  • 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

Are the Pistons Done? Who has the Edge in Nuggets-Timberwolves & Rapid NBA Predictions

NBA Tiers with Matt Moore | RealGM Radio with Wes Goldberg
Q: What criteria are you using to tier teams, and how are you measuring 'meeting expectations' over the next calendar year?
We're evaluating whether teams can reach or surpass the playoff threshold and extend their competitive window through a mix of current form, injuries, and offseason moves that could push them toward or away from title contention.
James Harden Wants Out, Best Giannis Trade Packages and Mailbag
Q: What do you want to happen? Do you want to see Giannis come back here and play a couple more games in a Bucks jersey?
I think if Giannis was just like, hey, I'm not happy with this... I'd kind of just like to root the bandaid off and have it be done, because the whole season has been annoying.
