The NBA Preseason has begun! We know it's just the preseason, but this is the first time we've seen some of these players, and there's going to be some very interesting storylines this year! We start out this week's show by breaking down what we've seen so far. Then, since the season is just about to start, we've gotta make our predictions for the playoff seed predictions. The Eastern Conference looks stronger this year, and the Western Conference is up in the air yet again. Lastly, the GMs of all the NBA teams completed a survey with a lot of interesting choices to some of the questions. We've gotta sort this out and have some discussion about some of the more interesting questions!

This week, we get ready for the NBA season! We've gotta wrap up our NBA Top 25 by looking at the entire ranking! Things seemed to settle exactly where they should be. Then, we discuss what's going on in Minnesota. The team is going to be a laughing stock this year, which is unfortunate for KAT. The "official" NBA Rank has been revealed, and there are some very obvious mistakes. Some of these rankings get us heated! Lastly, NBA Media Day has happened, and there are some talking points! During this time, it's our co-host's birthday, so we might have something cool for him!

After a couple weeks off, we came back with a bang, taking the players we named the top 5 at each position and ranking all 25 of them! There were many arguments and aggressive discussions in this show. Not a lot else can be said about this... we hope you enjoy!

To start off our show, we recap some of the recent news over the last couple weeks, but quickly move to honoring the great Manu Ginobili, as he has announced his retirement. To pair up with last week, we give our predictions for the Over/Under win totals for the Western Conference teams. One of our members thinks half the teams in the west are going to get to 50 wins... To finish up our mini-series of the greatest players of all time at each position, we move on to talk about the Centers! The war is on!!! Lastly, the NBA has proposed some new rules for this coming year. What's new? What's the impact of these new rules? Well... we aren't exactly sure on some of them, but we discuss them nonetheless!

In a VERY slow news week, we start the show off excited about the NBA Schedule and attending a very big game in Boston! We spend the majority of our time giving our impression of the Eastern Conference teams and their over/under for the upcoming year! There's a LOT to talk about! We continue our conversation about the greatest players at each position, this time talking about the power forwards! It's not as straight forward as you might expect... The show ends trying to figure out what rivalries are in the NBA these days.

The NBA has recently released some key dates in the NBA schedule! Some of these matchups look really entertaining! As we get into the show, we make some predictions about the playoff seeds. ESPN has been posting some crazy predictions, like the Utah Jazz being the 2 seed... we try to make more logical picks. Continuing our series of greatest players, we talk about the Greatest Small Forwards of All Time! The conversation gets controversial because... one of the member's favorite players gets called out! To finish up the show, we discuss how strange it is that half the All Stars from the 2017 season are now on different teams.

ON THIS WEEK'S SHOW:

A slow news week gave us a little more time to talk about some fun topics! First off, we have to congratulate LeBron James on opening up his school. This move is way bigger than basketball. Then we spend some time making our All Too Early All Star Game Selections, as well as continuing our series from the last show and going over our Greatest Shooting Guards of All Time. We wrap up the show by giving some bold predictions, and BOY were they bold!

ON THIS WEEK'S SHOW:

More big moves are happening in the NBA, and we've got some thoughts on them! We have some disagreements when it comes to the Kawhi Leonard situation. Our biggest talk this week is about the Greatest Point Guards in NBA History, and we surprisingly agree on a lot of things! We are learning our history! Lastly, some coaches are on the hot seat... let's hope they can wins some games!

ON THIS WEEK'S SHOW:

Lamar is back from his vacation and he's feeling opinionated! He gives the others the work as we chat about some recent news and the Best Trios in NBA History. Then he gets his chance to talk about all things Lakers that broke out while he was on vacation. To close us out, Jeremy wants to talk about the best remaining free agents.

This show did not end any friendships.

ON THIS WEEK’S SHOW:

Free agency is here, and MY GOODNESS was it a crazy first couple days. We spend the first half of the show talking about the impact of all the crazy moves and giving our predictions on how these teams will do this coming year! We've been working our way down the playoff standings, so this week, we are breaking down what the teams that lost in the Conference Semi-Finals need to do to take the next step of making the Conference Finals. We give a very quick run through Free Agency 2019, and finish up chatting about the drama going on in Minnesota. Jimmy Butler has said he's "fed up" with his teammates and wants to play with Kyrie Irving. JAM PACKED news week!
