  • NBA Europe Trash

    Used to be the best NBA pod. Now it’s just a paid advertisement for the fabulous life and times of Brian Kardashians. I miss when he used to have a soul or care about the actual NBa.

  • Such a good pod!

    I really like this pod, keeps me going through the nba summer drought!

    Producers, please tidy up the eps guys! There must be 10 minutes of umm’s and ahh’s, followed by silence from Windy in that last ep and it makes for a tough listen!

76ers & Knicks BIG Expectations On Opening Night + Major Questions In Boston - Atlantic Division Preview
Q: I don't know. I don't know. I honestly, I know that this is the time of the year when everybody presents their predictions and is like, here's my champ and here's my MVP. I don't know what the six are going to be.
The panel identifies Joel Embiid's availability, health and willingness to fit into a changing role as the biggest uncertainties for Philadelphia.
76ers & Knicks BIG Expectations On Opening Night + Major Questions In Boston - Atlantic Division Preview
Q: Alan, I believe the Celtics are going to be a regular season monster. I don't know yet if I can believe they're postseason.
The panel says Boston has lost top-end talent but could still be strong through its depth, three-point shooting and the development of Payton Pritchard and Derrick White. They see Jayson Tatum's return from injury and the team's playoff scoring as major questions.
Luka Gets Called Out As Lakers Dominate + Who Made A Game 1 Statement?
Q: I want to know what the league reaction was from this frontier being breached with the way the Blazers went about that job.
Miller says the short-term contract was not surprising given the new owner's stated approach. He worries that reducing coaching and support staff could weaken team stability and create a poor model if it succeeds.
Luka Gets Called Out As Lakers Dominate + Who Made A Game 1 Statement?
Q: Can you go over how Kevin Garnett's pay cut and deferred income deal went down?
Miller explains that Garnett wanted the Timberwolves to have the resources to compete over multiple years. They deferred much of his salary so he could recover the money later, though it was not paid to him at the time.
Full Opening Night Reaction - What Stars Made Major Statements?
Q: Where are you at on NBA Europe?
Ishbia said he supports NBA Europe as a long-term effort to grow the sport and build a strong league in Europe, rather than as a competitor to the NBA.
