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.

Did LeBron play his last game for the Lakers?
Q: Is this LeBron's last year with the Lakers or could he stay if a big pay cut is involved?
The hosts discuss that it feels inevitable this could be LeBron's last year with the Lakers, driven by salary cap constraints and the Lakers' need to capitalize on a championship window, with some speculation about a significant pay cut being required for a continued fit.
Embiid cooks Celtics + Draft Lottery Reform
Q: What is the main concern about the new lottery reform?
The main concern is that the reform might be counterproductive to talent distribution, potentially creating new incentives to manipulate standings rather than genuinely leveling the playing field.
Embiid cooks Celtics + Draft Lottery Reform
Q: What's the Hawks' path to forcing a game seven?
They need to transition more effectively, push tempo, and get Jalen Johnson more involved while trying to disrupt the Knicks' rhythm and generate easier offense through transition and ball movement.
Embiid cooks Celtics + Draft Lottery Reform
Q: What changed in Embiid's game that allowed the Sixers to pull away in the later quarters?
Embiid found success by staying aggressive in the mid-post, drawing help, and then kicking out to shooters like Maxey, Grimes, and Paul George for efficient three-point attempts, which sparked the stretch run.
Cade & Paolo duel + Rockets survive
Q: Hunter, how's it going?
I'm doing well. A lot of buckets back and forth tonight; both teams had big moments and Cade and Paolo delivered a historic duel.
