  • How you gonna have an 8 MINUTE AD BREAK??

    I love this podcast. I really do. It’s possibly the best NBA podcast going. But guys, fellas, compadres, how you gonna have an EIGHT MINUTE AD BREAK?? You know we skip them, of course we do. But that doesn’t mean you can just load them up this long. It shouldn’t be difficult for me to get back to voices I came here to listen to. This is an honest critique. I just want this podcast to be as great and I think it is.

  • Pardon The Interruption II

    I want to love this. I do. Intelligent conversation. Obviously, you fellows know your stuff. But after 10 minutes or so, I’m exhausted trying to figure out what’s being said and who’s saying it. Constant overlap, two/three voices. I’m going to have to take a break and find another hoops podcast for a while. A shame, really. /M.
