all came down to the final shot. The Clippers, still without Darius Garland and without John Collins for half of these games, stumbled to 1-2 after an initial exhilirating game against Denver. The guys hand out medals, talk about how the Clippers are keeping close and just what they're missing not having Garland. They also talk a bit about Yanic's play in this last game against Orlando.

Rob and Shap get together to talk about another character win for these short-handed Clippers, this time in Houston.

Then, they talk a little bit about Chris Paul's retirement, and the excitement behind the eventual coming of Darius Garland.

Rob and Shap get together after a frankly bit surprising blowout win in Minnesota, where the Clippers still don't have their return from the Zu/Harden deals but still managed a fairly easy wire to wire win over the Wolves, 115-96. The guys hand out some medals to catch up to the games that have been overshadowed by trades, and look forward to these new look Clips that are coming. Shap also spends a moment remniscing about a favorite player that is now gone in Ivica Zubac.
