The Underhand Free Throw

Getting deeper into the Sea(son) Preeeeeview. Iain & Simon focus on 5 teams that face a difficult journey if playoffs are the goal.

We're starting from the bottom of Simon and Iain's imagined standings. It is really hard to get out of the basement. If you want to find out which teams are likely going to be worse than the other 25 teams... this is the episode for you!

Welcome to the desert oasis that is the NBA's offseason. Emphasis on the oasis part because there's a ton going on and the offseason is almost as fun as the on-season sometimes.

Iain & Simon give you their winners and losers of free agency or basically gush and complain about stuff that has happened.

If you like "stuff that has happened", this is the podcast for you.

The 2023 season is over. The Nuggets are awesome. Everyone else sucks. Let the 2023 Draft Begin!

The Boston Celtics will not let us move on so Simon and Iain have to talk about 3 teams instead of 2. A little bit of Lakers chat sprinkled in here too because basketball podcasts are under strict legal obligation to talk about the Lakers no matter what.

Playoff basketball has moved onto the next chapter so let's listen to Iain and Simon help up turn that page.

The 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 seeds clash against each in the Conference semi-finals for the first time ever. Feels like a Sesame Street moment but it's not, it's playoff basketball and I just watched PJ Tucker punch a guy in the nuts.

Does an NBA podcast need episode descriptions around this time of year?

Unless otherwise specified, we'll be talking about the playoffs and what's happening in them. We check in on every single first-round series.

The time of the year when ball literally is life!

Iain and Simon do the whole fan fiction project of predicting what's going to happen in this years playoffs. They may be boring in the first round (especially out East) but things get a little wild by the time we get to the Conference Finals and multiple parallel universes are created crowning multiple NBA champions and conference finalists.

Part one of the most glamorous ball of the year. Awards Night!

Our hosts are live on the red carpet, and they've got questions about the dresses. Everyone knows the All-NBA picks of obscure podcast hosts are more important and accurate than the real media picks so don't miss this one.

We needed a break from the emotional turbulence of the play-in race so went to hang out at the front gate of the league: the NBA draft.

Iain & Simon provide an in-depth analysis of 20+ NBA prospects and while they really don't agree on Brandon Miller, they seem cemented on the top 9 players available this year. After that, it becomes pure chaos. So join in for a wild ride.
