Finally we will talk about some NBA media observations including Jokic and the Nuggets stranglehold on this season's NBA narratives and more.

We recorded this episode on Tuesday night BEFORE the Sixers game when Embiid played through an injury and got hurt again. But the segment up top feels even more relevant now after the game. On this episode we discussed the latest backlash against Joel Embiid after he missed another game in Denver. Then we discussed how players like Embiid and Tyrese Haliburton could miss out on all NBA honors and other awards due to the new games played rule. We then talked Miami Heat's recent skid and their approach to this deadline and moving forward before predicting where all of the big names including Andrew Wiggins, Klay Thompson (?!), Dejounte Murray and others will end up this deadline if they are traded. Enjoy.

The funniest possible thing happened. The two seed Bucks have fired head coach Adrian Griffin and might replace him with Sixers and Celtics legend Doc Rivers. During the rest of this podcast we discussed Joel Embiid continuing the best season in Sixers history by dropping 70 on Wemby and the Spurs, KAT trying to chase his point total and falling flat on his face and also the Heat finally trading Kyle Lowry to the Hornets Terry Rozier. Also Chiodo went at with Celtics fans in the comments on Playback. Enjoy.
