    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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Fallout From Jalen Williams's Injury and a Breakdown of the Undefeated and Winless Teams!
Q: Are you panicking about the New York Knicks?
Beck is not panicking about an 0-3 start, noting that the team has earned patience after winning a championship. He flags the accumulated minutes of key players and the demands of another long season as concerns.
The Fallout From Jalen Williams's Injury and a Breakdown of the Undefeated and Winless Teams!
Q: Do you think the Thunder, assuming J-Dub is out for the season, let's just assume it. We don't know everything, but these things, when this kind of thing happens, tends to be a while, can they still win the NBA championship?
Beck says they can because the Thunder have already won without Williams, still have substantial talent and may benefit if other contenders also face injuries. He adds that salary restrictions and the players they have moved leave little room for error.
The NBA’s Injury Epidemic, Rookie Review, and Ty Jerome on the Grizzlies!
Q: What made you think this was the right time to look back at the Oklahoma City Thunder team for your book?
Abrams said enough time had passed for people involved to reflect clearly on what the era meant, while the league had changed substantially since Durant, Harden, and Westbrook entered it.
The NBA’s Injury Epidemic, Rookie Review, and Ty Jerome on the Grizzlies!
Q: How did you get good at floaters, and how did you realize they could be an efficient skill for you?
Jerome said his college trainer had him practice floaters in volume, much like players practice threes. Because he was not especially athletic or dominant at the rim, he worked on awkward finishes that make it harder for defenders to time his shots.
Roundtable Preview With Stan Van Gundy! Plus, How Good Are the Lakers?
Q: What was your pick for that swing factor?
Van Gundy says the championship picture depends on how opponents attack Victor Wembanyama physically and whether he can maintain his effectiveness through that contact.
