Greg returns with his Five Questions, this time focusing on the NBA's Atlantic Division. Beginning with the Raptors and Knicks, and finishing with the 76ers, Celtics, and Nets, this division has the ultimate juxtaposition of hope and confusion, leaving each team deserving of their own unique question. There is plenty of time left in the regular season, but with the February 9th trade deadline approaching, teams need to make some important decisions quickly. Greg rounds out the episode with his favorite NBA Wednesday picks and debuts his "NBA Weird Rankings" with what he believes to be the five strangest groups in basketball.

J.B. Long, play-by-play voice of the Los Angeles Rams and broadcaster for the Pac-12 conference, joins the show to break down his early impressions of the Conference of Champions as they approach the second half of league play. He and Greg particularly have their eyes on UCLA/USC as they'll head on the road to face Arizona/Arizona State. The Bruins top the conference standings at 7-0, but the Sun Devils are just a game behind, and both USC and Arizona have plenty of reasons to believe that they can make a push for the regular season crown. Screaming From The Sidelines takes the opportunity to dive inside the world of college basketball, and we hope you tune into this Pac-12 special.

Aaron Tobin-Hess, host of For the Love of the Game, makes his first appearance on Screaming From The Sidelines to proudly share his opinions on his New York sports teams and the rest of the NBA. While the Giants may have exceeded his expectations for this season, the Knicks...well, that's a different story. From there, he and Greg break down some of the NBA's hottest and coldest teams, and then ATH caps it off with his 10-man All-Star starting lineup.

Greg starts off the new year with the latest on Bills safety Damar Hamlin and how that impacted even the most casual sports fans. He also recaps his experience at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, the Brooklyn Nets and their remarkable turnaround, and what we're seeing early on in 2023. To top it off, Greg sprinkles in some updated NBA stats and how teams have fared against the spread in certain situations.

If your New Year's resolution was to try a new podcast, it may be time to spread the love of Screaming From The Sidelines to your passionate sports fan peers. Enjoy!

Kate Scott, now in her second season as the play-by-play voice of the Philadelphia 76ers, joins Screaming From The Sidelines for an in-depth conversation about the rollercoaster that is the first 1/3 of the Sixers season. Scott, who is California-raised and built her career on the West Coast, made the transition to Philadelphia in 2021, and since then has gotten to know all about the city, its fans, the game of basketball, and the team itself.

The Sixers had a rocky start to the season, but injuries have done them no favors, and Scott explains why it is far too early to sell your stock on Philly. She also shares her preparation process ahead of broadcasts and praises some of the young talent that the rest of the world may appreciate sooner rather than later.

For more on Kate Scott and her journey into sports broadcasting, we have attached a PhillyVoice article by Joseph Santoliquito, who does a fantastic job of shining a light on her journey.

Kate Constable returns to SFTS for an NBA Christmas betting edition episode, as she and Greg break down the five high-profile matchups, their point spreads, over/unders, and prop bets.
