The NBA Season begins tonight! The reigning champion Bucks take on the Kyrie-less Nets, while the New look Lakers face off against Golden State. Before we cover those games, we have to talk about NBA drama. Ben Simmons has returned to the Sixers, but has recently been suspended from the game opener. Ben Simmons has been throwing in the towel ever since showing back up, and so far his antics have cost him $1.4 million in fines. Also, The Phoenix Suns refuse to offer a max contract to Deandre Ayton, making him a free agent in next year's pool. There are more extensions to cover, and plenty of basketball soon to watch. Enjoy!

This has been a very strange offseason in terms of news. With the decisions made by different Arenas across the country to not allow unvaccinated athletes to play in their stadium, Kyrie Irving has found himself in yet another bit of drama. As it stands now, Kyrie will be paid $19 million for this season, half his contract. He will not be allowed to practice with the team, or play in home or road games. If Kyrie decides to get the vaccine, he will be eligible for all $38 million and will be able to play all games. It is up to Kai to decide what to do now. Ben Simmons and his agent, Rich Paul, have made it clear all year that Ben Simmons does not want to play in Philly. Since The 6ers organization has fined Simmons $380,000 for missing training camp, the reality of the holdout is starting to hit Ben Simmons. So much so that he has actually reported back to work. Also, the preseason has been electric this year, and has slightly changed our views on a bunch of players and teams. Hope you enjoy the episode!

Welcome to a yearly episode of The Chase Down. This is the episode where we break down our top 3-4 picks for each award, as well as some other important titles, like scoring title, assist leader, etc. The ROTY race this year should be one of the most entertaining in the past handful of seasons, with 4 of the top 5 players looking to come into the NBA ready to go. Jalen Green as an electric scorer and Cade Cunningham as an all-around talent should make for an entertaining ROTY battle. The MVP race is also up for grabs this year. There are a ton of big names and interesting storylines surrounding the MVP race. I hope you enjoy it!

Celtics Basketball is about a month away! With the new free agent signings and the coaching change over the offseason for Boston, there are many reasons to be excited about the Celtics going into the regular season. This episode, we break down how the Celtics finished last season, as well as the offseason moves they made, and the depth chart for the upcoming season. There are some interesting storylines around which 5 Celtics will start, as well as whether or not Marcus Smart or Dennis Schroder deserve the starting PG spot, and we give you our opinions on those and more! Enjoy!

The NBA Regular Season will be back very soon, and with that comes a chance for a new season of sports betting. Neither of us are big-time sports betters, but we know enough about basketball to help. In this episode, we cover the projected win totals for most teams in the NBA, and whether or not we should take the over or under for their win totals. The Brooklyn Nets sit at 55.5 wins, which to us seems incredibly low. Both of us would bet the over on Brooklyn, and the under on San Antonio. The Spurs will likely have the worst roster in the league next season and will struggle immensely to get to 28.5 wins. Some are hard to touch, like the Pacers, Bulls, and Knicks all at 42.5 wins. Either team could move drastically in either direction based on injuries. If there are any disagreements, find us on Instagram and let us know. Enjoy!

With our Eastern Conference Breakdown video out yesterday, we felt like it would be a good idea to make the video about the West next. In this episode, we rank our picks for seeds 1-15 in the Western Conference, and what about each team makes us think they will be where we predict. At the top of the conference, The Los Angeles Lakers seem to be by far the best team. After that, the conference is a bit more wide open. The return of Klay Thompson to the Warriors could put Golden State as high as 2, and the return of Jamal Murray may help give the Nuggets an end-of-the-year boost. If you guys have any thoughts on our predictions, find us on Instagram and let us know! Enjoy!

A new season of NBA Basketball is starting to approach, and with that, we felt like it was a good time to give a full breakdown of this season's Eastern Conference. Today we list our predictions for seeds 1-15 in the Eastern Conference and back up why each team should be where they are. This is a year full of parity, and the strength of this year's Eastern Conference seems to be as good as it has been in a long time. This makes this year's 5-10 seed much harder to predict than in years prior. The Nets and Bucks seem to be the two Giants of The East, but the rest of the seeding is up for grabs. I hope you all enjoy our takes! If not, find us at The Chase Down on Instagram and let us know. Thanks!
