  • Free Throws

    The spurs should have more free throws. The 3 guards and Wemby attack the rack. OKC is a team of jump shooters. They are afraid of Wemby.

    OKC wins the FT disparity when the refs fall for their flopping.

  • Great, one suggestion

    My favorite NBA podcast! I love that Zach stays positive and isn’t afraid to give credit to people. Him lifting others doesn’t lower himself, and he does this constantly. Whether it be with players, coaches, refs, or even competing podcasters, he doesn’t focus on the negative.

    He also seems to just have a lot of common sense. There isn’t crazy hot takes. He’s willing to take risks with predictions or other things, but they’re calculated and make sense. I trust his judgment.

    I love Zach (especially with Bill, always amusing), the only must listen in nba pods, but mo dakhil appearances are auto skip. He always sounds like he has a cold & it’s skin crawling. Not his fault, nice dude, good analyst, it’s Pavlovian. Am I alone in this?

A Knicks vs. Spurs NBA Finals Preview! Plus, What's Next for the Thunder?
Q: What is the starting point for how the Knicks defend Weminyama?

The Knicks' Finals Run, and Most Iconic Calls With Mike Breen! Plus, Spurs-Thunder Game 6 Primer.
Q: Is there a modern day celebrity involved with Knicks culture that you'd want to see at the Finals?
Breen mentions enjoying appearances from celebrities like Timothee Chalamet and Ben Stiller, underscoring how fan engagement and the air around Madison Square Garden add to the Finals' atmosphere.
Thunder Even the Series at 1! Adjustments for Both Sides and East Preview. Plus, Kevin Harlan on His Iconic Career!
Q: What did you see as the biggest adjustment in game two compared to game one?

Q: How has Wembanyama changed how teams defend and build for the future?

Celtics Top Thunder and Wemby’s Brilliance With Brian Scalabrine. Plus, Moussa Diabaté on the Upstart Hornets.
