Zone D

Joe and Dave welcome their friend Bill from the Deadball Podcast to talk Halloween ball: Frankenstein's monster teams, teams that are a ghost of their true self, and how Montrezl Harrell's penchant for light self-harm might hold the key to winning for the lackadaisical Celtics.  

We are OFFICIALLY BACK! The newest NBA season has started, and we are starting off SPICY! We've got our top overreactions, Kanter vs. China, Sarver potentially doing sketchy things, and so much more! Lets get this thing started!

We save our best preseason banter for last. Unsung heroes, unrealistic expectations, and the questions marks that still haunt the dreams of diehard fans. The best NBA teams from the West coming at you as we countdown until season tip off!

Top of the East Preview is here! We take on 7 major questions to dive into the top 7 teams of the East! Whats going on with Ben Simmons? Does Kyle Lowry push the Heat into the top? Have the Hawks reached their peak? This and so much more in this episode of Zone D.

We keep climbing up last year's standing. Can anyone stop the Wiz with newfound purpose? Can Pop or Carlisle cobble together a playoff push? Will Memphis play a 5-guard lineup? All this an more as we get to the halfway point of our preseason previews. 

As we were editing this episode, news broke that John Wall and the Rockets had mutually agreed to find a trade, so listen closely to see whose earth-shattering prediction that news might change. All your favorite non-playoff teams from the West get some love in this one. Chaotic OKC, hapless Sacramento, and hopeful (?) Minnesota. Less than 3 weeks from the start of preseason. Let's go!

In this FIRST EPISODE OF SEASON 2, we start dissecting the bottom of the Eastern Conference and see what moves they have made. Will the Cavs finally live up to Dave's expectations? What does a Lowry-sized hole look like in Toronto? Can Jahlil Okafor catch a break ever? All this and more!

Yes, we said we were done for a month or so, but we couldn't help it. Joe and Dave talk Team USA and then react to some of the notable new rosters assembled so far in the offseason, focusing on the Lakers, Knicks, Pelicans, and Bulls. Clearly we aren't good at vacation. More offseason bonus episodes coming soon!

In this episode, we officially bid farewell to the NBA season. With the Milwaukee Bucks laying claim to the Larry O'Brien Trophy, we cover whats next for both teams. We then discuss Olympic basketball, and an NBA rumor about Bradley Beal joining the splash brothers. That and more in our LAST episode of the 2020-21 basketball season!

On their way to an in-depth discussion of the Bucks' Finals turnaround, Joe & Dave talk Olympic-sized chaos, increased head coach diversity, and the future of everyone's favorite new free throw chant!
