Game Theory

In this episode, Mark Schindler joins the show to break down the NBA's most likely break out players in 2022-23. The way we're doing this is simple. We go back and forth, choosing three players each and diving deep into each of them and explaining why we're all in on each of these players. 

Adam Spinella joins the episode to break down a few things. First! We chat about the Tyler Herro extension and why extensions will look pretty wild over the next couple of weeks. Then, we chat about the Larry Nance and Steven Adams extensions, and if extending bigs at lower cap hits still have value.

Danny Leroux joins the show to break down the NBA Trade Market in the preseason. We dive deep into some of the players that could move throughout the season, but also talk about how rare it is that we enter the season with seemingly few stars available. But we also talk about Jae Crowder, Mike Conley, Jordan Clarkson, Jakob Poeltl, Myles Turner, Deandre Ayton a bit, D'Angelo Russell, Harrison Barnes, and plenty others that feature on the mid-tier starter/high-end starter market. 

In this episode, Sam chats with James Edwards from The Athletic about NBA Media Days. We scanned across the league and found all of the important, newsworthy things that happened over the last 24 hours so you don't have to. Those items include: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is not on the trade block; The Suns don't seem to be in an awesome place; Zion Williamson looks jacked again; the Lakers have some things to figure out; The Nets have some things to figure out; The Celtics found out about Ime Udoka on Twitter like everyone else; Myles Turner understands that a trade could happen; Draymond Green and Jordan Poole haven't extended yet, but are comfortable going into the season without them; and MUSCLE WATCH 2022.

Adam Spinella joins the show to dive deep into some NBA news and notes. First, we chat briefly about the Ime Udoka suspension in Boston. Then, we move to the Bojan Bogdanovic trade to Detroit, and why more teams should be willing to make moves like this. Then, we jump into Jae Crowder's trade request, and the C.J. McCollum and Dean Wade extensions.

In this episode, I chat with the 3 Man Weave, our favorite college basketball analysts here at the show, to break down the upcoming season in conjunction with the release of The Almanac, a new college basketball online magazine that will go on sale next week.

Adam Spinella joins Sam Vecenie to do two things. First, we break down what was the best Victor Wembanyama offensive game that I've seen, a 34-point early season game against Hapoel Holon. We explain the context behind the game, and explain what made us so excited about Wembanyama's terrific performance. 

It's time for one of our favorite yearly episodes here on the podcast, our win total over/unders with Robby Kalland. Using BetMGM's odds, we chat with Robby and dive deep into every NBA team's over/under win total in the Eastern Conference. We also make it abundantly clear which ones we actually like, and the other ones that we will stay completely and utterly away from because they're good numbers.

It's time for one of our favorite yearly episodes here on the podcast, our win total over/unders with Robby Kalland. Using BetMGM's odds, we chat with Robby and dive deep into every NBA team's over/under win total in the Western Conference. We also make it abundantly clear which ones we actually like, and the other ones that we will stay completely and utterly away from because they're good numbers. But before we do that, we spend 25 minutes breaking down why the NBA's decision to fine and suspend Robert Sarver for one year is insufficient.
