I really like this podcast and do consider myself a basketball sicko, but even for me this really gets a bit too deep into the weeds occasionally. Also, they can be annoyingly contrarian sometimes. Can you just admit that the way Bam scored his 83 points was a little cringy and unsatisfying to watch? The guy was just jacking up shots at the end and most of his points from 60 to the end were gifts from the wizards playing some of the worst defense you’ll ever see
Used to be great, and had a point of difference covering the draft. Now it’s just another ball podcast. Sad
This is literally game theory it is called game theory get out also your podcasts are bad (no offense ofcorce)😀
Sam every single time he guesses the wrong answer to a question: “THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY SECOND GUESS.”
Couple weeks of Pistons in 1st place and Brice forgets how to be unbiased
