Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 930 ratings
  • Too much bias

    I am Laker Fan and I listen to many pods. But the coverage is usually negative towards the lakers even though they win 50 + wins consistently. At what point do you just say you are wrong

  • Good Take

    Insightful with some good discussions but the new music ends so abruptly I can’t help but chuckle. It almost feels like an SNL thing. Still, good show if you know ball.

  • Great content, bad production

    The dialogue on RealGM Radio is generally very high level and the commentary is unique. In that way it is a 5 star show. But routinely the production falls very short with balancing the levels of the podcasters and music— resulting in huge discrepancies in the hosts volume and jump scares as the music blasts when they go to break. As someone who generally has to listen with the volume lower, it’s very off-putting. Really hope they figure that side of it out because all of the hosts themselves ar... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

One Week NBA Stock Watch (with Dan Favale)
Q: Where do you stand on the Heat after their 0-4 start?
Favale is close to panicking, particularly because the defense has looked disorganized and Bam Adebayo and Giannis Antetokounmpo have struggled to share space. Goldberg expects the team to improve but says the pairing must work through its problems by playing together more forcefully.
One Week NBA Stock Watch (with Dan Favale)
Q: How aggressive should the Thunder be in trying to win a title after Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace were injured?
Goldberg and Favale favor adding help rather than simply riding out the season or using the injuries to cut costs. They discuss modest roster additions as well as bigger trade possibilities, while acknowledging that the team cannot replace Williams directly.
Eastern Conference Over/Unders (with Matt Moore) | Double Dribble
Q: Why is that? Is there any particular reason for that? It just happens?
Moore says teams projected for 50 to 55 wins often miss their totals because the teams that exceed expectations are more likely to be lower-projected teams, while highly regarded teams frequently fail to reach their expected outcomes.
Eastern Conference Over/Unders (with Matt Moore) | Double Dribble
Q: Matt, over-under 23.5 wins for the Nets?
Moore leans slightly over, projecting 26.6 wins because Brooklyn has more talent and less incentive to tank than many rebuilding teams.
Southeast Division Preview (with Keith Smith)
Q: How many teams do you think from this division make the playoffs?
Smith predicts three, Miami, Orlando and Atlanta, counting the play-in tournament. Goldberg predicts Miami will qualify directly, with Orlando or Atlanta likely advancing through the play-in.
