  • Fighting

    Could you spend time discussing what role the lack of fouls called plays in NBA fights?

    Watching the Spurs play the Warriors last night it was obvious the dubs were going to hack on every play and dare refs to call fouls. This led to anger from Wemby and Fox. I was expecting either of them to throw a punch. No one wants to see this.

  • Defense

    Full court pressure is great. Out and out hachet fouls ala OKC is unethical. They are actively trying to hurt people. Look what they do to Wemby. That is bad for the beautiful game.

Q: Which players did you consider for MVP and why did you favor Wembanyama in your ballot?
The host and guest discuss Victor Wembanyama's defensive impact, per-minute influence, gravity, and his ability to lift teammates' efficiency, arguing that these impact factors can outweigh traditional box-score metrics in a full-season MVP context.

Q: What were the extraordinary circumstances that allowed Cade Cunningham to be eligible for awards, despite missing time?

Q: How does covering both college and professional basketball influence your evaluation of players who are transitioning to the NBA?
Size, space, and the ability to translate on-ball skills to the NBA matter most, but context matters a lot—the same player can look different depending on system, coaching, and teammates. The panel emphasized evaluating impact in real game situations and how players adapt to the spacing and pace of the NBA.

Q: With JDub back, does OKC become the favorite in the West?

Q: Why do you remain skeptical about the Lakers breaking through the Western Conference gauntlet?
The main concern is the clash of elite offenses and the difficulty of containing top teams like Jokic, Wembanyama, and Shea in a potential three-series path; even with high-powered offense, defense and depth on the road to a title remain unresolved.
