50 episodes!!! For this milestone, Grant and Francis focus on their hometown and talk Memphis Grizzlies and Memphis Tigers. This is what happens when Conor is away from the pod for too long.

Whatever you think of Kyrie Irving (and I hope it's bad things) you have to admire his flare for the dramatic. He showed up to prom, saw the boys and girls clustered on opposite sides of the gym, and emptied a fifth of vodka into the punch bowl. He's the hero that literally none of us want.

On today's episode, Francis and Grant are joined by Hawks beat writer Nick Andre to discuss the big moments of the trade deadline, including the Suns (2:30), Lakers (18:43), and how the deadline reshaped the conferences (31:27).

Trade Season is officially here. Grant and Francis are joined by Off the Ball Network's Mo Murphy to talk trades and NBA contenders! 

The NBA season is underway with chaos and surprises across the Association. Grant and Francis are joined by the President of the Lauri Markannen Fan Club, Kenneth Cotterill (@CompHedgePod) to discuss their favorite things about the season so far. They also talk about the lovechild of Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo, Victor Wembanyama, and give some exciting landing spots for him. 

Welcome back to another addition of the Up & Under's Most Interesting Teams series, featuring the long-lost but rarely-forgotten Conor Byrne, whose eyebrow reputation precedes him. 

On this episode, the guys review/preview the Golden State Warriors (4:06), Boston Celtics (16:22), New Orleans Pelicans (26:10), Toronto Raptors (35:34), and Minnesota Timberwolves (45:37).

The NBA season is upon us. Time to discuss the 15 Most Interesting Teams heading into the year. Francis and Grant are joined by President of Off the Ball Network and New York Knicks superfan, Chris LeBron! We give our offseason grades and season predictions for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Dallas Mavericks, LA Clippers, Atlanta Hawks, and Denver Nuggets.

No Conor Byrne. No Grant Hechinger. But just like the Grizzlies, the Up & Under thrives on its "Next Man Up" mentality. In their place are two of the best content creators out there. Joining Francis are Kenneth Cotterill (@CompHedgePod) making his 2nd appearance and Vice President of the Off The Ball Network, the Podfather himself, Jeff Hunt (@JHunt006). We talk Suns meltdown; surging Grizzlies; Mavs-Warriors; James Harden rant; Bucks will be fine; Celtics-Heat; NBA Finals predictions. Massive thank you to Kenneth and Jeff!
