We're back from a Thanksgiving hiatus to offer our hottest takes on the first quarter of the 2018-19 NBA season! With teams right around the 20-game mark, the crew (plus Husband of the Pod Alex Lester-Abdalla!) takes a step back to assess the state of the league and lay down some pronouncements. Afterwards, we talked about the turmoil in Washington—the Wizards, not the other stuff—lamented the ongoing tragedy of Markelle Fultz, played an ode to Luka Doncic, and more. Enjoy the show—and the presumably improved sound quality thanks to our new microphone!
