4.6 out of 5 stars from 3.5k ratings
  • Chris is a dumb guy

    “Knicks are a good east team I guess but not a great team - everyone would admit that) - top 3 offense and top 7 defense in the reg season - top 4 net rating - and has had the best net and making history with their 7 game win streak and margin of victories. You are not tapped in and should consider steering clear of talking about basketball.

    We have enough talent to warrant two more teams.

    We don’t have enough smart owners and GMs. They are the cause of these poor performing teams.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Thunder Will Have A Very Complicated Offseason (w/ Mark Medina)
Q: Do you think that a big swing for a top player is even possible without dismantling the Thunder's depth?
Yes, it's possible in theory to pursue a high-impact upgrade by leveraging a combination of top draft capital and selective roster moves, but it would require sacrificing either future assets or one of the core young stars, which the Thunder may be reluctant to do given their emphasis on continuity and ceiling through youth.
Jayson Tatum Will Officially Return & Hornets are on FIRE (w/ Evan Turner)
Q: Why was it important for Jayson Tatum to return this season despite the risk of further injury?
Returning this season preserves his long-term career arc, allows him to rejoin a contending Celtics team, and aligns with the team's plan to leverage his skills for a potential championship run while managing a careful ramp-up.
Can Tatum Find A Role This Year & LeBron's Cavalier Retirement Odds (w/ Evan Turner)
Q: What did you think of the format? What did you think of the competitive level?
Man, I was as pleased as anybody else. I thought it was amazing. I thought the competition was back.
A Pro's Perspective on the Portal & Lakers Lose Big (w/ Evan Turner)
Q: What do you think of the Lakers' current problems and their solution?
The Lakers need to start strong and be locked in, especially with their leaders. They have been struggling with turnovers and lack of intensity.
Kevin Harlan Is Your Fave Announcer's Fave Announcer
Q: What do you expect from Amazon as they begin their NBA broadcasts?
Harlan expresses confidence in Amazon's potential, highlighting the innovative and creative team assembled to cover the NBA, reminiscent of the early days of Fox covering the NFL.
