  • Episode 41: Did the Celtics Break LeBron?

    Another week, another episode of Baseline 2 Baseline! The whole crew is back this week with a lot to discuss.

    One of the highlights in the news cycle last week was Kevin Garnett's comments regarding the Celtics breaking Lebron and thus causing his move to the Heat. Naturally, that leave's it as a hot topic on the pod and after a lengthy discussion, the boys manage to find some common ground on the issue.

    The trade market is opening up to include a lot of the players who inked new deals this past offseason and as such the rumours and fantasies have begun. The guys take you through the list of names who have found their way into conversations.

  • Episode 39: Team Canada's Avengers Assemble

    O' Canada! Tristan, Lach, and Ian are feeling more patriotic than Alex Trebek eating poutine this episode, as more NBA talent continues to commit to Team Canada to compete for a spot in the upcoming Olympics. If everyone is in can they get it done?

    Somehow we are already at the quarter mark of the NBA season and the guys check in on all of the awards races as there are many deserving candidates for each award so far. 

    The winds of change are blowing in the NBA as Adam Silver is proposing many changes including an in-season tournament, shortening the season, and having a play-in for the final seeds. Good move? Or is this an "if it ain't broke don't fix it" scenario?

    There was lots more to discuss, but due to some technical difficulties, the episode had to be cut short. Never fear though, if Ben Simmons can hit a 3, the B2B boys can bounce back from this.

  • Episode 38: The Kings Management Will Leave You Speechless

    Thanks for checking out the pod! 
    It's only 2/3 of the fellas checking in again this week for episode 38 of Baseline to Baseline.

    While Ian's tied up with work, Tristan joins Lach to discuss all things Luka and his Dallas Mavericks. Including one of the most ridiculous reasons, we've ever heard for passing over a player in the draft, let alone for passing on one of the best young talents to come out of Europe since Dirk. The Kings' reasoning left Lach dumbfounded. 

    The guys also discuss:
    -Zach Lavine's career game on the back of a fourth-quarter benching and the fallout from a subpar coach trying to stick it to his best player.
    -James Wiseman's suspension and fine resulting from Penny Hardaway (Memphis Basketball Head Coach, Memphis Booster) loaning him money to help move to Memphis. 
    -Are people sleeping back to sleeping on the Raptors already?
    -A whirlwind of news out of San Antonio: A slow start, Pop possibly retiring, Derozan and Aldridge trade rumours
    -As well as a few other topics at the moment, check out the episode to get all the details and some Amateur opinions on the latest from the past week around the NBA.

  • Episode 35: The State of the Warriors Isn't Looking Very Golden

    Welcome to episode 35! 
    In this episode all 3 of the fellas hop on the mics to discuss the dismal state of the Warriors; sans Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, with 3 of the top remaining players facing ailments of their own. 
    "The Washed King" is a false narrative to rival the "We're still here" mantra that last years Patriots adopted.
    Is the idea of load management being taken too far?
    The Suns are setting the league on fire & they're not the only young team looking to gain some respect around the league.
    KD talked about a lot of the drama and occurrences surrounding him of late and in term we're here to talk about a couple of the topics we found intriguing.
    Dwight Howard & Gordon Hayward are looking back to them old selves and we're hoping Blake Griffin can do the same in his fast approaching season debut. 
    We appreciate you checking out the pod, cheers!
