And it's here again everybody! The NBA is back after another shortened offseason and clearly we could have used the extra time because we are only two-thirds through our preview episodes. Today we've got a two-parter for your listening pleasure, so if you can, understandably, only take Conor in small doses, this is the episode for you.

In the first half, Francis and Grant get rambling drunk and spend a whole 33:25 talking about middle of the pack Eastern Conference team the Boston Celtics (3:50), before mercifully moving on to preview the Dallas Mavericks (37:15) and Denver Nuggets (50:05).

In the second half, Francis sticks around as he and Conor (both disturbingly sober) discuss the Kawhi-less LA Clippers (1:09:32) and the 2016 Portland Trail Blaz...wait this is their roster this year? Are you sure? Sorry folks, the 2021-2022 Portland Trail Blazers (1:28:27).
