  • 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

  • My favourite basketball podcast

    I follow some other hoops podcasts but Jason’s podcast has become my favourite because of the detailed breakdown I enjoy as being a competitive player myself.

    Maybe a bit intense for some casual listeners, but hardcore hoopers will love this show.

  • Great show

    This show isn’t for fans of hot take machines nor stat nerds. Jason knows basketball but he presents his vast knowledge in a way that’s relatable and engaging.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Big NBA Offseason Questions: LeBron's Lakers future, Giannis trade teams, Knicks back to back?
Q: How much of a contract do you think LeBron is worth?
In a vacuum, LeBron would command the max given his production, but teams will be constrained by cap space. The right approach is surrounding him with talent rather than offering exorbitant money, since the overarching goal is to contend rather than simply pay him the most.
Knicks & Spurs PATHS TO VICTORY in NBA Finals | w/ Sam Vecenie
Q: What is the Knicks' biggest advantage or strength in this series?
The Knicks' offense is highly versatile and space-oriented, capable of switching between Brunson isolation, Towns initiations, and off-ball movement to exploit mismatches, with elite playmaking from Towns and multi-position defense anchored by Anunoby and Bridges.
Knicks & Spurs PATHS TO VICTORY in NBA Finals | w/ Sam Vecenie
Q: How are the Spurs going to score without Wemby on the floor?
Vecenie outlines that without Wemby, San Antonio must lean on perimeter-driven spacing, off-ball actions to free up driving lanes, and internal ball-screen diversity to generate looks; they will rely on the other young guards and bigs to create with drive-and-kick and backdoor cuts, while Towns and other Knicks defenders adjust to non-Wemby minutes.
THUNDER-SPURS GAME 7 REACTION: Wembanyama & Castle win EPIC game vs. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Q: What are the implications for the West and the parity in the league moving forward?
The discussion framed the series as signaling the end of a parody era, with the Spurs and Thunder positioned to contend for several years due to depth and young talent. It also explored how injuries and rookie-scale contracts could shape the league's balance, suggesting a potential Spurs/Thunder dominance for the near term while acknowledging the unpredictability of the draft and offseason moves.
THUNDER-SPURS GAME 7 REACTION: Wembanyama & Castle win EPIC game vs. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Q: Should OKC consider trading Chet Holmgren after this series, given his rough showings and the matchup with Wembanyama?
The hosts argued against trading Chet Holmgren, noting his general value against most teams and emphasizing that Victor is a unique problem. They suggested roster moves to better complement Chet, such as adding a big physical forward and optimizing fit around Wembanyama rather than disposing of Holmgren.
