Thank you all so much for supporting the Clip Service Podcast in the first season. Tons of good stuff in store so stick around for Season Two, coming soon!  F...

It's been an eventful summer for the Los Angeles Clippers to say the least. After the dust from the Paul George departure settled, the Clippers young players had themselves a Summer League showing, providing one of the more exciting and hopeful versions of the tournament we've seen in a while, capped off by some fantastic games from Jordan Miller. The move to finally acquire Kris Dunn is...

It's official. After opting out of his player option, Paul George leaves the Clippers and signs a $212-million/4 year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, ending the 213 era for the Los Angeles Clipper. The chunk of Clipper history was a tumultuous one, with plenty of highs and definitely plenty of lows. We thank Paul George for the time he suited up for the Clip Show, but now we move on to the...

The offseason is heating up (as is the weather here in Southern California) and Paul George is at the center of all of the Clippers discussions. With max extension discussions at a stalemate, will the Clippers look to take a completely different approach? With reportedly more than a few potential suitors looking to add Paul George's services to their teams, have we seen Paul George play his l...

(Recorded Wed. 5/26/2024 ) After some much needed time to process the frustrating end to a very short postseason run for the LA Clippers, the first big news of the offseason comes to light in the form of the organization offering Coach Ty Lue a 5-year $70mil contract extension. At the time of recording this, the Finals matchup was all but locked in, but we now look ahead to a matchup between the B...

Whether shocking or unsurprising, the Clippers season comes to a screeching halt at the hands of Kyrie Irving and the Dallas Mavericks (oh, and also that Luka guy). More of the same ugliness and unseriousness was in full force in the Game 6 elimination match, and a very hungry and physical Dallas team took full advantage, and earned a trip to the next round, leaving a devastated Clipper team with...

The Clippers suffer their worst playoff loss in franchise history in a crucial Game 5 back in Los Angeles, and are now on the brink of elimination in a season where they added James Harden and Kawhi Leonard played 65+ games. With Kawhi out (and Terance Mann questionable) ahead of Game 6 in Dallas, the Clippers must find it within themselves to decide the fate of this season, and maybe even this er...

Kawhi Leonard gave it a go in games 2 and 3, but it wasn't the return we would've hoped for. With only 9 points from The Klaw in a tough Game 3 loss and out until swelling in his knee goes down, it was up to PG13 to rectify a 7 point game in Game 3. PG and Harden rose to the occasion in a big way, scoring 33 a piece in a razor thin win in Game 4 to tie the series,  shifting the tides to...

The Clippers ended the Brunch Game curse in a big way in Game 1 of the first round series against the Dallas Mavericks with a 109-97 victory in LA (without Kawhi),  but find the series at a 1-1 split after an abysmal shooting performance in the Klaw's first game back in nearly a month. With the series tied up, we hope the Clips can shake off the rust and come out swinging deep in the heart of...

Your Los Angeles Clippers secure the 4th seed in the Western Conference and look to Sunday for the first game of a 3rd-time rematch against Luka Doncic, who is now joined by Hall of Fame guard, Kyrie Irving. A whole lot to cover in this one including welcoming new Clippers big-man, Kai Jones, a discussion about the health of The Klaw, a retirement farewell to the greatest Clipper of all time, and...

In a regular season that has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride, the Clippers find themselves in the 4th seed in the Western Conference, with 4 games left on the schedule. Aside from a sour loss to the Sacramento Kings, the Clippers are continuing to keep hope alive with some incredible heroics down the stretch of games. Kawhi has missed the last few with knee soreness, but his absence has...

Two of the most gut-wrenching losses of the season to the 76ers and the Pacers on back-to-back nights had Clipper Nation in shambles. With the playoffs right around the corner, and the seeding very much still in flux, each win and loss means that much more for this Clipper team. Cut to a 3-game mini winning streak that showed some real gutsy 4th quarter performances from PG and the Klaw; is this t...

With shocking and, quite frankly, avoidable losses to undermanned Hawks and 76er teams, the Los Angeles Clippers find themselves only half a game up from the 5th seed, after holding the #1 seed in the West a little over a month ago., and unfortunately, big wins over the Portland Trailblazers feel like they mean a whole lot less because of that fact. With only 12 games left in the season, this upco...

