Since the last episode of Same Old Clippers, the Clips have lost twice, which of course means a double episode of the show. First off, the guys discuss those losses, and what exactly happened that led to the Clippers dropping both games. Then, they segue into Kawhi Leonard’s issues, which surprisingly center around his offensive game and inconsistent shooting. From there, they move into a discussion on the Clippers’ competition for the NBA Championship, focusing on the suddenly joyous Lakers and the machine-like Bucks. Finally, the two go on a lengthy diatribe against access journalism in the NBA, how that’s damaging content and coverage, and why that plays into the NBA’s weak rankings this season.
