The Hardwood Obsession

Welcome back y'all!! I kicks things off by introducing the revamped show, explaining the motivation behind the change, and sharing what I'm looking at for the future.

From there, I dive nto the recent Sixers-Celtics matchup and takes a closer look at the talk surrounding Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. Is this a big deal? Is there a "bigger person" in all of this? Does it even matter? I give my take and attempt to put the conversation to rest.

To finish things off, we looks ahead to tomorrow's NBA games and I highlights the matchups and storylines I'll be keeping an eye on.

A new chapter is here for us with The Hardwood Obsession and trust me, there will be plenty of basketball to talk about.
