With the regular season set to begin on October 20, this episode looks at what the preseason has revealed so far. We examine how the new-look Sixers lineup with LeBron James and Joel Embiid fared in its debut, how the Knicks are managing Jalen Brunson's return from wrist surgery, and which early performances are worth watching. We close with a set of predictions for the 2026-27 season, including which players may struggle, which are poised to break out, and who could take home the major awards.

The trade that broke the offseason open — Giannis heads to Miami in a blockbuster four years in the making, which immediately pushed Boston into a stunning Jaylen Brown for Paul George swap with Philly. We break down the return packages and whether either star actually fits his new team.

The San Antonio Spurs didn't just lose the 2026 NBA Finals—they practically handed the trophy to the New York Knicks. In this episode of RNG Small Ball, we break down the historic collapses that cost San Antonio the championship, including a devastating Game 4 where they blew a 29-point lead to anchor the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history. From Jalen Brunson’s absolute masterclass in clutch scoring to De'Aaron Fox’s costly struggles and the underutilization of rookie sensation Dylan Harper, we dive deep into how veteran composure completely broke a hyper-talented youth movement.
