808s & Fastbreaks

Andy and Jason reconvene after a long holiday break to discuss where teams stand at the halfway point in the season and predict who will be the top teams at the end of the regular season. We also took some time to discuss who we think the All-Star starters should be and talked some Blazers basketball.

New Episodes every Wednesday! 

Andy and Jason look back on a few of their preseason predictions a few weeks into the season to see where they went wrong. Then they shift gears to talk about the new music releases from Drake/21 Savage and Joji before taking a deeper dive into how we've consumed music as the years have gone by and streaming services have taken over. 

The guys get together after a two week break to discuss myriad of NBA topics, ranging from the streaking Cavaliers, shocking performances by the Portland Trail Blazers team, as well as the not so great vibes going on in Brooklyn right now and whether the Lakers have a chance to turn it around after a poor start.

WOOOOOCCKK. Andy and Jason give their last minute takes on who will take home all of the big awards this season like MVP, Defensive Player of the Year and more. We also dive into our top 50 player rankings and give our picks for tonights games between the Sixers/Celtics and Lakers/Warriors. 

New episodes each Tuesday!

Andy and Jason discuss their predictions for the Western Conference Standings. Who will be tanking for Wembanyama/Scoot? Who are the true contenders this year? Do the Blazers have a chance with Dame back this year? 

All this and more! Part 3 will be coming soon with the rest of our burning questions.

Andy and Jason run through their projections for each team in the Eastern Conference. What teams are true contenders and what teams should already be looking forward to the next NBA draft? Will Boston be able to make it back to the top of the East? Are the Hornets doomed for a rough season? Will the Nets figure it out with KD/Kyrie? 

All these questions and more! Tune in!

In the final episode of our music series, Playing it By Ear, Andy and Jason discuss and compare the careers of Kanye West and Tyler the Creator. This is really a stream of consciousness type of episode because we hadn't gotten something recorded in over a month and we were excited to be back on the mic. 

Lots of NBA Content on the way next week! Please listen and share the pod!
