The Russians came for our elections, and now they've infultrated your favorite podcast - at least for this episode. We recapped the PSF Student Basketball Game in an exclusive interview with Coach McMurtry, and then covered some of the strangest basketball news we have seen this season - What is the deal with Kawai Leonard? How does Steph Curry's MCL tear effect the Warrior's playoff chances? Is Ty Lue coming back this season? Beyond BBI and Take That for Data, and a Jazz-heavy mailbag, Scott tries to articulate why Tom Thibodeau isn't committing basketball malpractice (spoiler: he fails the D-Rose test).
