Out of Site: Episode 39 with Tom West May 04, 2021

Show notes

May the Fourth be with everyone in Philadelphia 76ers-land! Tom West joins host Adio Royster on the podcast to discuss the man who has become this team’s “Yoda”. Danny Green has been such an improvement to the Sixers roster in 2021. Tom and Adio talk about what he’s done for the team from several different angles. How Green’s shooting opens up the floor and the offense. How his crafty defense is making the team the kind of defensive force we thought they’d be last year, and how his off the court demeanor has helped make players like Matisse Thybulle, for example, become even better players than they already were.

Tom’s column:

No Particular Hurry: Episode 19 featuring SNY's Ian Begley May 01, 2021

Show notes

In today's episode Dave Early interviews SNY TV's NBA Insider Reporter for the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets.

In the pod they get into: who should be the coach of the year among Atlantic Division rivals: Doc Rivers, Tom Thibodeau, or Steve Nash.

Are the Nets realllly hurt or are they just executing the most shameless load management jawn you've ever seen?

What's the latest on James Harden's hamstring will he be ready for the playoffs?

Is it possible that some key player (ahem Kyrie!?) on the Nets wasn't in favor of the James Harden acquisition?

Is it true that Houston Owner Tillman Fertita placed a "Daryl Morey Tax" on the Sixers in talks for Harden?

What would Barclay center sound like if the Knicks and Nets met, would Knicks fans take over?

Is Julius Randle a max level player? How quickly are the Knicks looking to be players, are they going to push for a Kyle Lowry or Lonzo Ball this summer? Or perhaps a Brad Beal, Zach LaVine in 2022? How long can Thibodeau wait before they decide to go "all in?"

Dave Early returns for a back-to-back repeat performance of the Out of Site Podcast. Hopefully, he’s not as drained as the Philadelphia 76ers on the second night of a back-to-back. The Sixers have lost four straight. The Brooklyn Nets have the 1-seed as of right now, and the Milwaukee Bucks have surged a bit to make this a three horse race for the top seed in the Eastern Conference. Dave joins host Adio Royster to discuss how things could shake out with 11 games to go until the playoffs.
