This week host Cathryn Naiker is joined by NBA writer extraordinaire Vivek Jacob to discuss Team USA's prospective roaster. Is this the Millenial Dream Team? What chance does Canada have against this all-time roaster? Then they discuss LeBron and Bronny James. Will Bronny enter the draft, or should he? What do we think of LeBron's statement asking people to leave Bronny alone? More tension is brewing between teams and referees. We got another epic coach rant this time courtesy of the Piston's Monty Williams. Do we think the league needs to adjust the rules around end-of-game reviews? As award season approaches the 65-game rule is having its impact. Vivek talks about the article we wrote about this rule, how it's affecting the league, and argues to eliminate back-to-back games. Then in our Raptors homer moment, we talk about the team playing well together and should that alter their goals for the remainder of the season? should they go for the play-in or hold onto this draft pick that was traded to San Antonio? Finally, in our Hottie HIghligh of the week, it is THE PIZZA PARTY!!!

This week host Cathryn Naiker is joined by No Dunks’ Jerome Cheng. They talk about what it was like in Indiana, the All-Star experience. The narrative around fixing the dunk contest and the game and what would they would do differently. Then they talk about J.J Reddick’s rant about Doc Rivers lacking self accountability. Cathryn puts on her conspiracy hat and they dive into a deeper conversation about sports media. Then they have fun with bold predictions going forward in the season. In our Raptors homer moment they discuss Vince Carter and his desire to enter the hall of fame as a raptor. Do they forgive and forget or do they still hold a grudge? In the hottie highlight of the week, it’s all about Scottie singing the national anthem.

Host Cathryn Naiker is joined by NBA Writer Oren Weisfeld to congratulate him on announcing his first book about the growth of men's basketball in Canada! Then they discuss the big story this week about the Warriors trying to get LeBron James. We analyze what we see as a publicity move from both sides. Then All-Star Weekend is upon us! We talk about the main events and pick our winners for the slam dunk contest, and 3-point shoot-out. Steph vs Sabrina and All-Star MVP. Then we look at the remainder of the season and make bold predictions Is Trae Young going to ask out of Atlanta? Will Miami make the Eastern Conference finals again? and more! Then in our Raptors homer moment, we talk about Scottie Barnes leaving the bench before the game was over and the contradicting statements the following day. What does it all mean? Is Scottie ready to be a leader? and what does he need at this point in his career? Then we talk about Pascal Siakam's return to Toronto. What it was like in the stadium and the Jersey's planted in section 119 to honour him. In our Hottie Highlight of the week, it goes to the 905 for their very cool Black History Month jersey.
