"they didn't play well" -Kenny Smith "Well duh capt. Obvious!" - Chuck 😂😂😂

[@DirtCheapFU]

Clippers not used to playing consistent this many games in a row. Harden, looking he's losing weight from lack of Trill Burgers. Westbrook, is having separation anxiety from his rage room. PG hasn't stroke his ego on podcast. That team is a wreck.
