Yeah, wholeheartedly agree on the growing market presence. My kids’ generation don’t know or care about ringzzzz but they do remember Lob City and now Kawhi/PG. I see plenty of Clipper gear around the playgrounds and my youngest’s bball league for 1st graders even had a Clipper team (and no Faker squad!).

The pod with Ralph was such a treat. Kudos to you guys for getting him on and hope he keeps his promise to return. Can’t wait to read his book.

And, yeah, the Blake and JJ reunion pod is another must listen and walk down memory lane. Love hearing them both agree that we were legit contenders 2013-15. Still waiting on the CP and Blake sit down. Someday.

Also, Clipset had Brian Siemen on. Haven’t had the chance to listen but should be good.

Yeah I’d like to think so
He’s been out for so long, came back then went out all offseason.

Not really, but I think he should be ready based on nothing but gut

I would give him the edge based on their prior play, but anything can happen in camp.

From his highlights, this guy looks athletic and fast for his size. (He looks like a legit 7 Footer)
He can catch lob, defend, rebound, block and he can pass.
Looks like a good back up big.
If we want to keep Zu & Serge fresh for the playoffs, he will get some playing time in the regular season.

You are probably right, but I need to play it out a bit. A guy like JaMychal (circa 18-19 season) would of been immensely helpful (more so than Boogie) against the Suns. Once we lost Zu, it was lights out as Boogie got hunted every time. Would it of made the difference in winning/losing any of those games?? Probably not, but I sure would of love to have him on the court.

Really enjoyed the Ralph convo as well. I thought he was super candid and really spot on with his observations. The one thing that struck me was his use of the word “if” when talking about Kawhi and him making it to the end of the 4-year contract. Ain’t nothing guaranteed in life. Good job on the podcast.

I also enjoyed JJ’s podcast with Blake. Good reminiscing about Lob City. That team had their guy (Joe Ingles) and let him go. He had/has the toughness, bbiq, shooting, defense, rebounding, intangibles to be really really good for that group. Jingles would of been the guy to put them over the top as they didn’t need all that much.
