  • Episode 22: Some Smooth Jazz to Get You in the V-Day Mood
    Welcome back to the Up and Under and Happy Valentine's Day! Hope your love life makes more sense than the NBA standings right now. Not a good initial sign that you're spending your day with us.
    This week Conor, Francis, and Grant discuss the NBA-leading Utah Jazz (2:07), the jumble of teams in the playoff race and its effects on the trade market (15:49), the league's most disappointing players so far (28:13) and, finally, fall off the wagon and back onto the ponies (48:03).

  • Episode 21: James Harden Trade and Early MIP Race
    What, another episode already?! Mercifully, we will not typically be releasing episodes every three days, but duty calls when James Harden gets traded. So welcome to a leisurely emergency episode of The Up & Under. On this episode Francis and Grant give their initial reactions and grade the four-team blockbuster trade from every angle (00:46) and then discuss an early season Most Improved Player race that is getting frisky (29:25).

  • Episode 20: Early Season Storylines

    Welcome back to the Up and Under! In our first ever season-opening episode, we dive into a bunch of topics that will surely be irrelevant in a month. Enjoy!


    The storylines we discuss include an already-irrelevant-because-we-recorded-before-the-Harden-trade evaluation of the surprising and exciting Indiana Pacers (2:46); the Nuggets poor start due to (cough predictable cough) defensive struggles (17:16); the short and long-term watchability of the continued Sprawlball evolution (27:52); Anthony Davis' nonchalant first two weeks (38:37); and, of course, the Coronavirus and it's impact on the unpredictability of the season (47:46).

  • Episode 16: 2020 NBA Mock Draft

    Welcome to Season 2 of the Up & Under! We had a shortened offseason due to the NBA's desire to get paid. LeBron told us we should just take the first month off. We said maybe in year eighteen LeBron, but our legs are young and we're still paying off that house we bought for our cousin.

    This week Conor, Francis, and Grant open it up with a breakdown of Frank's Twitter draft experience as the GM of the Clippers (2:38), before heading into our own official Up & Under 2020 NBA Mock Draft (30:46). Mock decisions were made, mock careers were ruined, and Adam Silver's mock skeleton hands were shaken 30 mock times.

  • Episode 15: Final Finals Thoughts

    As the NBA season has finally come to an end, we're not done just yet. We've got some exciting stuff planned for the offseason, but until then please enjoy us talking about actual basketball for the last time for either a very short or very long period of time. 

    This week Conor, Francis, and Grant are pretty schloppy, but still manage to discuss the Lakers championship (3:00) and its impact on LeBron's legacy (24:34), the continued development of Anthony Davis (35:21), Tyler Herro's future (48:57), and projections for the Heat and Lakers in 2021 (56:40).

  • Episode 14: NBA Finals Preview

    This is the day that LeBron has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.

  • Episode 13: September Madness
    "Dissents speak to a future age. It's not simply to say, 'My colleagues are wrong and I would do it this way.' But the greatest dissents do become court opinions and gradually over time their views become the dominant view. So that's the dissenter's hope: that they are writing not for today, but for tomorrow." - Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
    This week Conor, Francis, and Grant talk about the Clippers' collapse against the Nuggets (4:41) and whether it means next season is championship or bust for the Clips (18:46); break down the Western (26:16) and Eastern Conference Finals (48:25); put themselves in the shoes of a Freak (35:39); and, as one should always do, double down on an eleven (1:07:09).
