Apologies for our delayed second episode! We recorded a few weeks ago but had some delays in posting.

This episode covers the biggest offseason basketball news, led by the NBA’s punishment of the Clippers and what it could mean for Kawhi Leonard, the Raptors, and the league’s broader accountability issues. Sheriff and Elena also share their TV picks for the stat line segment, then wrap with a free agency check-in and a few “what could have been” player reflections.

In today’s episode, Elena & Sheriff give their latest S.T.A.T.-line, discuss developments in the Kawhi Leonard saga and the theory its origins are rooted in (hint: it’s a curse?... can hints be questions?...), Russell Westbrook’s retirement announcement and what he meant to the game, our respective teams, and how he’s probably the true pettyweight champion, and three key NBA players still without a team as we reach the tail-end of free agency, with speculation of where they may land.
