Premium Hoops

On today's episode of Premium Hoops: Small Market Sadness. A podcast bringing together media members/writers of small markets that are wallowing in playoffs fomo.

On this pod, we talk way more about Josh Smith than seems reasonable in 2020, but it's a great time. How can these teams move forward? How do small markets build? What directions can small market teams go to hit their ceiling?

We also spend a good chunk talking about Victor Oladipo and De'Anthony Melton. Where will Melton and Oladipo be playing next year? Should the Griz let Melton go and will the Pacers pony up for Oladipo?

While there is great analysis on this pod, it's mainly just a kick back/have fun pod. Just enjoy the pod! Expect some of these in the future and send us feedback on how you enjoyed this one! We love to do our thing in analysis, but getting loose and talking hoops is our bread and butter.

Featured on the pod - Lazarus Jackson, Andrew Kelly, Keith Parish, Dave DuFour, & Mark Schindler

The Milwaukee Bucks have been bounced from the playoffs after a disappointing 4-1 series. Where do Giannis and Milwaukee go from here? What happens with Mike Budenholzer? Was this team a fraud?

Cody Houdek, Mark Schindler, and Nate Georgy come together to discuss the end of a historic season. In the podcast, we devote our full time to Milwaukee and outlining what went wrong, how they can fix it, and our own thoughts on their future.

We also have a really long discussion about why we think it's disingenuous to talk about Giannis leaving.

After last night's game, the Milwaukee Bucks are now down 0-2 to Miami. I'm joined by Ben Rauman of Behind the Buck Pass to break down and discuss the game and series. Where do the Bucks go from here?

To start off, we have the Mike Budenholzer discussion; Is he an 82 game coach? Is that harsh? A little, but for the second straight season, Bud's flaws have shown through in the playoffs. Ben specifically brings up the rotation issues. In the game, Bud went with a 10-man rotation, playing almost every man 10+ minutes and Giannis topped out at 36 minutes.

We then take a step back. While the Bucks are down two games, a come back is still within reach and the series is not over! What do the Bucks do now? How do they counter? What improvements might we see in the next game?

During the pod, we dive into a great deal more and have some great philosophical debates on the Bucks. Enjoy the pod!

On today's episode of the Premium Hoops Podcast, Mark & Nate break down the current NBA Playoffs match ups.

First, we have to talk about Donovan Mitchell and Jamal Murray. They are setting the bubble on fire and ascending to higher levels of play. How will game 7 shape up and who will advance to face the Clippers?

Can Mitchell and Murray continue to dazzle? We'll find out tonight.

Moving onto the Raptors and Celtics, we dish on Game 1. What went wrong for Toronto, and what went right for Boston? Can the Raptors right the ship and will Pascal Siakam find his shot? Or, will Jayson Tatum and the Celtics continue to stifle him inside the arc? This series has the potential to be the best of the NBA Playoffs.

The Bucks dropped game 1 to Miami, are we freaking out yet? We dive into the series and why we think Milwaukee is going to be fine and likely make it out to the Eastern Conference Finals. Will Mike Budenholzer finally shift his defense?

Lastly, we talk about the Dallas Mavericks. Although they were just bounced in the first round, we think their future is among the brightest in the league. How will the front office continue to build around Luka and KP? Regardless, expect to see the Mavericks continue to progress and find their way deeper into the postseason in coming years.

On today's episode of the Premium Hoops podcast, Adam Mares joins Mark to talk about the Denver Nuggets. What does a Jokic funk look like, where is Jamal Murray at, what direction is the team heading, as well as a dive into DNVR.

Adam is the VP of Creative Production at The DNVR, one of the brightest media start ups in the country. He provides insight on what led to DNVR's startup, how they're different, how COVID impacted their business model, and the future of DNVR (It's bright folks!)

Denver finished the season 46-27 with the third best record in the West, yet are down 3-1 to Utah. Was this Denver team for real? Adam also sheds light on Nikola Jokic as a leader and his willingness to shoot. Jokic has cemented himself as a top center in the league, but what can he do to cement himself as an MVP-caliber player?

We then dive into Jokic and Jamal Murray's defense; how can they find competency on that end and are they compatible at the highest level? Is Jamal Murray able to hang as a point guard and how has he grown this season? Murray is notoriously up and down as a player, but he's been a revelation in the playoffs.

Will Nikola Jokic be able to lead this team out of the 3-1 hole? What is next for the Denver Nuggets and will Mike Malone be at the helm when they're a true contender?

Finally, Adam & Mark close out by talking about some NBA philosophy; Is Dallas really the best offense all-time? What makes a coach a defensive coach (It's a great debate) and do Nick Nurse and Mike Malone qualify as such?
