Coach and Tone overcome technical difficulties and toddler meltdowns to revisit their pre-season predictions as the All-Star Break approaches. The East predictions actually turned out OK! The West on the other hand... 

Coach gets DEEP as we all mourn the tragic loss of Kobe Bryant, his daughter, and seven other passengers in last week's horrible accident. This upload comes late compared to most other tributes, as the takes discussed surely will not match up with your average memorial. Thought-provoking analysis from the Boomer generation, or angry old white guy? You be the judge! 

Coach and Tone remember recently departed NBA Commissioner David Stern, discuss why the Celts have everything they need to make a deep run this Spring, and who really had the best draft of 2019. 

Enjoy, and foul responsibly!

Coach and Tone get into it on the road. Mobile edition #2 coming your way! The Celts are off to a better start this year, plus they actually like each other! The last third of the episode is coach talking about his other passion, Massachusetts football. Come on into the weeds with him as he gets into coaching lineages, spread offenses at the high school level, and the absurdity of 8 divisions in the tiny state of MA. 

Coach breaks down his Western Conference hopefuls and has-beens, and gets into how implementing neighborhood rules would certainly make for a better return to week 2 of the 2019-20 season. Also: Coach and Tone bring back a favorite "All-Star" segment, this time for the "All-Tangle" team. Yes, Marcus Smart is a starter. And yes, Rodman was the MJ of the tangle in his day. 

Coach and Tone briefly discuss the NBA China debacle, then jump in deep (maybe too deep?) to the Eastern Conference rosters and rank the teams from worst to first. Coming off a seismic shift in player movement during a busy off-season, new-look rosters tell us that despite the Giannis-led Bucks and new-look Sixers, the East is up for grabs!

Coach breaks down 2019's most exciting book on basketball: Kirk Goldsberry's Sprawlball. We also discuss Team USA's shortcomings, why the international game has superior rules, and why field goals in football should only be 2 points. Happy Fall everyone! Good to be back.

Coming to the from the road! Coach and Tone discuss what OKC's rebuild says about free agency and the wrongness of the NBA draft. 

Coach and Tone breakdown the biggest free-agent turnover in modern NBA history, and what changes need to come to accommodate today's bigger, faster, stronger NBA. Happy 4th to all!

Coach and Tone wax poetic on the finer points of Toronto's decisive game 4 win.  The truth behind KD's injury status comes out.  Kawhi's playoff run is put into perspective.
