On this episode of the NBA-Team, Adam makes a list for each team's New Year's Resolutions. Do they need to look into the magic 8 ball and search for some clarity (Atlanta...)? Do they hope to have good health for the remainder of the year (Orlando....)? Or do they resolve to get the season over as quick as possible and try again next year (Washington....) Andrew will then either agree or disagree with Adam's 1/3 season assessment. Enjoy !

It's the holiday season, so hoop-de-do and dickory dock! NBA teams are officially on the clock to see if Santa Claus has the bag of goodies that they had planned for all year long! But did all of the teams really get what they wished on a star for? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, the NBA-Team, are here to see what the Big Gift was planned for every team and if it will be sitting under the tree for them. Why did all the Thunder get was a cool letter jacket? Do the Cavaliers need more muscle on their classic car that is sputtering exhaust? Can the Clippers or Warriors do anything to ring in the new year on a positive note? Riche and Adam also talk about the NBA Cup Final, preview the Christmas Day slate of games, contemplate if LeBron James had a Gran Turino moment against Dillon Brooks, and much more holiday cheer! So suit up and take it in episode 372 with the NBA-Team! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

The Emirates NBA Cup has reached its final destination in Las Vegas as the New York Knicks take on the San Antonio Spurs, who just beat the dominant Thunder, but if a game doesn't count as a win or loss but with money on the line, will it be a spirited effort? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, THE NBA-Team, are back together to talk about all the goings on in the knockout rounds, from the injury-cursed Magic to the defense-deprived Lakers. The trade market opens up this week, and moves will be made, but are there less opportunities for teams to make big moves thanks to the fear of the dread second tax apron? Are the Oklahoma City Thunder's lack of marketability while being by far the best team in the league the fault of its young, nameless stars or a league failing to promote good basketball over catchphrases? Riche and Adam also talk about Donovan Mitchell, the Most Improved Player Award race, and more! So suit up and take it out in episode 371 with the NBA-Team!!!

In this special episode, Adam Murray and Andrew Riche dive into the dorms and talk about this season's men's college basketball batch for prospects of the 2026 NBA Draft. Adam does his yearly tradition of running down the top prospects going into the season that NBA scouts may or may not ogle over while Andrew does word salad about how much upside, downside, or NIL money each of them should have. Do we have maybe a top-three consensus this year between Darryn Peterson, A.J. Dybantsa & Cameron Boozer and how surefire of a bet are each of the three? Are the have's and have not's between power conference schools and mid-majors distancing themselves even more in this new higher-scoring NIL era where rivalries practically don't exist? Is Dan Hurley going to win ANOTHER national title at UConn? Tune in and find out! Enjoy!

In a week where the talk of the sports world will be who gets the best draw in the FIFA World Cup (which we discuss) and the College Football Playoff, the NBA Cup is still trying to find its own footing as the knockout rounds are set. Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, THE NBA-Team, are back together after traveling the world (or, at least, one of them did) to play catch-up on the last couple weeks of the regular season. Are the Raptors and Pistons for real and the Knicks and Cavaliers are just happy to play the tortoises to their hares? Is it too early to declare that the geriatric L.A. Clippers' season is already dead on its feet? Is it possible for the Chicago Bulls to trade their best scoring guard and become a better team in the process? Riche and Adam also discuss the long-term dominance of the Thunder, the joyful transformation of the Miami Heat offense, soft tissue injuries, Lane Kiffin to LSU, and more! So suit up and take it out in episode 369 with the NBA-Team!

B-B-B-Bonus Episode! Rescued from an old hard drive, this minisode from last year talks about NBA players draft rights who were flipped multiple times, but never made it to the NBA. So treat yourself this holiday weekend and listen to Adam mispronounce every name and Andrew go "who, never heard of him" over and over and over. Enjoy !

Andrew and Adam find some bright spots for each team early on in the season. Of course this was taped prior to the recent firings/high profile injuries...but those are negatives, so we're just going to overlook that for now. Enjoy !

It's only one month into the season, and we are already seeing pink slips being handed out, verbal shots being fired, and wild endings in the NBA regular season. But is it a lot of loud noises signifying nothing or will they have major ramifications in the league? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, the NBA-Team, are back to round out the news surrounding souring superstars with low morale, the return of the random DNP's, and the firings of Willie Green in New Orleans and Nico Harrison in Dallas. Did they deserve to be let go, and was it possibly too little too late for both teams? Are the Kings on the cusp of a blow-up and our third coach firing of the season? Are some of the October front runners like the Bulls, Sixers, and Blazers falling back to their means or are they better than people think? Riche and Adam also talk about last Monday's wacky slate of games ending on buzzer beaters, Steph Curry torching the young Spurs in San Antonio, calf strains, and more! So suit up and take it in episode 366 with the NBA-Team!

As the Emirates NBA Cup plays on during the regular season, there are some groups in the East and West that have been more competitive than others. But what if I told you that the NBA Championship will surely come out of two divisions (one in the East and one in the West)? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, The NBA-Team, are back to explain how the Midwest and Northwest Divisions have sneakily dominated the NBA standings so far. With murmurs of a LeBron season debut coming up, how will J.J. Redick handle his inclusion now that Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves are on a scoring roll? What can the NBA do to make their new Cup Tournament not feel irrelevant to fans? Is the Bulls' hot start a red mirage after losing to the Bucks & Cavs? Riche and Adam also talk about Ja Morant and Trae Young both at a crossroads, the Rookie of the Year race, and more! So suit up and take it out in episode 365 with The NBA-Team!