Clippers lose games (and season tiebreakers) to the Timberwolves and Pelicans and currently sit at the 4th seed in the Western Conference. Throw a couple of (hopefully) minor injuries into that and much of Clipper Nation is on the edge of their seat. Have no fear, however; there's always a silver lining, a few of which come in the form of some significantly elevated play from Bones and, most...

Clippers lose twice in a stretch of four games to Glenn Rivers and the Buck, to the tune of one horrific collapse against a a team without Giannis and Middleton, and another without Kawhi and PG on 22-hours of turnaround time after a game against the Bulls (thanks NBA). The squad goes 2-2 despite those losses and continue to stay in the hunt for a top-3 seed in the Western Conference. The fight do...

After a very lackluster February (and arguably the worst loss of the season vs. the Los Angeles Lakers), the Clippers get back on track and start the month of March on a positive note after blowing out the Washington Wizards and escaping Minnesota with a 1-point victory. A rollercoaster of an episode for you this week on the Clip Service Podcast  Follow on twitter/X and Instagram at @ClipServicePo...

Even rose-colored glasses get cracks, right? The Clippers haven't looked as sharp as they did earlier in the season after the All-Star Break. Are these issues a simple fix or a little more complex? Rola and Nick will break it all down, plus some spicy former Clippers drama in regards to the ever-polarizing Doc Rivers on this episode of the Clip Service Podcast! Follow on twitter/X and Instagr...

The Clippers have trouble again with the size and lockdown defense from the Minnesota Timberwolves, but move on to take one of the more inspiring wins of the season against the Golden State Warriors; a game in which things got chippy and a new-level of ferocity and edge was shown down the stretch from the Clip Show. Rola and Nick break down the ever-polarizing All Star Weekend events and preview a...

The Clippers finish off the Grammy Trip with crescendo with back to back wins against the Miami Heat and the offensive minded Atlanta Hawks. After the usual ugly run in with the New Orleans Pelicans, resulting in an unfortunate loss, the squad found themselves escaping a brunch-time slugfest against the Detroit Pistons in a great bounce back victory. Trade deadline talk, buyout targets, a Paul Geo...

After taking a loss to a red-hot Cleveland Cavaliers team, the Clippers bounce back in the midst of the Grammy Trip and take advantage of the lower-seeded Wizards without Jordan Poole and the struggling Pistons team, although the young guns in Detroit out up a fight. At the time of recording this, Ivica Zubac's return looms with a "questionable" tag before a game against the tough-m...

Your Los Angeles Clippers extend the new winning streak to 5 games after the best win of the season; a complete and utter blowout victory in the TD Garden against the scorching hot Boston Celtics. The Clip Show start the notorious "Grammy Trip" off the right way and hope to keep this streak going. Stellar play from Russ and Mann, triple doubles from Kawhi and the Beard just scratch the s...

The Clippers take a close loss to the super-sized Timberwolves in their first game without Ivica Zubac (calf strain) for the foreseeable future, but take one of the best wins of the season against the #2 seeded OKC Thunder, behind 38 from Paul George. We break down the aforementioned injury to the Clippers' starting big man, some important games on the horizon,  some more pre-deadline trade t...

After a tough loss in an off-night against the Lakers, the Clippers find a way to bounce back and battle for three more wins in a row against the Suns, (a hungry and angry) Raptors, and hobbled Grizzlies. The Clip Show find a way to leave a bad game in the rearview and continue their hot streak of games. With a tough game against the lockdown Timberwolves, and a two-game week vs. SGA's dynami...

Paul George seems to be getting to work early in the new year, as the Clippers start the year off with big wins against the Heat, Suns, and the Pelicans. PG sets a franchise record in Miami, was on his "Bully Sh*t" in Phoenix, and hits 6 threes in New Orleans to lead the Clippers to 3 more victories. Rola and Nick get into the wins as well as some games to come. Your hosts talk a bit abo...

And that's a wrap on 2023!
