The VanSlam is back this week to chat about the serging #WeTheNorth and their 5 game winning streak. The Philadelphia 76ers were on a streak before a couple of tough losses to the Wizards and the Mavericks. The Eastern Conference is super tight and the Brooklyn Nets are falling. Could we see a trade for James Harden and Ben Simmons?

Fred VanVleet was named an NBA All-Star Reserve and we talk about the rest of the all-stars for the 2022 festivities. Then we get into the Rising stars game and how it could be the pinnacle of the NBA All-Star Weekend in the future. Could the NBA benefit from pushing younger players?

And then we answer your questions from Twitter about changing rules to the NBA and the Winter Olympics. Can the NBA call the rules? Fewer timeouts and more trampolines.
