LeBron James: Shooting Slump Or Washed?

55 minutes

One of the biggest questions in the NBA right now: Is LeBron James washed, or is this just a temporary slump? With the Lakers sitting at 2-4 in their last six games, and LeBron struggling with his shooting—especially from beyond the arc (3-30 in his last 30 attempts)—the guys dive deep into whether Father Time is catching up to the King. They also discuss JJ Redick’s comments on LeBron’s desire to play all 82 games and whether it’s really in his best interest at this stage of his career.

The episode also covers the Celtics’ dominant win over the Heat (108-89), the Cavs making a statement by beating Boston, and the rise of Payton Pritchard, who is emerging as a serious contender for 6th Man of the Year. Could he be a game-changer for the Celtics?

The Houston Rockets have been turning heads, sitting at the 2nd seed in the West after a thrilling 119-116 win over the Thunder. Are they real contenders, or are the Magic’s impressive 12-1 run even more eye-catching? Ountae and Travis break down which team’s recent success has them more excited.

Finally, the hosts share their top picks for NBA League Pass games to watch this week. Ountae is looking forward to Hawks vs. Bucks, while Travis gives a strong “not a League Pass game” warning for Timberwolves vs. Clippers tonight.
