How will the playoff picture look by the time the postseason starts? Should the Clippers be worried about not having Kawhi Leonard, potentially, in their series against Luka Doncic and the Mavericks?

P either makes or breaks the podcast
Wow, the Pierre hate is real. He actually has a valid point that Mike and DMills agree with, but y’all singling him out
1:20:11 bro this comment from P had me dying what was he thinking about 😂
Trae Young for Brandon Ingram and sum picks 👀
Injuries and suspensions and a coach death pre ASB.. top 3 record, top 10 in offense and defense post ASB. Soooo disappointing 🙄 They were 3 games from the 5th seed
Mikes 2k tangent was funny
Pierre could be on first take the last couple episodes, I do think Pierre puts in it if effort into his job but when he argues and gets elevated he thinks he’s like a old head laying into something but he sounds like a Whitney suburban high school brat from oak park
Pierre the type of delusional peaked in high school guy who tries to big homie people are year younger than them and act like he a enlightened old soul, but he just suburban kid who never got checked.
P said "Tony Fanew had a birdie"
Love this channel but i feel them 3 hate on kb b-ball knowledge, hes like the loner of the team
They CLEARLY missed the point. The original statement was ty lue doesn’t have an answer all kenny said is he probably does but won’t give it to them, there rebuttal was why would they gameplan for a team without kawhi, what?? Do yall hear y’all selves.
The reason you only have 80k is because other than Kenny y’all only have a rec league understanding of basketball. Just listening to the “are the clippers playing chess” conversation, the rest of the panel could not comprehend how NBA game plans work and that the clippers will come in playing like a completely different team if they know kawhi isn’t playing. Kenny isn’t overthinking this it’s the most base level shit in professional sports. Why do you think teams toe the line of getting in trouble for not giving out the injury report correctly? Why keep it so secret? It’s because they’re trying to hide as much information as possible to make the other teams have to game plan for more possibilities. It’s not like rec league where you have your team and you take out one guy and it’s still the same team just with one less guy. There’s a lot that goes into NBA game plans and it’s not just a basics adjustment otherwise finding good coaches wouldn’t be so hard to find. If you’re only planning for the clippers with kawhi you’re going to be hurting when he isn’t playing and your game plan no longer works because the clippers now have a game plan on playing without him and you have nothing. It’s part of what teams mean when they say they got out coached. Kenny you aren’t losing your mind these guys just don’t know ball and it’s hard to listen to because it’s the MOST BASIC LEVEL SHIT 🤦♂️
P crazy for that horrible argument 😭
Overthinking was nurse calling that timeout in the 2019 finals. He admitted it but it worked out in the end. That’s irrelevant to the clippers making the mavs make multiple game plans. If you only make a game plan for kawhi and he doesn’t play you have no game plan. A contingency plan isn’t overthinking every team should have one
Pierre and Kenny going at it is like UFC 300
Pierre was so off mark I genuinely stopped listening to the pod for a minute cause I felt myself getting personally offended for no damn reason 😂, had to tell myself this is the internet and that’s why I don’t have twitter
Unplugged Idea, just want to hear some plans for the rest of the year maybe some IRL videos in the works. Definitely been missing those on this channel

Pierre was quick to gaslight Kenny 😂
If I’m Kenny I’m making Mike DMills and P do a film session and rewatch this episode. Those 3 came off as jackasses like 3 dudes who aren’t as smart but because they sided with eachother they thought they were right, and especially telling P to cut the gaslighting out. As a MAN that shit is disrespectful, childish and manipulative to say idk why you’re getting crazy. Literally kills dialogue. When it comes to communication skills all those boys are level behind Kenny. Pierre knows basketball but has the communication skills of an 8th grader.
D mills fit is inspriring! ❄️❄️❄️
The scouting department puts together a scouting report for every player no matter what. And the schemes and plays will still be the same the usage will change but the same ideas and plan will work with or without Kawhi. Nothing will change just force Harden and Russ to beat you. Also countless coaches in many sports overthink, Bud had Giannis but kept Jrue on Jimmy and it cost him his job(recent example) or Rui on Joker lol
bro's ego making the pod tough to listen to man, can't even have a civilized conversation to try to understand a point
P is Mr. Semantics. Also misrepresenting KB’s point and not listening, just waiting to talk.
Classic ignant P.
P Mike and D mills not understating the concept of bluffing and how hard it is to come up with 2 game plans and game planing for a kawhiless team is still a hard task is INSANE.
can’t forget about ja’s first game back from suspension hitting the game winner vs pelicans. storybook first game back
for P. fee-now for finau
14:45 San Antonio intentionally benching Tim Duncan in game 6 of the finals that ended with the Ray Allen 3
I loved this podcast before but man Pierre is making it unwatchable. There was no reason for all that nonsense in the beginning…
When P says “u my mans dmills” u know its over 😂
P “ I’m immature “
At the end of the pod “I’m 29 KB “
Dmills lookin like Mark Henry in his fake retirement speech promo with that Salmon 2 piece 😭
KB was right
Tony “Finew” is crazy😭. Glad yall are into golf tho
P screaming and being overly emotional despite being wrong is always a classic. I love D Mills but he's annoying tf outta me in the intros now. Why you gotta be so extra with the fake hype when P shouts the intro? And don't even get me started on his stupid sound effect at the end of the handshake 💀
We need the ball brothers to play on the same team and do a jersey swap with Grady
The dick and balls jersey swap 😂😂
anyone know what book that is on the table
Kenny is 100% right
Looking back at old TTW 2024 season prediction videos, man were P and Mike wrong about the Rockets lmao and now P wanna be a fan
Relationship stuff always is a good topic
P and Kenny was on they phone to much
Bruh I’m feelin a lot of bias against the nuggets lmao
Thibs was UNDERthinking
still doing it in 2024
If the clippers beat the Mavs it will be because Ty Lue out coached the fuck outta JKidd.
If they lose, it’ll be because PG13 & Harden fucked it up like they usually do come playoff time.
Everybody knows Kawhi, Luka & Kyrie are going to show up & perform regardless of the outcome.
