  • 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.

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.
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.
