Zone D

Dave reveals a startling confession, then grills Joe for his turn in the hot seat as they talk playoff memories, potential, and free agency before we dive deep into playoff prep starting next week.                                                             

In this episode, we talk about the beautiful goldfish commercials by Bobi and Tobi, the heartbreaking news of Jamal Murray and Lamarcus Aldridge, and the surging Celtics. Then, a Zone D first, Joe asks Dave some never before seen questions in a rapid fire question round!

Happy Ja Morant Day! Also, the Timberwolves get new ownership, how to stay an engaged NBA fan during the dreaded injury doldrums leading up to the final playoff push, and a celebration of the NBA's African players in honor of next month's inaugural Basketball Africa League! How you day? I day fine. 

We tackle some of the drama going on in the league, then shift gears to trends happening in the NBA after the all-star break, including the surging Mavericks, and the accidental tankers and non-tankers.

Bulls, Magic, Nuggets, Celtics, Raptors, Blazers, Lakers, Nets, Mavericks, Pelicans, Heat, Rockets, Clippers, Hawks, Cavs.

You get the idea. Trade deadline was nuts, and we're ecstatic!

This week, we take a deep dive into what the contenders of the West need to do come trade deadline and buyout. We also discuss what the PJ Tucker trade means for the Bucks. 

After some questions about Meyers Leonard's vocabulary, we dive deep into trade deadline possibilities for teams who need a course correct - Raptors, Hawks, Pacers, Celtic, Nuggets and then debate whether it's time for Phoenix to launch Project Supernova and shoot for the Larry O'Brien trophy!

In this episode we talk about All-Star Weekend and what it means for the NBA. Then we go into the second half of the season, talking about teams that are forreal, and what we are looking for. 

Joe kicks us off right by calling Luka a Serbian (on his birthday no less...sorry Slovenia), and then we get into it! Not about Serbia. Or Luka, really. All Star weak links, worthy reserves, and why this All Star stuff matters way beyond a fun weekend in Hotlanta. Justice for CJ!

In this episode we discuss the good......and the bad of Draymond Green this week, diving in to how we can treat players more as people and less as assets. We also pick with our Rookie Squad picks with a twist!
