Half a week from the start of the new NBA season (and a week from our annual 'massive overreactions to half a week of the new NBA season' special) Doc and Beeso get into hanging a banner for the play-in, the wrong sort of rebuild, hating on all the teams you didn’t draft and talking up all the teams you did, Jared Dudley in being Jared Dudley shock, the house always wins, being unreasonably Knicks-positive, making a statement, a man in a hot dog suit, 97.9% might have been an underestimate, internally stoked, the Washington C-words, weekend toys, sucking in Seattle, the importance of being Wests, St Kilda’s legacy of success, Australasia’s most Mankad-positive NBA-adjacent podcast and we fix one-day internationals (again).
