One on One Podcast

Jon (TW: @The_Fat_John) returns and helps to discuss the L the Celtics took. A Boston L is a win for us all and it's celebrated throughout the show. Other topics include Beal opting out if his deal to test free agency, Boston's chances of returning to The Final, HOFers and a good game of "what's more likely to happen" NBA edition. This was a fun, more unstructured podcast with a number of jokes but serious topics as well, addressed in an entertaining way.

Derrick and Rodney discuss what they've seen up until this point in the Finals (until game 4). Does what they've seen match what they thought was going to happen and what has surprised them (if anything). Steph had an all-time great performance in game 4 while Draymond has been lackluster all series and Wiggins/Looney stepped up big, all is discussed. Looking ahead, both share their predictions for the remainder of the series and keys for both teams. Tune in to see if anyone's original predictions change. 

Derrick and Rodney discuss game 7 of the ECF and how close the Heat were to pulling it out even though they both had Boston in 6. Did Miami pushing this series change our overall opinion on Boston? Heading west, Dallas' run resembled the Hawks run from last season, what steps does Dallas need to take to get over the hump? Touching on the overall playoffs to date, everyone thought this year was really going to be really competitive especially the east, but was it? Did this year's postseason live up to the hype to you? We share out thoughts. Moving on to The Finals, GSW vs. Boston, picks are made. GSW looks to be the favorite but would an upset truly be shocking? Lastly, the two share fun banter around sports betting, MLB, NHL and who's the biggest hater.

Return guest Justin (TW: @JDanso18) joins to talk more than just his beloved Sixers going fishing. Each of round 2 outcomes is discussed in some detail, comparing reality to our original picks. Certain stars stepped up and others looked lost to say the least. We look ahead to the conference finals and make our selections plus give our title favorite, and you might be surprised who is picked. We couldn't talk about this years postseason to-date without mentioning Dallas's beat down of the Suns, CP3's legacy, Doc Rivers/Harden, Booker, top 5 Luka, Pat Bev and much more. This is a very good listen!

The title "contending" Brooklyn Nets were eliminated in a somewhat shocking 4 game sweep by the Boston Celtics. To break down everything guest Dom (TW: @whatupnewshoes) joins to tell us how this might've been in the cards from the start of the season. Nothing is off the table regarding the Nets this podcast. We deep dive into Steve Nash, did he get a raw deal or is this all on him? How much soul searching do the Nets two biggest stars have to do this offseason? How can the Nets round out the rest of a noticeably light roster going into next season? And, Ben Simmons. Ultimately, the Nets went all in on KD/Kyrie and a third star and as of now are at risk of having this era end in disappointment. Things aren't looking so bright but it's the NBA, anything can happen.

Round 1 is in the books and Derrick and Rodney recap an eventful first round. The one big surprise in round 1 is discussed plus other takeaways for the winners and losers. Next, we move on to round 2 and make early predictions and point out any key areas of note for the series. At time of recording we're 1 game into each series for round 2. How did your round 1 predictions end up? Do you agree with our round 2 predictions?

Round 1 is here and Rodney returns! Derrick and Rodney touch on the outcomes of the play-in games then get right into picking the winners of each series and in how many games. At time of recording we're 1 game into each series. High-level overviews of each series is given, some injury updates and one or two things to look for. Listen to stay updated and reach out with your round 1 opinions.

Jon (TW: @The_Fat_John) returns as the postseason is upon us. A day before the play-in tournament begins we share our thoughts on who wins each play-in game and ultimately gets the 7th and 8th seed in each conference. We also talk about some stars that are rumored to possibly make their season debut in the playoffs and how that shakes things up. Lastly, we go through each round 1 matchup, with the our selections for play-in teams slotted in, and pick make our winners. Definitely will be some disappointments coming out of the play-in and round 1 as we see it now.

Two Sixers super fans, Darien and Jaylen, stop by to talk 76ers as they plan their celebration on Broad Street in June. Everything Sixers related is discussed here. Is Harden and Embiid the duo to get Philly over the top or was the trade too much? On top of Harden/Embiid, how's that rotation looking now? What really happened with Ben and was there a chance he could've ever returned? We take a look at the Eastern conference playoff picture as a whole and discuss our sleepers, favorites and matchups we want (need) to see. With the East looking how it is, is this championship or bust for 76ers, how are fans viewing this season? Could this end in major disappointments? Our last main topic is making the Embiid MVP case. It wouldn't be an "all things Sixers" pod if this wasn't brought up, but is Embiid everyone's favorite to win? A lot more is discussed; Doc's coaching style/coaching tree, legacy talk for some non-Sixers players, east coast sports fandom and just good friend dialogue. Definitely a podcast you don't want to miss. 

Rodney rejoins Derrick as they discuss how the NBA playoffs are shaping up, roughly a month out from kicking off. Everything from the play-in, semi-frauds, sleepers and ideal matchups for certain teams is touched upon. We close the show with MVP and ROY odds. Of course there's great side banner. Tune in!
