Aaron and Evan tip off with the Nico Harrison firing and the strange Mark Cuban heel turn. That's followed by a Vibe Check with some of the most surprising and disappointing players so far this season (21:12)—with an emphasis on some lesser-discussed names. Then the guys close, as usual, with 3-Up/3-Down (1:19:42), where they get the number of teams wrong, as usual. Still, they discuss the Sixers’ speed (1:20:24), Orlando finding their magic (1:25:41), the Golden State Warriors’ recent struggles (1:28:05)—featuring some epic cooking from Aaron regarding the Draymond–Kevin O’Connor back-and-forth—the Clippers’ ship running aground (1:37:31), and the surprisingly plucky Phoenix Suns (1:44:47).

As always, you can find Evan and Aaron on NBA Threads
