Met The Criteria Podcast

In a high-pressured final episode of MTC we have a lot to talk about..

We want to thank everyone who has been involved with MTC right from the start, family and friends for supporting, people who have appeared on the pod (some multiple times to help us out of a hole!), our awesome sound engineer Ethan for helping improve the audio production, and to every one of our listeners! Its been a blast. 

For one last time: shout out to the boys x

In this episode of MTC we discuss the endings to the conference finals and the impressive Boston Celtics performance in Game 1 of the 2022 NBA Finals. Has the start of this series changed our predictions? Is Al Horford ageless?!

Enjoy the rest of the series, boys and girls!

Shout out

It felt like a lifetime but we finally managed to create time to record our first pod in a while! We are back to talk all things conference finals 

Who is left? What has impressed us so far for each team? Who are our picks, for the series and for the new Conference MVP trophies? 

Sadly we cant get to recapping all the playoff moments so far this season but lets hope there's more on the way!

Shout out!

The 2021-22 regular season is in the books, so its time to reflect on our favourite team's performances, the MVP race, and more. 

We also look forward to the play-in tournaments in either conference and make our way-too-early picks for the NBA Finals! Whats yours? Let us know...

Shout out to the boys

Vinny is back and in command with special guests alongside him always! Theo & Jared join in the discussion around:

-Kevin Garnett's #5 being retired; our thoughts on the ceremony and where The Big Ticket ranks as an all-time C

-Brooklyn emphatically beating the 76ers; should Simmons have gone to watch from the bench?

-Draymond is back; his impact on the Warriors and his nickname potential...

-Phoenix; Put some respect/respec' on their names!

All this and more on another fun conversation of NBA news. Shout out!

@MetTheCriteria

We are joined this week by a key cog in the UK community, someone who has seen massive changes to his team's roster recently! Ben joins the pod and talks all things Harden trade, his feelings for Simmons, the narrative around Philly sports fans and much more.

We also take the opportunity to discuss the highlights of the season so far, our MVP picks with 20 games or so left and of course grab a little Finals prediction from Ben.... not what you might expect!

Share your MVP picks and best moments of the season in all the usual places: @MetTheCriteria

Well, we missed quite a lot between this episode and the last! The NBA went mad over the trade deadline, including a potentially title-changing deal in the Atlantic division. Before we got to that - and we DID get to it - we discuss some of the other moves around the league..

-Schroder for Theis (yes, Vinny thought this would be relevant!)

-Ibaka to the Bucks

-Sabonis/Haliburton deal between the Pacers & Kings

Let us know your opinions and thoughts on all these deals and of course the Harden to Philadelphia mega-trade. Shout out to the boys!

This week on MTC we chat about the recent "news" regarding James Harden. Is Philadelphia a viable option for his impending free agency, or is this just the rumour mill going crazy?

We discuss the confirmed all star starters, and more notably any omissions before concluding with a look at some of the NBA stars who are carrying a bit of timber in a new All-NBA Team.

Shout out to the boys!

MTC is back with a bang to discuss the following topics:

Which injury will have the biggest impact on their team: Dame, Draymond or Durant?

Which statement win was the biggest: Charlotte, Milwaukee or Brooklyn?

Who make our all-star reserve teams East & West? (Spoiler: Theo picks only Nets players for all 24 positions!)

What defines an all star?

All this and more. Please rate, share and follow the pod. Shout out 

This week we take a deep dive into the red-hot Bulls and their MVP candidate, DeMar DeRozan. Vinny & Theo give the Bulls more love than Jared has ever heard before!

We discuss the return of two elite guards in Kyrie Irving & Klay Thompson and the impact these moves will have.

Next up we chat about Steph's breaking of the 3-point record and where that record might end up one day before we close with some all-star talk. Let us know your starting 5s and also your thoughts on how many 3s Steph Curry will end his career with.
