    This is my favorite basketball podcast. Zach and his crew are so knowledgeable and interesting. And they rep the Mets!

  • Tried to change my review to three stars and didn’t work. This is balance

    This is for the rampant wolves doubt promoted on this pod. Kirk was hit garbage on this pod recently. Again a top ten defense in Rudy, a top ten offensive engine, a top ten player, a top ten defender who can get 30 in a playoff game, and a bunch of playoff proven depth in ayo, tsj, Clarke, Kuminga and ddv when he’s back. Also beringer is being wildly slept on. We will be back to make fun of these takes.

    Kirk also makes one of the dumbest arguments for downside with the personality tropes. Lamel... more

  • Drafting Championship Teams

    I love Zach, CR, and House, and I will still listen to them without negative emotions. But the “Drafting Championship Teams” episode is hot garbage. Draft the least legitimate team to win, probably ever, second overall. It was about as short-sided as you can get. When the NBA league office puts a finger on the scale, it’s not something to celebrate.

  • Pina ruins the show anytime he’s on

    I love Zach, but having Michael Pina as a regular gets this a 1 star review. He’s obnoxious and has awful opinions. I cannot listen to a single episode he’s on and it’s a shame that he’s ruined so many good ones

LeBron Injury Update and Giannis Fit! Big Questions With Steve Nash!
