Full Court Press NBA Podcast Episode 158-Jazz Suns Raptors Analysis Feb 29, 2020

Show notes

Donovan Mitchell or Devin Booker? We get into that. Also, why are the Jazz in the middle of the pack defensively? How are they top 3 in both eFG% and TS% and not more elite on offense? The Suns seem a bit on track for the first time in quite a while. What do we make of them that might be sustained going forward? The Raptors are such a smart team and so fun to watch. Did we learn anything watching them play this week?
All of this and more.

Full Court Press NBA Podcast Episode 157-Pistons Nets Wizards Analysis Feb 22, 2020

Show notes

The Andre Drummond era is over in Detroit. The NBA era of Christian Wood is materializing. What did we learn within him, Brown, Svi and Sekou this week? In Brooklyn Spencer Dinwiddie and Caris LeVert are serving as semi-permanent understudies to Kyrie and KD. How is that going? Not awesome. Are you souring on Bradley Beal? We are not. Would we pau Davis Bertans or Christian Wood more this summer. That’s easy to us… what about you? Did we learn anything about the Wizards young players this week?

Full Court Press NBA Podcast - FCP-155 Celtics Grizzlies Pelicans Analysis Jan 30, 2020

Show notes

Full Court Press NBA Podcast Episode 155 Celtics Grizzlies Pelicans Analysis
To begin, we try to share a bit of how the tragedy that took the lives of nine people, including Kobe Bryant, impacted us and the way we see the important people in our lives.
The Celtics are building up to be a real force to deal with in the Eastern Conference. Why do we think that? The Grizzlies have something special in Ja Morant and he is a uniquely awesome fit in what Taylor Jenkins wants from a point guard. What trajectory are they on as a franchise? The Pelicans are an exciting young team but the current roster is a mess. Why?

Full Court Press NBA Podcast - Episode 154 Heat Spurs Thunder Analysis Jan 22, 2020

Show notes

The Heat have already won 30 games. But their rotation has a few players that make us question if they can continue at their current win rate without roster changes. Why is that? The Spurs aren’t special on either end of the court but they are fun to watch. Do they have any capacity for improvement? Did we learn anything at all watching the Thunder this week?

Show notes

Full Court Press NBA Podcast Episode 152 Rockets Pacers Bulls Analysis
We know more about how the Rockets want to play with Westbrook on the roster. Capella continues to offer increasing value. They have a (statistically) phenomenal offense and average defense. What more did we see? The Pacers are fascinating in how they handle Sabonis plus Turner minutes and then Sabonis only then Turner only minutes… why? The Bulls are so good on defense and have one player holding them back on offense. Plus our awards for the week.
All of this and more.

Full Court Press NBA Podcast - Episode 151 Heat Blazers Offseason Oct 03, 2019

Show notes

The Heat got a top-12 player in Jimmy Butler and moved on from Hassan Whiteside. The rest of the changes were largely made at the margins. Can they return a top-10 defense? Do they have enough shooting to surround Butler? Is Justise Winslow ready to take a significant step? The Blazers new roster is loaded with guards and bigs and now much in the way of wing depth. What are they trying to accomplish with this roster construction? Why is Damien Lillard not getting any MVP odds from Vegas?
