It's MTC time again and we start this one where we left the last one (kind of)... Suns Warriors. What did we see out of their recent series? Do Phoenix have the perfect defensive weapon to put on Steph in a playoff setting? 

We also discuss the Portland situation - should they trade Dame? CJ? Nurkic? All 3?! 

Which of our 2 All NBA "out with COVID" teams would you pick in a 7-game series? Let us know.

Finally we talk about exciting games coming up on the schedule.

Kicking off this week's episode we moan about the weather.. before discussing the scuffle between LeBron James & Isaiah Stewart. Did the NBA get the suspensions correct?

Before their home-and-home set this week, we also talk about the leagues top 2 teams.. the Golden State Warriors & the Phoenix Suns. Is Vinny correct... can any team run these squads close out west? Let us know in all the usual places, or use the Spotify poll.

It's a spicy talking point to kick off this week's pod.. Nikola Jokic vs Markieff Morris - does Jokic deserve the huge levels of criticism? Was it high-time a Morris twin got a taste of their own medicine? (Spoiler: yes)

This week we also talk about our most surprising teams that have started this season well, and conversely the squads that have got off to slow starts before closing with some MVP talk - it's never too early!

Shout out to the boys....

Season 3 (or is it 2.5) of MTC is back! 

On this summer recap pod we discuss our favourite draft selections and talk through the biggest names who have/haven't resigned at time of recording. We finish the pod by giving our opinions on two players who seemed certain to leave their respective franchises last time we spoke but who ultimately have stayed put... for now

In our final pod of the season we discuss the Bucks closing out the NBA Finals in style behind one of the most dominating Finals games in history by Giannis! Jared decides to open up a serious can of worms regarding James Harden's Giannis comments a couple of years ago, which naturally gets Mr Nets' back up.

Also.. Did Giannis do it the hard way? Can CP3 be the best player on a championship team? And when will MTC return? Tune in to find out.

A HUGE thank you to each and every one of our listeners throughout this season! Shout out to you all.

On this week's episode we discuss games 4 and 5 of the NBA Finals in detail and all the big plays and talking points around it... Giannis' block, Jrue's strip and alley-oop, CP3 going missing, Booker stepping up...

And it isn't an episode of MTC without a crazy trade suggestion from Vinny!

Shout out to the boys

Part-way through the 2021 NBA Finals and the biggest talking point so far has been the up-and-down performances from Giannis' team-mates. We discuss what needs to change from Middleton and Holiday in road games to help the Bucks take control of the series. 

Phoenix have been excellent so far, but should the Suns be worried about injuries, CP3's turnovers or Booker's game 3 flop?

If you enjoyed this episode. please share and help promote the pod. Shout out to the boys

This week we say goodbye to two playoff teams who have really gained the respect of many fans.. the Clippers and the Hawks.

Then its time to debate the Finals... Who will come out victorious? Which team had a more favourable route to the Finals? Will Giannis be back in time to make a case for Finals MVP?

All this and more on this episode of Met The Criteria. Shout out!
