Oh my God, did you see Anthony Davis last nite? In a season where James Harden and his Rockets have stolen the show in the West and Demarr Derozen has the Raptors as the unlikely 1 seed in the East, it’s the perpetually lottery dwelling Pelicans demanding NBA fans’ attention. Over the past month AD has become must-watch TV and his monster stat lines have have everyone talking the next day. Can AD improve his impressive resume in the postseason, and add that most critical component of becoming an NBA legend, playoff success? Plus, MLB Spring Training is underway, Vegas has all the odds for your World Series favorites, and we’re taking a look at the expected contenders. So sit back, MLB Spring Training is here, the NBA is basically a perpetual news cycle and we're breaking down how it's all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast, so let's get rolling. . .

It’s hard to believe that the NBA season is already entering the playoff stretch, but here we are, almost 60 games in. The action, analysis and anecdotes have been non-stop, as the possibility of dark horse contenders like the Rockets and Raptors becomes more viable and the super-star contingent of NBA players continues to explode. The level of talent in the league seems to be nearing an all-time high (Golden Age anyone?) so today, Gaber and I will pick the 2018 NBA Dream Team, the best of the best, to form the best team on the planet and maybe the best ever assembled. So sit back, it’s the NBA, more NBA and nothing but the NBA, so help me God, and we're breaking down how it's all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast, so let's get rolling. . .

We start off by calling up Gaber on the Roundup Hotline to go All Around the NBA, starting with Jimmy Butler’s injury and it’s impact on the T-Wolves (6:35), then we take a look at Anthony Davis’ emerging MVP candidacy (9:40), Donovan Mitchell vs Ben Simmons for ROY arguments (23:03), the state of the Warriors and at GS finally getting over on OKC, and predict the Thunder’s immediate future fortunes (29:30), take a look at reasons for the Rockets success and their positive team defensive metrics (39:16), and then look at the Cavs negative team defensive metrics and potential upside moving forward (46:38), and discuss the tanking teams in 2018 (51:30).

Whether NBA, NFL, MLB or NHL, All Star games are usually pretty much a crapshoot in terms of entertainment value, but the NBA was ahead of the curve in Sunday night’s main event. An exhibition can hardly match a real game in terms of intensity, and that’s not what we expect. We just want to be entertained, and I feel I can pretty confidently say that the NBA delivered. But with the break behind us and the playoff stretch ahead, there are a ton of storylines developing, with the upstart Raptors and Rockets atop the standings, a Celtics slump, a Warriors 1st quarter malaise, a Cavalier youth movement, and I get the feeling that the best of NBA 2017 is yet to come. So sit back, it’s the NBA, more NBA and nothing but the NBA, so help me God, and we're breaking down how it's all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast, so let's get rolling. . .

It’s been like this all along. Just as soon as the Warriors’ finished clinching their second title in three years, NBA free agent talks began, then came the draft, then summer league, then the early season tip off. Now, as the NBA enters the All Star break, all of the storylines we’ve been following over the past year are playing out, and the spotlight is shining bright on the Association. We have a revamped Cavs squad following the trade deadline, a controversial philosophy on prescribed rest for superstars, rampant disrespect for Draymond Green, Al Horford and Klay Thompson from the national media, and a few exciting young teams in the Nuggets and Jazz to discuss today, and since the NBA is alone on the national stage, we’re gonna cover it all. So sit back, it’s the NBA, more NBA and nothing but the NBA, and we're breaking down how it's all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast, so let's get rolling. . .

The Eagles are champs, their title dreams realized in one of the greatest Super Bowl games ever played, against one of the greatest franchises in NFL history, and against one of the greatest coach/QB tandems ever. Talk about dreaming big. But you can’t really call the Patriots’ loss a nightmare, given the fact that this was their 8th Super Bowl, and everything from here on out is gravy. As a non-partisan observer, it’s a win all around; great game, new champ, and best of all, the #Tommy hype train can slow it’s roll a bit. See, everyone wins here.

Tom Brady sets out on Sunday to add to his legacy; garnering a sixth ring puts him in elite company, in a pantheon that includes Bill Russell and Michael Jordan. But can you even compare #Tommy and MJ? And does it even matter when there’s a Super Bowl to be played? Supposedly everyone is looking past the Eagles and anointing the Patriots as champs again, but the money flooding Vegas on the Eagles says the 5.5 point opening line was too high, and the dominant Eagles’ D is gonna be tough for Brady to look past on Sunday. Elsewhere, the headlines from the NBA just keep on coming, and whether good news or bad, it’s all too intriguing to not talk about, even during Super Bowl week.

It’s the Patriots and the Eagles in the Super Bowl. . . hold up, there’s still over a week to go before the big game and there will be plenty of time to break it down from every angle, which we will of course be doing next week. But today, we’re doing a deep dive into the Association for some midseason analysis, as we look at the All Star reserves and how our picks the past few weeks lined up, the results of the first ever All Star Draft, and a few of the most relevant teams in the NBA right now.

So we’ve got the Jaguars led by Blake Bortles, the Vikings led by Case Keenum and the Eagles led by Nick Foles as the remaining challengers to the reigning champion Patriots, led by the king of QBs, Tom Brady. Not quite what anyone imagined coming into the year, and at first glance, it looks like an easy path to a repeat for #Tommy and Co. But the way the playoffs have gone this year, be careful before you crown the Patriots too soon. Believe it or not, the Jags actually have a chance to win at Gillette this weekend, and we’ll tell you how.

Marcus Mariota is a gamer and Derrick Henry is a beast but the Chiefs still should have won on Saturday. The Rams had all the advantages, checked all the boxes coming into the game, but the Falcons showed up in LA and the Rams didn’t. Cam and the Panthers had chances against the Saints, but as we advance to the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs, all these teams can do is wonder what went wrong. And as the NBA All-Star break approaches, we take a look at our ideal rosters and make some tough cuts from the team, as well as examine modern point guard play in the Association. So sit back, the NFL playoffs are underway, the NBA season is in full swing and we're breaking down how it's all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast, so let's get rolling. . .

The long NFL winter has led to this: Wild Card weekend. This season’s playoffs will feature a lot of new faces, as seven teams that didn’t make it last year are in this year’s postseason tournament, but #Tommy and the champion Patriots aren’t in any hurry to vacate the title. And as the NBA All Star Break approaches, a new group of young would-be All Stars is on the rise, but the ranks of the old guard are deep, and not at all eager to give up their spots.
