4.1 out of 5 stars from 4.1k ratings
  • {weekly} reliable & kinda cathartic

    Yet again waiting on the wheel to land on the Knicks or Pelicans but Saturday Slam & Jam / Trivia with Andrew & Alex deadass is one of the things that actually helps me get debummed about the state of the world.

  • Changed format is still a bummer

    The old format was chaotic but so much more interesting. Nerder She Wrote, the Sam Amick one, Slam N Jam (the best podcast ever); these were great. Instead of the immediate takes that we get here where they’re just dying for content (literally, even when none exists) you had these nicely thought out shows with very different personalities and vantage points. Anyway, sorry y’all, but this is just like every other podcast now. If not for Saturday Slam n Jam I would unsubscribe. It’s a thirsty conc... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Knicks + Nuggets choke, Raptors stay alive
Q: What is your biggest takeaway from this game?
Fred Katz emphasizes that the Hawks outplayed the Knicks across the board, pointing to the detailed game flow, lineup decisions, and the Knicks' need to tighten execution and protect key matchups down the stretch. He notes internal dynamics like Brunson's defense and Bridges' handling and how adjustments in these areas could change game four.
Pistons bounce back + J Dub injured in Thunder win
Q: What happened in the Pistons' locker room at halftime that sparked the turnaround?
Hunter Patterson describes a moment of accountability with multiple voices in the locker room, JB (Dwane Casey) reinforcing a no-more-bads mindset, and the team collectively taking ownership to write the wrongs from the first half, which set up their big third-quarter surge.
Wemby's concussion + Blazers have a chance?
Q: What percentage chance does Jared Weiss give for a return in game three for Victor Wembanyama?
Weiss is skeptical about a quick return, suggesting a low single-digit probability for game three given the concussion protocol and typical post-concussion recovery timelines in the postseason.
Wolves & Hawks steal game 2s
Q: What stood out about the Hawks' win and CJ McCollum's performance in this game?
CJ McCollum was pivotal, scoring 32 points and delivering a clutch game-winner, which underscored his value in high-pressure moments and helped Atlanta steal a game in New York.
J Dub returns for OKC + Are the Lakers title contenders?
Q: What has changed for the Lakers to become a potential playoff threat, and how sustainable is that compared to earlier in the season?
The hosts credit improved health, greater continuity, and clear role definitions led by LeBron James taking a more defined, supporting role alongside Luka, which has boosted additive defense and ball movement, making them more cohesive and capable of contending in a playoff series.
