A lot to talk about in this lateest NBA Joint episode. (2:45) It's a 2 week recap of the season with maybe some too early retrospective on Jordan Poole in Washington. (7:10) I go over my biggest whifs and hits from last years season predictions. (18:10) Pros and cons of the Harden trade for the Clippers. (27:00) The worst new NBA rule ugh. (28:25) New look Clips versus struggling Julius Randle and the Knicks. (35:25) Miami Heat talk in reference to the Lakers game nail biter, with some time set aside for BAM love. (46:40) SAS vs TOR thriller was a showout for young stars. (50:00) Siakam for Herro trade idea. What do you think? (56:00) And finishing up with Detroit talk versus the Durant led Suns.

I cover my most intriguing teams, players and possible standings for the new NBA season. A lot of Miami Heat talk as well as some stud rookies like Wemby & Chet Holmgren. I run through every team in the league during my projections of the regular season standings too.

In this episode of the NBA Joint we talk NBA hoops, past and present, with my boy Steeven. We get into the latest moves by the Heat and some other teams in the league. We focused a lot on the great point guards in the game this week. All that and more, in what was a fun conversation just shooting the shit on hoops.

We are at the quarter mark of the NBA season so I run through the current standings and some surprise placements (1m). I give a lot of love to ATL this week too (7m & 20m). Warriors look back on track (10m). Minny looks whack, so does the Gobert trade... way too early trade review (12m). Boston vs. Miami and Tatum's MVP case (33m). I think Zion's defense is the last piece for the Pels (39m).

Last half of the podcast we run through a few segments; Teams w/ an Embarrassment of Riches (44m), What makes a Good Coach (49m), Injury news (53m), and all the scoring explosions lately (56m).

The NBA Joint starts off this week with some talk on Ben Simmons looking... close to back (2m). Gotta give De'Arron Fox some love on his improvements this year (7m). Weekly two-minutes-hate on Westbrook (11m). We should give Warriors the benefit of the doubt (16m). I also give my take on the NBA media in general (24m).

Then midway my Heat fandom takes over on potential moves for a 4 (30m). I give Pheonix their credit and love (36m). Orlando has finally found their next star (43m). And to close out the pod we must spend some time on the Nets and give a fair take on the KD saga (46m).

Started this week with a breakdown of the Brittney Griner situation; the WNBA star trapped in a Geopolitical clusterfuck in Russia (3m). I had my recording pause midway through the Griner talk, but I was able to cover it mostly. Then we get into what Kyrie Irving has been saying and not saying (16m). The Nets and Ben's play (28m). I finish by covering the Cavs, Knicks, Suns and Rockets (31m).

One week in the books. This week I got around to predictions for awards this year, MVP, Finals predictions and more. I covered the Warriors and the ring ceremony on opening night. Spent a good chunk talking up Donovan Mitchell and the new look Cavs. Pelicans, Grizzlies and Blazers are looking impressive. And my Miami squad is off to a slow start, but I ain't worried yet.

It's the start of a new NBA season and so it's a restart of The NBA Joint. I tried starting this podcast last year, but this year it'll actually work out.

This week I ran through every team in the NBA and where I think they'll be in the standings at the end of all 82. Will I be on point??? Most definitely not. But I think this was a good run through to get acquainted and assess the new rosters.
