Host Grant Mona breaks down a somber night in Inglewood as the Clippers' season comes to an abrupt end at the hands of a familiar rival. Then, we look ahead to the weekend as the Lakers prepare to start their title defense against the Rockets while navigating a growing injury report. Segment One: Clippers vs. Warriors Recap and the End of the Season The LA Clippers saw their 2025-26 campaign end on Wednesday night with a 126ā121 loss to the Golden State Warriors in the Play-In Tournament at the Intuit Dome. A Heartbreaker at the Dome: Grant reacts to the Clippers blowing a 12-point second-half lead. Despite the Warriors' stars being on a 40-minute restriction, Steph Curry's late-game heroics proved to be too much for a Clippers defense that struggled to get stops in crunch time. Ty Lue's Final Assessment: We hear from Tyronn Lue, who was visibly frustrated during the postgame presser. Lue addressed the season's inconsistencies and the difficulty of finding a rhythm with constant roster shifts, though he praised the "fight" of his players until the final buzzer. The Offseason Question: Grant analyzes Kawhi Leonard's quiet 19-point performance and what this early exit means for the future of the franchise. With the Clippers missing the true playoff bracket for the second straight year, the conversation now turns to whether this core has reached its ceiling. Segment Two: Lakers Practice and the Game 1 Outlook vs. the Rockets The Los Angeles Lakers held a high-intensity practice on Thursday morning as they prepare for Saturday's Game 1 matchup against the Houston Rockets at Crypto.com Arena. The Luka and Austin Void: Grant discusses the atmosphere at practice with Luka DonÄiÄ and Austin Reaves officially ruled out for the start of the series. JJ Redick told the media that while losing two primary ball-handlers is a "massive challenge," the team's defensive identity hasn't changed. Focusing on the Frontcourt: We hear from LeBron James and Luke Kennard, who both emphasized that the Lakers will need to play "bully ball" to neutralize Houston's speed. Redick's Strategic Shift: Redick hinted at a rotation that leans heavily on Rui Hachimura and Luke Kennard to provide the spacing needed for LeBron to operate. The message from the Lakers' camp is clear: the road to a repeat is harder now, but the standard remains championship or bust. Produced by: Grant Mona Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Host Grant Mona previews a massive Wednesday night at the Intuit Dome. With the season on the line, we go inside the final practices for both the Clippers and the Warriors as they prepare for a high-stakes 9-vs-10 Play-In clash. One team looks to protect its new home, while a dynasty looks to prove it has one more run left in the tank. Segment One: Clippers Practice and the Status of Kawhi Leonard The Los Angeles Clippers (42ā40) held their final full practice today before hosting the Warriors in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament. After a rollercoaster finish to the regular season, the focus in Inglewood is squarely on health and defensive intensity. The Kawhi Question: Grant reacts to the scene at practice where Kawhi Leonard was a participant after being rested in the season finale. Following his earlier comments about the team no longer being "contenders," Kawhi looked locked in today, though the coaching staff remains cautious about his workload. Ty Lue's "Toddler" Mentality: We hear from Tyronn Lue, who doubled down on his competitive philosophy. Lue told the media, "I don't care if it's young guys, veterans, or toddlers on the floorāwe're playing to win." Lue discussed the challenge of facing a veteran Warriors squad and why he believes the Clippers' culture of "gritting out" tough starts will pay off in a single-elimination setting. X-Factors: Grant highlights John Collins and Bogdan BogdanoviÄ, both of whom took extra reps today. With the Warriors' size in the frontcourt, Collins' activity on the boards will be the key to the Clippers' transition game. Segment Two: Warriors Practice and the Minutes Restriction Debate The Golden State Warriors (37ā45) have been in Los Angeles since Saturday, treating this trip like a business mission. However, the news coming out of their practice today at a local facility has raised some eyebrows regarding their strategy for tomorrow. The 40-Minute Cap: Grant breaks down the shocking admission from Steve Kerr, who revealed that Stephen Curry, Kristaps Porzingis, and Al Horford will all be on medical minutes restrictions for the Play-In game. Kerr noted that none of the three are expected to exceed 40 minutes, a decision reportedly handed down by the medical staff to prevent re-injury. Curry's Perspective: We hear from Steph Curry, who downplayed the restrictions. Curry emphasized that while he wants to be on the floor for every second of a "do-or-die" game, he trusts the process. "We've been in these spots before," Curry told reporters. "It's about making those minutes count and not letting the game get away from us early."

