In the first episode of 2023, Tristan and Maanik give their picks for the 2023 NBA All-Star game in Salt Lake City, discuss which MVP candidate in the East might not be a starter, and tackle the weirdness that is the 4 wild card spots. Plus, some hopefuls and regretful snubs.

With the NBA Draft over and free agency upon us, Tristan and Maanik are back to look at the 10 youngest teams in the NBA before deciding whose future and situation is the brightest. From Memphis as the slam dunk pick to how we value being competitive versus cap flexibility, and the Charlotte Hornets being in Hell, we hit it all in the longest episode of The Bonus yet.

The Bonus is COVID-free at last, and Maanik and Tristan are here to send off the 2021-2022 NBA season with a reflection on some of this season's wildest storylines. From the Ben Simmons saga to the Lakers and Nets separate collapses, a blowout-filled playoffs, and last but not least an astoundingly baffling end to the Suns' season, we hit it all.

The second round of the NBA playoffs is underway, as Tristan and Maanik tackle the air of dread and boredom surrounding the Heat-Sixers series, Chris Paul and the Suns' blistering offense against Dallas, the unpredictability of Celtics-Bucks, and the Warriors' path on defense without Gary Payton II.

The NBA playoffs are finally here. Tristan and Maanik are back to recap the play-in and why it should stick around, the electric Anthony Edwards and his duel with Ja Morant, how the Golden State Warriors look real scary with the new Death Lineup, and how the script flipped on the Raptors.
