This week(!), we break down the excitement that was the Knockout and Semifinal rounds of the NBA Cup, an experiment that may have finally announced itself as more than just an experiment. We also take a look at the Young Guns of the East - Atlanta, Orlando, and Detroit and how their coming-of-age stories are progressing. And to end this unnecessarily long holiday episode, we invite our respective loves, Danielle Bartz and Nneka Okafor, to join the podcast and share everything that is wrong with the NBA and with us.