The Sporting Tribune Today: Postseason Prep & The Play-In Gauntlet Host: Grant Mona Date: April 13, 2026 Episode Description Host Grant Mona breaks down the fallout from the final day of the NBA regular season. While the Lakers dominated the desert to fine-tune their engine for the first round, the Clippers faced a harsh reality check in their finale that complicates their path through the Play-In tournament. Segment One: Tuning Up for Houston | Lakers Handle the Jazz The Los Angeles Lakers closed their regular season on a high note Sunday with a convincing 131ā107 victory over the Utah Jazz. Despite the dominant score, the shadow of the injury report looms large over a 53-win season. LeBron's Sprint: Grant reacts to LeBron James, who put up 18 points, 6 assists, and 4 rebounds in just 17 minutes of action before being shut down for the second half as a precaution. The "Ayton-Hachimura" Connection: With the stars resting, Deandre Ayton (22 pts, 10 ast) and Rui Hachimura (22 pts) led the charge, showcasing the depth JJ Redick will rely on in the weeks to come. Redick's First Round Outlook: We hear from JJ Redick as the Lakers officially draw the Houston Rockets in the 4-vs-5 matchup. Redick addressed the absence of Luka DonÄiÄ (Grade 2 hamstring) and Austin Reaves (Grade 2 oblique), stating the team has spent the last six weeks building the habits necessary to win without their top scorers. Segment Two: Dome Deflation | Clippers Stumble Into the Play-In The regular-season finale did not go as planned for the Los Angeles Clippers, who fell 118ā109 to the Sacramento Kings at the Intuit Dome on April 12th. The loss adds a layer of uncertainty to a team already navigating a shifting identity. New Injury Concerns: Grant analyzes the fallout from a "new injury" for Kawhi Leonard, which kept him limited in a game where the Clippers desperately needed his gravity. Ty Lue reacted to the loss by emphasizing that regardless of who is on the floorā"young, old, or toddlers"āthe standard of winning doesn't change. The Play-In Trap: By dropping the finale, the Clippers miss out on a chance to climb higher and must now navigate the Play-In Tournament. Grant discusses the mental hurdle of a 6ā21 start to the season and whether Ty Lue's "I like my chances in a series" bravado can translate to a win-or-go-home scenario.

Host Grant Mona breaks down a sobering night at the Intuit Dome where the Clippers' defensive identity went missing against the West's best. Then, Zach Cavanagh joins the show to discuss an Anaheim Ducks team that is suddenly reeling as they head toward the finish line of the 2026 season. Segment One: Thunder Strike the Dome | Clippers Fall to 41ā39 The Los Angeles Clippers couldn't find an answer for the high-flying Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night, falling 128ā110 in front of a frustrated home crowd. The Chet Holmgren Show: Grant reacts to Chet Holmgren's dominant 30-point, 14-rebound performance. Holmgren outworked the Clippers' frontcourt, leading a Thunder squad that has now joined the ranks of the 1996 Bulls and 2016 Warriors with their historic 64th win. Kawhi's Lonely Night: Kawhi Leonard finished with a team-high 20 points, but Grant analyzes why the offense felt stagnant. With the Thunder shooting nearly 50% from the field, the Clippers' defense was "like a sieve," giving up 65 points in the first half alone. The "Toddler" Philosophy: Grant revisits Ty Lue's recent fiery comments. While Lue insists he'd play "toddlers" if it meant winning, the reality is that the Clippers are now 41ā39 and teetering on the edge of a dangerous Play-In matchup. Segment Two: Ducks in the Danger Zone with Zach Cavanagh Zach Cavanagh takes over the mic to break down a troubling stretch for the Anaheim Ducks (41ā32ā5), who are currently mired in a six-game losing streak. The Gauthier Gap: Zach provides an injury update on star rookie Cutter Gauthier. After missing the last three games with an upper-body injury, Gauthier remains unavailable for tonight's matchup against San Jose. Zach explains how his 38-goal absence has completely derailed the power play. Defensive Leaks: Zach analyzes the recent "pillow fight" for playoff positioning. Despite ranking 3rd in the Pacific, the Ducks' goal differential has plummeted to -19. Zach discusses whether Lukas Dostal (29 wins) is being left out to dry by a young defensive core that has struggled with turnovers. Looking Ahead: With only four games left in the regular season, Zach looks at the "must-win" nature of tonight's Freeway-adjacent clash with the Sharks at the Honda Center.

