The Playgrounder

The Playgrounder Duo discusses all of their observations from the Western Conference, so far this season. From Steph Curry being underrated, to the roller coaster ride of the Clippers, and the classic Embiid vs Jokic debate!

The boys are back with some early season observations of the Eastern Conference!

The boys predict standings, all star teams, surprise teams, disappointing teams and more for the Western Conference. They also end the show by predicting their MVP, DPOY and 6-Man of the year for the upcoming season.

The boys start off by discussing Giannis' max extension, and how the NBA can fix contracts to help smaller markets. They then preview and make all their predictions for the Eastern Conference, including predictions for COY, ROY and MIP. 

Today, the boys discuss the Wall - Westbrook trade, Harden not showing up for practice, Kyrie rejecting the media, and the NBA fining players for sitting out prime time games. Andrew Lawlor (@lawlorpalooza) then joins them, as the three discuss and debate their top 50 players lists heading into the season.

Rob Shaw (@ShawsLawPodcast) joins Zach (@ZachWilsonNBA) to discuss Christmas/Opening day games, LeBron's extension, Kawhi's diva'ness, and LiAngelo Ball signing with the Pistons. Zach and Matt (@MattEsposito_) are then joined by Yaron Weitzman (@YaronWeitzman) to discuss his book, "Tanking to the Top" and the Philadelphia 76ers' off season, and season ahead.

This time, Zach and Matt bring you the West! Reviewing every west team's draft, free agency and trades. Discussing who did well, who could've done better, and who is set to make the playoffs in this loaded Western Conference.
