Pull Up Tre

Buckets & Tea NBA Show host Cathryn Naiker is joined by guest Katie Heindl to discuss the very beginning of the NBA season. What are their early impressions so far and what are their early season overreactions? Then they discuss the latest James Harden drama with the 76ers.  Will he play for this team? Is this sustainable and what does the future hold for this troubled organization? Then the in-season tournament, what the hell is it, and do they think it'll be good for the league? In our Raptors Homer moment THE VIBES ARE BACK but so is winning. Aside from vibes alone, what is the biggest difference between last year's and this year's squad? Scottie signed his rookie extension, what does that mean for the team and do we see him emerging as the leader? Then in our Raptors Hottie Highlight, they talk about Pascal's viral Halloween video and Katie surprises us with a hottie highlight of her own.
