Jon had me on his show, "Bad Wins and Good Losses", all playoffs long so to wrap up the season I had to bring him through.

Topics include use recapping The Finals and what could've been in game 7... or not? And then we discuss the things that surprised us most this season.

The draft is happening as we record, so naturally we look ahead to next year. Highlighting trades that have already happen, ponder ones that still might happen, and in each conference pinpoint the teams that should feel like a conference championship is theirs for the taking.

Taylor (TW: @papercash) joins the pod again to discuss the impact of the of both conference finals and The Finals preview:

• Thibs out in NYC, what's next for the Knicks
• Dead KAT on defense
• Randle/Reid, Minny's next step
• Aura-less Finals might be better than expected

Friend of the show, Taylor (TW: @papercash) is back to review the crazy playoffs to date and look forward to the conference and NBA Finals.

Topics:

• Round 1 and 2 review and upset
• Conference/NBA Finals preview and predictions 
• Where do the Cavs/Boston/GSW/Nuggets go from here?
• Giannis on the move?
• Rockets move?
• Revival of the middy in the postseason
• This playoffs determining the face of the league?

It has been a while but I'm back and joined with Jon to talk all things NBA in in the, roughly month since the last episode.

In this episode we talk:

• Biggest surprise teams of the season: Sun isn't out in Phoenix, Houston taking off, and all Pistons are rolling Detroit

• Potential playoff landscape w/ a few predictions for round 1
• The semantics that is the "MVP" and all other NBA awards predictions
• General league banter

The Lakers and Mavs made a blockbuster trade: Doncic, Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris to LA for Davis, Max Christie and the Lakers' 2029 first-round pick. The Jazz will also receive Jalen Hood-Schifino, the LA Clippers' 2025 second-round pick and the Mavs 2025 second-round selection.

But why at 2am without telling any other teams and whose idea was this? Did the Lakers get better or do the Mavs sneakily provide a better immediate fit for AD?

Derrick and Rodney discuss!

This is an open letter to the NBA with good friend Justin (TW: @JDanso18 if he ever returns) to talk about the state of the NBA. It seems like so much is changing with the game we love, ratings are down, style of play is... questionable at times, amongst other things. But is it as bad as everyone says? Well, yes and no. We share what we currently like and don't and what we think the really problems are. And there are some real issues, after all, where there is smoke there is fire.

1v1 is back! There's a few rule changes we have some ideas about and some changes to the NBA season/post-season we need to discuss:

But to start, we discuss a few surprise teams we were low or high on in our last EP to preview the season. And how unpredictable is the west right now?

The 2024-2025 NBA season tips off Tuesday so Derrick and Rodney discuss all things Eastern Conference on this episode!

This is part of a split episode, check out the "No Timeouts" podcast for the duo's thoughts on the Western conference.

Taylor (TW: @papercash) joins the show again to discuss how we were wrong about the Mavs, again, and recap the NBA finals. We also discuss the news of the day as JJ Redick is named head coach of the 17 time NBA champions, Los Angeles Lakers.

Second time guest, Taylor (TW: @papercash) is back to preview the upcoming anti-Grant Williams NBA finals and what we got wrong and right about in our season opening show.

We also banter on the state of the WNBA/Stephen A. championing the league (or not?), Clipped, and JJ Redick coaching the Lakers?
