  • Awesome NBA analysis!

    Jason is engaging in his deep dive takes in basketball thoughts are impressive. It’s obvious that he has experience playing ball enough to be able to take what he sees and recognize all the nuance that other shows often skip over.

  • Great show, but I can’t listen!

    The show is amazing, five stars. But am I the only one that cannot listen to 3/4 of the episodes? Most of the time I get an error message when I try to listen to one. Timpf if goated though.

  • RE: The Ethical Hoops Rant

    Great podcast, Jason. I appreciate your attempt to be unbiased when it comes to calling out flopping. Especially the way OKC has carte blanche to molest opponents, while SGA and Holmgren commit some of the worst flops I’ve ever seen. Jokic is especially hilarious, considering he hacks opponents under the basket non-stop and almost never fouls out. And, as a Lakers fan, I have to laugh at and be embarrassed by some of the flops I’ve seen by Doncic and Smart this year. But I have a bone to pick wi... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

DEBATE: Wemby vs. SGA vs. Jokic + why Luka Doncic is in 4th | NBA Rankings Mailbag
Q: First question. Hey Jason, I agree Shai's postseason numbers do drop and he can struggle to find different ways to score. What is your take on Shai vs. Wembanyama vs. Jokic in this context?
Shai's playoff context matters a lot; his lack of secondary shot creation and injuries around him influenced his efficiency, but his long-term trajectory and defensive impact still position him as a top-tier player, though Jokic and Wembanyama have ceiling advantages that keep the top spots flexible depending on surrounding talent and postseason performance.
Debating LeBron James vs. Jaylen Brown + Westbrook retires, Pacers questions, Haliburton's ceiling
Q: What are your thoughts on Russell Westbrook's retirement and his legacy in the NBA?
Westbrook was incredibly exciting and eye-catching, with jaw-dropping stat lines, but his tail end included difficult moments and a less flattering public perception; overall, his career should be remembered for the athleticism, intensity, and memorable peaks in OKC and beyond.
Debating LeBron James vs. Jaylen Brown + Westbrook retires, Pacers questions, Haliburton's ceiling
Q: Kawhi Leonard isn't top-10 for the upcoming season—how do you justify that given last year's on-off numbers?
I acknowledge Kawhi had an elite season when healthy, but his long-term availability is a concern, and top-10 projections require consistent availability and impact through the full season, not just peak stretches.
76ers Deep Dive w/ Spike Eskin: LeBron James's fit, how Maxey & Jaylen fit, keep or trade Embiid?
Q: What is your elevator pitch for why this is or isn't a championship team?
The core concern is health and togetherness; Embiid's durability, combined with LeBron's age and usage, makes a championship run plausible only if the group can stay healthy, integrate smoothly, and maximize the chemistry of a new big-three type configuration.
NBA offseason winners + LeBron's decision, Luka & Lakers roster, Warriors questions, Jaylen & 76ers
Q: Hey Jason, was wondering if you have a sort of winner of the off season so far? Any team you felt has addressed the most needs or has jumped the most tiers in your rankings?
Toronto has made a dramatic leap, going from a non-threat to a serious contender, largely due to Kawhi-related moves and the broader roster improvements; I also think LeBron's status and the potential for Lakers and Cavaliers moves could reshape the top tiers depending on how the dominoes fall.
