LA Clippers dominate Lakers, spark playoff hopes behind Ivica Zubac’s monster performance. Can this renewed intensity push the Clippers past LA’s legacy and keep their momentum rolling? Die hard LA Clippers fan and Host Darian Vaziri breaks down the Clippers’ decisive win, spotlighting Zubac’s 18-point, 19-rebound showing and clutch play on the glass. The episode highlights Kawhi Leonard’s strong return from injury, James Harden’s creative playmaking despite a shooting slump, and contributions from rising stars Jordan Miller and Kobe Sanders. Key topics include the Clippers’ defensive energy, rebounding edge, and how a fired-up home crowd at Intuit Dome is shifting LA’s basketball culture. Discussion covers strategic matchups, individual performances against LeBron James and Deandre Ayton, and what this means for the playoff race. Is this the turning point the Clippers need to claim their own piece of LA basketball history?

AWESOME VID
How do you criticize Kawhi for holding the ball and not mention Harden?
Jmill was getting grown man buckets, I wasn’t convinced he and sanders were the future fr but they’re looking like serious NBA level talents at their position.
Now you're lying on Kawhi!! You don't watch the game dude!! It's evident!!!
Congratulations on making the playoffs Dime!
Kawhi Fans are so obnoxious. I cant. You really feel attacked by THAT????
Sorry but the telecast was ass. Listening to Wade and Parker was insufferable
What’s good Broski?? I saw you riding down Century trolling in the black Tesla. LOL!!!
You are hilarious!!😂
This goes to say that the clippers need to treat every team like the lakers as far as mentality wise
Dont like Hardens performance still made a lot of turnovers. Almost kill the game if not huge 3 from collins.
Lakers actually showed some impressive heart and effort lately, Denver was a half time adjustment and second half comeback. Their comeback vs the clips seemed to come after a mid 3rd quarter timeout.
I respectfully disagree with Darian. Lakers also want to win against the Clippers just as badly.
We happen to be better than them 90% of those games
I don't know if you watched the game Darian I can't remember what you said. If you did you would know why was getting hammered bad in the second half especially in the third quarter and early in the 4th! This is why it was hard for him to do anything!
We only get up to play the lakers it seems #goclips
2:43 😂 we don't even think about missing Beal
🌊🌊🌊🌊
This dude not dedicated to clippers he only here for a check dude make a video 24 hours after the game…
He talk about coaching bball n never played .. if it wasn’t for kawhi no one would even watch the clips n James would have never wanted to be there … u a bum ass clippers wanna be … u suck … clippers talk way more committed than u are .. half the games u don’t even show up to
If you don’t stop with the fake kawhi hate I’m not supporting you.
lakes played dirty AF.
3:00 we missing Beal too
where are you on CP3 now?
