Show notes

This week we give our NBA Week 1 impressions in our new little seg 'About That or Doubt That' and if you told us that the Orlando Magic, Minnesota Timberwolves were among the NBA Elite after a weekend, our only response would be 'WTF'.
Also in the "Drop" it's been long overdue but we felt it was time to throw out some baller names that we think need the 2021 season to help their Hoops Redemption.

2020-21 Western Conference Preview | Episode 479 Dec 21, 2020

Show notes

Shaw and I break down the Western Conference and dig into the teams we believe are best equipped to make a play for the Top 8 spots and two play in seeds. There is very little argument from us the Lakers are expected to be the top team in the West, so our focus is on which teams have put together the right roster to give themselves a punchers chance to knock of the King and AD. There are more questions to raise than answers to provide in the West which is why it will be a no holds barred Royal Rumble finish to the regular season and we cant wait to break it all down for you.

2020-21 Eastern Conference Preview | Episode 478 Dec 14, 2020

Show notes

We get you tee'd up for the upcoming NBA Season with our Eastern Conference Previews. 15 teams but only 10 have an opportunity to play for the postseason. We breakdown the most competitive divisions and whether Milwaukee can repeat their regular-season conference dominance. We also take a close look at if we are elevating the Brooklyn Nets too soon and if teams like the Raptors, Celtics, and Sixers are being overlooked and disrespected now that Brooklyn has Irving and Durant healthy and ready to go. In the Southeast, the Miami Heat should take this division handily but we think the Hawks and Wizards have positioned themselves to put a little 'Heat' on Butler and the Boys in the sunshine state. So much to discuss and we do it in less than 60. Download and Discuss with US

FaceTime with The Baseline : Paul Knepper | Episode 475 Nov 17, 2020

Show notes

We break bread with Paul Knepper, author of the book The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakley, Starks and the Brawlers That Almost Won It All. The Knicks were probably the most under appreciated team in 1990's. Their style of play separated the men from the boys in the league, and yet with all the talent, and moxy. Having Pat Riley and Jeff Van Gundy as your head coach, the ability to win a chip constantly slipped through their fingers. Paul's book brings us right there and lays out why they were feared and respected and what let to their dismantling. A great convo lies ahead. Download and Discuss with US

2020 Autopsy Report: Heat, Lakers | Episode 474 Nov 13, 2020

Show notes

Our final Autopsy Report for 2020 focuses on the last two teams standing, Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers. No one expected this to be our 2020 NBA Finals matchup but everyone certainly didnt doubt either deserved to get there either. The Heats path to the Finals gives everyone a lot of reason to feel good over the next 3-5 years because they have a young, diversified roster of talent coupled with one of the best floor generals in the game in Jimmy Butler. Certainly there are needs for this team to be addressed but make no mistake the way the Heat competed in the playoffs should give Heat fans great confidence and the rest of the East great concern should they get the necessary pieces to sustain this type of play. As for the Lakers what more can be said, Lebron James has all but cemented him self to be amoung the NBA Rushmore and while teaching young AD how to carry a team on his back, the Lakers could very well be set up for one more run to defend and recapture the chip. Still there are a lot question marks on what this roster will look like going into 2021, and whether they can replicate the defensive majesty the showed to win the championship. One thing is for certain the Lakers (preferably LBJ) will undoubtedly lean on Jeannie Buss, and Rob Pelinka do their Magic and keep the TitleTown Revival going. Download and Discuss with US!

2020 Autopsy Report: Celtics, Nuggets | Episode 473 Nov 12, 2020

Show notes

On this edition of the Autopsy Report we examine the Boston Celtics and the Denver Nuggets. Both teams showed us the potential potency each can display yet when push came to shove, neither were able to overcome the respective counterparts in the Conference Finals. For the Boston Celtics, the slow yet steady ascension of Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum have been exciting yet torturous. Celtics Fan believe that they should've participated in at least 2 NBA Finals over the last 4 years, but now the Opt In Man Cometh and for the Celtics the question that lies is: Do they run it back with Walker, Brown, Tatum and Heyward? Will Danny Ainge flex his Executive muscle and add some quality pieces to their FrontCourt and Bench to really give the Celtics the push to overcome. In Denver there is no denying Jamal Murray and his potential greatness and with Nikola Jokic, this can be a fun and fearsome tandem causing havoc in the West, but for the rest of the roster in Denver, that was Magic Mike Malone and summoning the team overcome deficit after deficit in their playoff runs. Is this team a bunch of overachievers or is what we have witnessed over the last 3 years a true sign that the Nuggets will be major players in the Chase for the western crown? Alot to digest on this ep. Download and Discuss with US!

2020 Autopsy Report - Rockets, Raptors | Episode 472 Nov 10, 2020

Show notes

We continue our Autopsy Report reviewing two uniquely built teams in the Rockets and the Raptors. For the Houston Rockets, their present and uncertain future is financially tied to the two most offensively volatile tandem in the NBA with Harden and Westbrook. This season proved that while small ball is fun to watch its not a long term sustainable roster that can compete with the powerhouse teams in the current NBA, and after losing their architects of such maniacal strategy, the biggest task for Stephen Silas an unknown future Rockets GM is how do you construct this roster to compete without fear or favor to cater to their superstars. Its a dicey game of chance for the Rockets and so far they are rolling snake eyes with very little chips to gamble with for their future.
Further north, in Toronto , the Raptors have an embarrassment of riches and talent in a wide open Eastern Conference that looks like they didn't lose a step with Kawhi Leonard heading to LA. While The Raptors were unable to defend their championship, they did make an impressive run to be second best in the East and participate in the second round of the playoffs. Still with all the positive takes, the tenured guys like Lowry, Gasol and Ibaka are showing their age, and the biggest question that makes pundits nervous is whether or not the talent can catch up with the veteran contributions that has gotten them here. Also has the Masai-ah set Toronto up as an attractive destination for the Giannis FA Sweepstakes. Ohh our forensic examination of both teams are audacious and deep and you don't want to miss out on that. Download and Discuss with US!