Host Grant Mona reacts to a landscape-shifting Monday and Tuesday. We start with the scenes in Indianapolis as Dusty May's Michigan Wolverines reach the mountaintop, before returning to the West Coast to break down a vital weekend for the Clippers and a shootout thriller for the Kings. Segment One: "Hardest Playing Team in Basketball" | Michigan Wins It All The Michigan Wolverines are national champions! In a tactical masterclass, Michigan defeated the UConn Huskies 69ā63 on Monday night to claim the 2026 National Title. The Lendeborg Legacy: Grant reacts to the postgame presser from Dusty May and tournament breakout star Lendeborg, who played through a sprained MCL and rolled ankle to secure the title. Lendeborg's blunt assessment: "We're the hardest-playing team in basketball. We are the best team in college basketball, and we want to be one of the greats ever. Mission accomplished." Defensive Clinic: Analysis of how Michigan held the high-powered UConn offense to just 31% shooting. Grant discusses Dusty May's rapid turnaround of the program and why this Wolverines squadāwhich scored 90+ points in every tournament game leading up to the finalāproved they could win in the mud when the trophy was on the line. Segment Two: California Postseason Push | Clippers & Kings Stay Alive It was a high-stakes 48 hours for the pro teams in Los Angeles as playoff positioning comes down to the wire. Clippers Statement in Sacramento: Over at the Golden 1 Center on April 5th, the LA Clippers dismantled the Sacramento Kings 138ā109. Kawhi's Response: Kawhi Leonard (26 points) addressed the recent "contender" chatter, emphasizing that despite roster changes, the goal remains building daily. Ty Lue's Focus: We hear from the head coach on the team's late-season surge: "I feel confident in our players. Our goal is to make the playoffs, and if we get there, anything can happen." Kings Edge Predators in the Shootout: Back at Crypto.com Arena on Monday night, the Los Angeles Kings tightened the Western Conference race with a gritty 3ā2 shootout win over the Nashville Predators. Kempe's Clutch Gene: Reaction to Adrian Kempe, who netted the lone shootout goal to secure the vital extra point. Locker Room Grit: We hear from Jim Hiller and the Kings veterans on the importance of the two points as they move into sole possession of the final playoff spot. The message: "In April, style points don't matterāonly the result." Produced by: Grant Mona Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Host Grant Mona breaks down a Tuesday night that solidified the hierarchy in Los Angeles. While the Lakers reached a massive season milestone behind a balanced attack, the Clippers' identity crisis hit a new low against a team they should have handled with ease. Segment One: The Lakers Reach 50 Wins The Los Angeles Lakers dominated the Cleveland Cavaliers 127ā113 at Crypto.com Arena on Tuesday night, marking their 10th consecutive victory and their 50th win of the season. Balanced Dominance: Grant reacts to the scoring spread that saw seven Lakers in double figures. With Luka DonÄiÄ back from suspension and looking fresh, the Lakers controlled the pace from the opening tip. JJ Redick's "Slices of Pizza": We hear from the head coach, who remains characteristically focused despite the streak. Redick revisited his famous analogy, telling the media that while 50 wins is great, there are still "a lot of slices of pizza left in the box" that this team hasn't touched yet in terms of their defensive ceiling. Seeding Watch: With the win, the Lakers (50ā26) have officially put two full games of cushion between themselves and the Denver Nuggets for the 3rd seed in the West. Grant discusses why home-court advantage in the first round is now essentially a lock. Segment Two: "A Brutal Step Back" ā Clippers Fall to Blazers In what Grant calls the most "deflating" loss of the season, the Los Angeles Clippers fell 114ā104 to the Portland Trail Blazers at the Intuit Dome. The loss drops the Clippers to 39ā37 and into a tie with Portland for the 8th/9th spot. Ty Lue's Frustration: We hear from a visibly frustrated Tyronn Lue, who lamented the team's lack of "force" and defensive urgency. Lue addressed the uncharacteristic 18 turnovers that led to 24 Portland points, calling the performance "unacceptable" for a team fighting for playoff positioning. Kawhi's Reality Check: Kawhi Leonard spoke bluntly about the team's current state. After recently questioning the team's title contention following the mid-season trades, Kawhi emphasized that "just getting to spots" isn't enough if the effort isn't there on the other end. The Play-In Trap: Grant analyzes the road ahead. With only six games left, the Clippers are now staring at a potential Play-In date with the Golden State Warriors. Is there enough time to fix the chemistry, or is the "it's over" sentiment starting to permeate the locker room? Produced by: Grant Mona Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Host Grant Mona breaks down a dominant night in Inglewood as the Clippers find their identity through elite shooting, before shifting to the final hours of Dodgers Spring Training, where a rotation cornerstone is facing some serious command questions. Segment One: Clippers Pummel the Bucks in Intuit Dome Statement The Los Angeles Clippers looked unstoppable on Monday night, dismantling the Milwaukee Bucks 129ā96. Grant