  • Episode 103: Christmas With Caitlin Gill
    Caitlin Gill (@ROBOTCAITLIN) returns for an annual Roundball holiday tradition: previewing the Christmas games for people who might not know about basketball. Along the way we learn about Charlie Villanueva's stolen toilet, Kyrie the Grinch, Bar Mitvah Man Kyle O'Quinn, NBA twins, Magic Johnson's rejection of toxic masculinity, and Sean reads his rejected New Yorker short story, "KAT Person."

  • Episode 102: "Providence Is America's Angriest City"
    Mike Mulloy (@fakemikemulloy) returns to the podcast as we field a ton of NBA questions. Did Phil Jackson save the Knicks? Will the Pistons rebound now that Stan Van Gundy isn't campaigning for Doug Jones every day? And was The Usual Suspects the Hollywood version of Magneto's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants? Also we review James Harden's sour candy, get more life advice from Stephen A. Smith, and Mike challenges Sam Dekker to a fight.

  • Episode 101: "Joakim Noah: The NBA’s Christopher Walken”
    It's Gondelmania as Sean & Joey are joined by Josh Gondelman of "Last Week Tonight." Josh gives his patented pep talks to downtrodden NBA players and teams and makes a starting five out of LWT characters. We all diss the triangle offense, and talk about Coach Kobe, Wikipedia, Chipotle, JumpSoles, players we want to see win titles, bitcoins, Supa Cool Beas, Brooklyn Nets food trucks, Russell Westbrook as Good Luck Chuck, and the retired Matt Barnes' Derek Fisher-tracking app. Also Joey's neighbor runs a giant vacuum outdoors near the end, so we apologize about that.

  • Episode 100: "You Can't Spell David Lee Without D-A-D"
    Josh Androsky (@ShutUpAndrosky) joins Joey & Sean to celebrate the 100th episode of Roundball Rock and answer burning questions like, "Which NBA player should have their own slot machine?" "Have NBA refs become the P.C. police?" and "Is LiAngelo Ball planning an international heist?" Along the way we get into the NBA's rash of ejections, sensory deprivation tanks, exploding cars, vaping, the Warriors' shady team app, and the superiority of the NBA over all other sports due to Jumbotron entertainment alone. We guess owners' occupations, debut our new feature, "Glad Dad/Sad Dad," Josh outs himself as a Lavar Ball Truther and we disrupt Greek mythology.

  • Episode 99: "Fire Doc Rivers!"
    There's trouble in Clipperland as the unofficial team mascot turns on the coach, and Austin Rivers tries to fight a fan. We premiere our analytics mini-podcast "Slamm'd Up," cast Blake Griffin in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, identify the angriest Thunder player, and ban the term "Hack-a" for any player whose name doesn't rhyme with Shaq.

  • Episode 98: "Alley Oop Dot Com’s John Hollinger”
    Joey and Sean return from Thanksgiving to talk about those turkeys in Memphis, and rename the Woke Off after fired coach - and Woke Off contender - David Fizdale. Take that for a tribute, rook! We talk Doc Rivers, Austin Rivers, the Western Conference's suckiness, Derrick Rose's signature shoes, Bryan Cranston's Twitter feed, and the current famousness of Lenny Kravitz. Sponsored by Liangelo Ball & Branch.

  • Episode 97: “The Last Thanksgiving Where Doc Rivers Stuffs the Turkey Full of Hundred Dollar Bills”
    It's a special Thanksgiving podcast where we examine what each NBA team is thankful for. Chandler Parsons makes a dating app, Blake Griffin wishes on a monkey's paw, Jack Cooley keeps investigating a murder in Reno, and Carmelo Anthony & Raymond Felton rekindle a Thanksgiving tradition with their pumpkin-pie-eating race. And so much more!

  • Episode 96: "Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown Are Bebop and Rocksteady"
    Jamel Johnson (@NonProfitComic) of the Air Bud podcast and On Deck join Sean & Joey to discuss the biggest NBA news of Thursday night: Chris and Cliff Paul's breakup. We break it down from all angles: Is Cliff staying in Los Angeles? Was this a backdoor pilot for the Oscar Nunuez-led "Cole Perez" spinoff? Did State Farm drop Chris because of all the DeAndre Jordan/feral skunk insurance claims? Also the NBA goes vegan, Joel Embiid takes over Los Angeles, Robert Covington gets paid, and we enroll in Steph Curry's Master Class.

  • Episode 95: “Watch Out, Mother Jones, The Players Tribune Is Coming For You!”
    Sean & Joey review a banner week for the Woke Off, as a new contender takes the top spot and the Players Tribune becomes as political as Teen Vogue. We also speculate about the Chicago Bulls' human resources department, review Basketball Reference nicknames, mourn the decline of The Tall Baller From The G, lecture Enes Kanter about gender fluidity, nominate Drake LaRoche for a front office job, warn the Sacramento Kings about Skynet, evaluate Danilo Gallinari's sex injury, and suggest that the Cleveland Cavaliers are pawns in a long string of subway hoaxes perpetrated by the mysterious Zardulu.
