3 & D

Neighbor Brando is back and we talk all things Raps. We give our impressions of a very weird season so far. Then we dive into the financial realities of the team and how that will affect the way the roster is built. Then we zoom out a bit and wonder if it's time to modify the vision 6'9" plan. All that and a very passionate Say It With Your Chest.

Legendary Canadian sportscaster Rod Black joins the show to go all in on the current crop of Canadian hoopers, the NBA's over scoring issues and the state of the Raptors as we start 2023!

Brando and I sit down for one last show before the xmas shutdown and we are handing out all kinds of goodies:. Raps trade rumors! Guys who need new homes rumors! C-r-a-z-y rumors of multi team deals and Brandon brings a scoop!

Brando fights through the Flu to weigh in on how seriously we should take the Pelicans. Then we look at whether it’s time for the Raptors to make some roster moves. Then we lean into some sorta early MVP talk.

Well the season is rolling along nicely and so are Neighbor Brando and I. This week we get into the way Nick Nurse (and other coaches) use the media to push their messages with players. Then, Brando take the reins of the champs and answers whether or not he'd trade some of their young talent for more developed pieces. And finally, we amazingly talk about the Utah Jazz and what to do next if you're Danny Ainge.

Neighbor Brandon is back! We talk about the long term development of the Raps bench, the bumpy road for the Bucks and which team should blow it up, the Hornets or the Bulls?

Harrison Chu makes his return to the show and man, do we have a lot to talk about. Scottie Barnes is not off to the start anyone thought he might, so we examine what we think is the problem. Then we talk desperation trades from around the league and which teams might be prepping to make some moves. Finally, we wrap up on whether the Clippers are actually contenders given how unavailable Kawhi Leonard is (again).

Brando is away but the great William Lou joins the show. We discuss:

1- The Nets "part ways" with Nash amid the predicted poor start. Can they salvage this thing or is it time to wipe the slate?

2- How much should we put into the Pascal all-world start? Is this a hot start or an actual leap forward?

3- Myles Turner is saying the quiet part out loud... is there another player's inner monologue you'd wanna hear?

Brando and I get into whether or not we’ve all slept on the Jazz and Blazers. Then we look at how good Tyrese Maxey has been and will be. Then we talk the dangers of the hype train and what is wrong with the Josh Primo’s of the world.

Brando and I get into the start of the Raps season, breaking down the brilliance of Pascal Siakam's start of the season. Then we talk about the ticking clock that is the Nets and we finish it off with Russ Westbrook and his weird injury reasoning.
