  • Exceptional

    I think it is very educational about the NBA. This is where I get all my basketball news. It also has plenty of different opinions on the show which shows you both sides.

  • Explicit language

    This podcast says it’s clean but includes explicit language inappropriate for children. It’s fine if you want to include that but list your podcast as explicit not clean in the show description.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Biggest Question, Eastern Conference (Part 3) - Featuring Dan Favale
Q: Can they compete without much guard depth?
The hosts question whether Miami has enough lead-guard playmaking and shot creation to withstand injuries and compete, and consider whether Pelle Larsson can develop into a reliable creator.
The Biggest Question, Eastern Conference (Part 3) - Featuring Dan Favale
Q: Do they get a full season of evaluation?
Dan Favale says Orlando should give its players a full season under the new coaching staff, while acknowledging that repeated struggles by Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner could justify a decision by the trade deadline.
Caleb Wilson & The Bulls - Featuring Jason Patt
Q: Who do you think is going to be the one guy where you just think, oh yeah, this is the one?
Patt picks Caleb Wilson, citing his work ethic, potential and opportunity to produce in a fast-paced offense. He also hopes Leonard Miller establishes himself as a long-term piece and Matas Buzelis takes another step.
Caleb Wilson & The Bulls - Featuring Jason Patt
Q: What are you looking forward to the most seeing out of Caleb this year? Like, what do you want to see him expand his game with? What do you think already is NBA level ready?
Patt says the Bulls are giving Wilson opportunities to develop as a wing creator, including handling the ball and running actions. His handle and decision-making need work, but he has shown scoring flashes and the team should give him room to learn through mistakes.
The Biggest Question, Western Conference (Part 1) - Featuring Dan Favale
Q: Is how much are they going to lean into development and experimentation in the regular season?
Mort suggests the goal is to balance development with experiment-driven minutes, weighing how much to push youth versus fielding a competitive lineup as contracts rise and future flexibility matters.
