By citing some statistics, Russo notes that it may just be a matter of controlling turnovers and converting on more 3-pointers for the Clippers to be an elite team this season. That's my takeaway at least.

In the inaugural episode of the Settle Down Podcast, Justin Russo discusses where the Los Angeles Clippers sit after just ten games into the 2018-19 NBA season, their statistical trends, the latest game on Monday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves, how the team has handled changes, and answers questions sent in on Twitter. Enjoy!

These matchups look scary. I hope Boban can handle their big guy and their guards are really good.

This game is going to be too tough. Portland at home with no Bradley, Luc, and possibly Tobias? No chance. This game is a win in my book if we just come out of it with no injuries.

I didn't think anyone could be worse than Stu Lantz, but Corey is just not a professional broadcaster. I don't like Ryan Hollins but for him the English language is a tool, not an obstacle. Hollins is a substitute on that 710 station frequently and acquits himself well.

Whenever it turns out to be Corey on the broadcast, I'm bummed. It's too much work to sort out what he's saying, and it's seldom worth the trouble.

Don McLean da bomb. Speaks English, and is also paid to coach basketball on the side. Clips [Fox/Prime Ticket] gotta make him an offer he don't refuse.

Tobias is supposed to be the one under the weather, but Boban is the one playing sickly at the moment. He's missed a couple of gimmes for him. One where he just missed an open floater in the paint and the other right underneath the basket. Granted the last one was contested, but like I said, those are ones he usually finishes without problem.

Refs hating on Boban

I love Bobi finally going toe-to-toe with a real NBA starting center, Nurkic.

Nurkic gave him hell and so Bobi's only 1-for-4 but with 4 rebs, 2 blks and a steal--with zero turnovers in 8 minutes.

I'm good.

The blind zebras are giving some homecooking against Shai right now. The didn't give him the and-1 on his previous drive to the rim and now just called a foul on him on a clean block.

Close game need to get more stops. Won’t win a shootout

While I have little doubt that Robinson's offense will eventually come around given his natural talent in that area, his defense certainly needs some work. He seems a step or two behind and even tentative when he's gotten in the game. It could be due to his slight build along with his inexperience.

Yeah experience will have to be his building block. He looked nervous coming in probably because on the road against a good team. Nik was getting in his head

We need this game to beat a good team that’s healthy

By starting Shai [instead of a placeholder like Ty] plus giving Robinson some PT, Doc is investing in the future