reacts to a clinic in offensive efficiency that saw the Clippers shoot 58% from the field and a perfect 18-of-18 from the charity stripe. Kawhi's Efficiency: We hear from Kawhi Leonard, who needed just 25 minutes to drop 28 points. Kawhi discusses the team's "locked-in" mentality as they fight back to .500 (36ā36). The New Engine: Darius Garland (15 points, 6 assists) talks about the ball movement that led to 17 made threes, while Kobe Sanders reacts to his 19-point breakout off the bench. Ty Lue's Take: Coach Lue discusses the defensive game plan that held Milwaukee to under 100 points and how this two-game win streak is the "blueprint" for the final ten games of the regular season. Segment Two: The Roki Sasaki Dilemma As the Dodgers wrap up the Freeway Series against the Angels, the spotlight isn't on the stars, but on the No. 4 starter. Grant breaks down the concerning final spring outing for Roki Sasaki, who struggled with his command in a 2-inning, 6-walk performance. Dave Roberts' Admission: We hear from "Doc" on the decision to keep Sasaki in the Opening Day rotation despite a 15.58 Spring ERA. Roberts discusses the "betting on talent" philosophy and the need for Sasaki to find his fastball command before his first regular-season start. Roki Speaks: Through a translator, Roki Sasaki addresses his "overthrowing" and the adjustments he's making to the MLB ball. Is it just spring jitters, or a deeper mechanical issue? Rotation Locked In: Grant analyzes the confirmed order for the Arizona series: Yamamoto, Sheehan, Glasnow, Sasaki, and Ohtani. Produced by: Grant Mona Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Host Grant Mona is joined by Mykell Mathieu and Demetrius Beaver for a loaded Wednesday night edition of The Sporting Tribune Today. We're dissecting a sliding Clippers squad, the Lakers' championship trajectory, and two massive landscape-shifting stories in the NFL and WNBA. Segment One: Three Straight and FallingāWhat's Wrong with the Clippers? The guys react to the Los Angeles Clippers' third consecutive loss, a 124ā109 defeat at the hands of the New Orleans Pelicans. Despite an early 18-point lead, the Clippers (34ā34) crumbled in the second half, allowing Saddiq Bey and Trey Murphy to run wild. The "Garland-Kawhi" Disconnect: Grant, Mykell, and Demetrius discuss why the offense has stagnated during this skid and if the defenseāwhich gave up 124 pointsāis sustainable for a Play-In run. Ty Lue's Adjustments: Is it time to tighten the rotation, or is this just a chemistry-building tax following the mid-season trades? Segment Two: Title Windows and Transformational Deals The panel shifts gears to three of the biggest stories hitting the wire: Lakers Title Odds: With Luka DonÄiÄ playing at an MVP level and the Lakers sitting firmly in the 3rd seed (43ā25), the guys debate if $+5000$ title odds are disrespectful. Are the Lakers the true threat to the Nuggets in the West? Rams' "KC Connection": Reaction to the official acquisitions of Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson. Grant breaks down why Les Snead was willing to pay McDuffie a record-breaking $124M extension and how these two former Chiefs corners change the Rams' draft strategy for the No. 13 pick. WNBA's Landmark CBA: A breakdown of the historic verbal agreement reached today. From million-dollar supermax salaries to a $7.5M salary cap and 20% revenue sharing, the guys discuss how this "transformational" deal ensures the May 8 season opener and changes the game for stars like Caitlin Clark and JuJu Watkins.

Join Grant Mona for a special postgame edition of The Sporting Tribune Today as he breaks down a wild Monday night at Chase Center. The Los Angeles Clippers looked dead in the water, trailing by 17 points, before mounting a massive second-half surge to stun the Golden State Warriors 114ā101. Grant dives into the long-awaited debut of Darius Garland, who finally suited up in Clippers threads after being acquired from Cleveland for James Harden last month. Garland shook off some early rust and a scary second-quarter collision with Moses Moody to finish with 12 points, providing a spark that helped ignite the comeback. Segment Highlights: The Kawhi Factor: How Kawhi Leonard's 23 points and steady hand anchored the rally while the Warriors struggled without an injured Stephen Curry. Garland's First Impression: Grant analyzes how Garland's speed and playmaking fit into Ty Lue's system and what his presence means for the Clippers' playoff ceiling. A Tale of Two Halves: A look at the defensive adjustments that held Golden State to just 36 points in the paint while the Clippers' bench, led by Kris Dunn, dominated the fourth quarter.

0:00 - Yesterday, Bo Nix was asked how he handles all the criticism of his play right now. His answer was simple: delete all social media. If you got something to say, say it to my face. That's a great attitude to have. But some of that is an occupational hazard. You're the starting QB of the Denver Broncos. You exist under a high-powered media microscope.15:25 - Let's preview Broncos vs Chiefs this Sunday with our Broncos Insider: ESPN's Jeff Legwold.35:42 - Clippers Head Coach Ty Lue had an interesting strategy for handling Jokic last night. Don't double team him so he doesn't pass out of it and set up other guys for buckets. Instead, guard him one-on-one and force him to shoot. Well, you see how that went.Ā
