While I enjoy many NBA podcasts, Sam and Bryce are the best. Top notch analysis and always a great listen!
Ain’t no way Bryce went into the UNC game not believing in Darryn Peterson scoring. Stop just trying to be different.
Long time listener and usually love the show but the repeated phrases has made the pod unlistenable. I’ve lost count at the amount of times Sam said “in reality” in the latest episode.
Brice and Sam keep it professional, GMAC acts like someone calling into a local sports station.
It’s very off putting how unprofessional he is.
Sam provides excellent analysis and Bryce just agrees with him in the most annoying way.
