SIT UP TALL! Shannon Sharpe CHECKS Kendrick Perkins over Lakers & Clippers takes! 🔥 | First Take

Right and their 150 145 win over the Pacers LeBron one of four Lakers to score over 25 in the win and the team are now winners of three straight meanwhile the Clippers struggling as they lost big to the Joel em beida Sixers James Harden went 0 for six from

The three-point line in his first game against his former team and he didn’t speak to the media after the game so it’s been quite the fall for the Clippers who many on this show favored to make the finals at one point since the All-Star break they’re one in eight

Vers winning team I’m going to start with you which was the bigger deal Shannon’s Lakers winning or the Clippers losing the Clippers losing the Clippers losing and and let me explain to you why Molly the Clippers when you look at their roster they have one of the

Deepest if not the deepest rosters in the NBA they’re built to win now meaning go going and completing the mission if they’re locked in if they’re healthy they have all the pieces that they need when it comes to the center position the wing position the coaching position they

Have everything now what they are missing right now is their guy their leader their heartbeat and Russell Westbrook now when he comes back he’s obviously going to change the whole morale of that team bring the Swagger back and all that but as of right now we have the the Clippers with high

Expectations especially though I do I have them with high expectations because of their death and for for them to drop a game and been losing games the way that they’ve been losing after the allstar break it’s it’s it’s a real concern there and it’s worrisome oh but you know what perk as

Long as they don’t play at noon they’ll be fine because that’s what you’re going to talk it up to remember a couple of weeks ago you was talking about the oh the NBA did them a disservice got them playing at noon and then play another

Game at noon a couple of days later why they do that oh the Clippers run La now all of sudden now pick up sit up in your chair sit up in your chair I need you to hear this conversation sit up tall yeah yeah I’ve been waiting for you

I’ve been waiting for you what’s all this Brash and this bravado you were talking earlier about how great the Clippers are and they run LA and they’re the team that’s most equipped adapt the handmer the Nuggets now all of a sudden look at you well when they get their

Heartbeat back uh they got everything they need they got guards they got Wings they got big they got coaches they’re one and8 after the allstar break against 500 teams guess what’s going to be in the playoff perk 500 of better teams really good team so all this notion that

You everybody was talking about earlier oh the the Clippers oh I did Clippers the Clippers the Clippers what happened now are you going to blame it on the 12:00 start like you did all the other losses no I’m not I’m not and look they still have time to get it together but

But but Shannon hold on what is is your point what are you saying you saying that it’s a bigger are you saying that it’s a bigger deal cuz you still haven’t answered the question jumped on I want to jump on you I want to jump on you

With both feet first then I get you that’s fine that’s fine the Lakers the lake the Lakers because the Houston Rockets are coming now I didn’t we didn’t anticipate the Golden State nuggets excuse me the gold yeah Golden State Warriors excuse me nugget the Golden State Warriors going

Into this Tail Spin and now all of a sudden you got the Rockets a game behind them cuz at worst case scenario the one thing that you want to happen you want a game to be at home you want to hey you want to keep what you going to be in the

Play in there’s nothing they can do about that they can’t win enough games with the amount of games that’s remaining perk to move up to that six spot so at the worst case scenario I want at least one home game I don’t hey I don’t because if I get one home game I

Win I go and if I get if I don’t if I lose and I’m on the wrot I’m done with I’m done with the playoffs the Lakers have the type of team that you thought the Clippers had because we got goat James and Anthony Davis has been on a

Mission you said you wanted to see him stay healthy you wanted him to play like the talent suggest that he the talent that he is he’s giving you that didn’t wit he did a great job last night filling in for DLo D’s been great since that trade deadline we still telling him

We Whispering his ear you know the trade deadline still out there cuz he been balling we ain’t gonna let him know that the trade deadline over and we can’t move it you you know what that is up no you know what that is you know what that is

Miley it’s a old saying you can smell doooo before you see it we’ve been smelling doooo the whole season long when it comes down to the Lakers like they they sitting in a nice spot so what are we talking about first of all they got to get into the postseason that’s

Number one so when I’m looking at the when I’m looking at the Clippers when I’m looking at the Clippers it’s a bigger deal because of the expectations LeBron James don’t even have expectations for this Lakers team he knows that they trash he knows that they can’t make any noise that’s why you

Along with LeBron was the reason was one of the ones at the trade deadline include myself saying trade get you another star in there get you a wing Defender because we all know if they happen to get up against the Sacramento Kings we know how the Sacramento Kings

Own them we know how sabonis owns ad in that matchup and then if they happen to get to that next round or play against a Dallas Mavericks in the play in tournament you sure you want to go on the road and play against a Luca donic or Kyrie Irving the way that they’ve

Been falling perk this is what we know all that what you said could be true but the Clippers are never the Clippers will never have the expectations of goat James you know that I know that you put you can say whatever you want to say there’ll never ever be the expectations

On the the Clippers as they are LeBron James regardless of the team that he’s on you know that I know that sh Shannon Shannon listen to me for a second LeBron James is 39 years old it’s no expectations on him right now we’re talking about a guy that’s going to be

Qualifying for his pension in six years what the hell are we talking about it’s no expectations on him right now he’s 39 perk perk perk there’s a different set of rules and regul and guidelines for him yeah I get that I get what you said about 39 but he’s LeBron

James he’s regarded by many as the first or second greatest player to ever play a play the game of basketball those expectations never go away for him for him because the left his level of play has it declined perk oh okay well let me ask you a question let me ask you a

Question do kawhai Leonard and Paul George did they have expectations or do they have expectations on on them since they joined the Clippers just yes not not not not to the level of LeBron yes yes it is you know why because Kawai had an opportunity to

Actually go to the Lakers when he left Toronto but he Cho he chose to go to the and he regret that every day of his life and he regret and and and I don’t think he believe that no no no no no no no no no do does Ka wild Leonard and Paul

George have expectations to get it done in a Clippers uniform yeah yes or no Pat perk I said yes but I don’t believe they have the level of expectation as LeBron that’s what I said I answered the question perk always holding folks accountable he knows the rulle of the

First yeah hey to accountable hold him Clippers accountable okay well the Clippers are currently fourth in the west your Lakers Shannon ninth better keep okay hey the difference is M between us and the Clippers it doesn’t matter we can be the eight seed the one seed or Mustard Seed Lakers And
