On this week’s episode, we bring back the All-NBA discussion from last week after learning about a few players that have position flexibility on the ballot. We then create a bank of players that should be in the conversation for the All-Defensive teams. We follow that by laying out our top 5 players per position for this season. Segment 2 is all about the NBA Awards as we each share who should win each award. Last, we dive into the current playoff picture and what we want to see in the last week of the regular season.

In episode 7 of All Blocks Covered, we dive into Suns/Jazz, Nuggets/Clippers, and Bucks/Nets from this past weekend. Then discuss the returns of Lebron James and Lamelo Ball and what they mean for their respective teams. We concluded with selecting all the players who should be in the conversation for All-NBA. 

In episode 6 of All Blocks Covered, we check in on Chilly’s Lakers as Anthony Davis returned to the team this past week. Then, we dissect the Knicks winning streak and what that means for them currently. Second half, we go through scenarios of who we might think will end up in the play-in tournament and go through some hypothetical matchups. We close with what questions or storylines we’re looking forward to for the last three weeks of the season. 

This episode consisted of a laundry list of items that included: the MVP race, Nets (injuries and LaMarcus Aldridge Retirement) and Lakers Check-In, Play-in tournament thoughts, More Knicks love, Ben Simmons DPOY? Anthony Edwards ROY? NBA Ownership, Players that deserve respect, and the state of scheduling/injuries.

As Marcus and Chilly wait for pizza to be delivered, they start off the podcast with a full on pizza debate that completely jumps off the rails. Then, we showcase our first ever fan voicemail segment entitled, “What’s on your mind?!" Here what this individual has to say about their favorite team. Within the main content, they discuss the Jrue Holiday max extension and how that effects the Bucks this year and years to come. Then share their comfort level out of the top 3 teams in the East. The mid-seeding portion of the East is an absolute mess so they check-in and see who will be where towards to the end of the season. The second half of the episode starts with the hot Denver Nuggets team and where they stack up now with the top teams of the West. Last, who is for real out of the west contenders and which teams near the play-in seeds are in trouble?  

The boys are back after a week hiatus for episode 3. In this episode, it’s all about what happened at the trade deadline. What players ended up moving and what that means for their respective teams as well who didn’t end up moving that was talked about leading up to it. Prior this though, they share NBA player comps for themselves, react to the Space Jam 2 trailer and play a one minute rapid fire game. 

They end the podcast by discussing the few players that were bought out and how they effect their teams. 

In episode 2 of All Blocks Covered, Marcus and Chilly discuss trades that have already taken place this past week as well as bring up potential players that could be on the move at the trade deadline. Then, they get into a hodge-podge of different items including some incredible performances, injuries that have taken place/guys coming back from injuries and finish with the Atlanta Hawks who have surged their way up the seedings.
