The Texas Triangle NBA Podcast

The Boys - John, Eric, & David are back in town for the start of a new season to guide you through a big ole hour plus worth of Texas Hoops analysis and general gabbing. Summer League impressions from Wemby and the supporting cast for San Antonio, early impressions of Amen and Cam for Houston/comments on the utter disaster that was the Rockets' asset management this offseason, and a praise...

A check in with one gleeful and two despondent Texas hoops fans after the lotto and A LOT of rants about the Spurs AND genuine analysis about their insanely different trajectory and set of plans following the ping pongapalooza; checking in with Houston with the Harden reunion rumors heating up + the #4 pick and what the Mavs can do with the 10th pick to pivot towards contention and keep Luka onboa...

Our three heroes John, Eric & a hilariously sleep-deprived David return for a mock draft just two days before the ping pong balls actually rain down from on high and bless or curse our courageous Texas basketball franchises according to thy will. A quick check in with the final math for Houston, San Antonio & Dallas before a Tankathon spin and then the trio haphazardly armchair GMing the t...

David and Eric link up for a two man playoff analysis special - recorded during the Sixers surprise game 1 victory Monday eve. Quick thoughts on Steph, the rest of the playoffs. Texas topics include Christian Wood appearing out in Dallas, the Spurs hierarchy/draft and free agency strategy, and mentally preparing for losing some favorites as Houston retools towards competency. Fixation on a bizarre...

Recorded just prior to some epic playoff games and the Houston Rockets coaching hire, this episode has some fun offseason speculating for the three Texas teams as well as some spicy playoff predictions/observations and ends with a solo offering of Eric’s snap thoughts on the Ime Udoka hiring for Houston. David’s Story Time returns triumphantly.

Our three heroes return from taking Mania week off to discuss the cataclysmic changes made by the Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets to close the season and the implications of the impending offseason. Also a heavy dose of Spurs/Austin discourse and a reflection on just how special the organizational stability has been. Fun playoff and Finals picks and a heavy dose of Mania reactions/wrasslin ta...

John, David and Eric return to discuss the state of the Mavs after Luka's rather impactful postgame comments the other day, map out their path moving forward as it relates to this season and the pick they owe New York and weigh in on just how close this is to a "doomsday clock" situation with their young superstar. A trip around the Tankathon merry go round is the bulk of the rest of...

Recorded just minutes prior to some exciting Friday action, a check in with John, Eric and David on the state of things for the three Texas franchises as the season winds down. Are Jabari Smith Jr and the Rockets turning the corner? Are the Mavs cornered no matter where they turn? Sochan praise and updates from a frontline commander in the Keldon Wars of 23’ that are currently tearing families in...

John & Eric are back to recap a wild a whimsical trade deadline for all three Texas teams (Kyrie!, Jak! Eric Gordon! More!) as well as some thoughts on Lebron breaking the record, KD to the Suns and the ensuing landscape out West and of course random wrestling discourse because why not

John & Eric return once more to discuss the utter and constant state of turmoil in Houston as well as the Harden reunion rumors, the calmly optimistic but maybe trade storm brewing known as the San Antonio Spurs and the continued awe of Luka and what he's doing to prove all Mavs takes completely wrong at every turn. MVP picks, Lebron/Lakers discussion and random wrasslin' asides too of course!

It's that time of year where everyone's favorite team is just a move or two away from lasting glory so we explore some potential trade candidates and ideas for the three Texas teams and then zoom out and check out some other intriguing teams and potential surprise stars on the move around the league. 

Back from our real life madness, John & Eric (Get well soon, David!) return from the ashes to give you some big picture "where do we stand right now?" opinions on the Rockets, Spurs, Mavs and also discuss some fun other league storylines. 

A heavily edited (like you could tell!) episode analyzing the early Summer League returns from the three Texas teams and around the league - plus a quick discussion of the KD/Donovan Mitchell trade landscape and some random asides as per the norm...

Our most competent Mavs discussion ever thanks to actually having a Mavs guy onboard! Dejounte trade fallout, Jae'Sean Tate Extension discussion, Brooklyn collapse, etc...

We stand on the cusp of one of the most exciting times of NBA fandom and many deals are already in the bag - whether officially or not. John and Eric discuss the Dejounte rumors, Wall buyout, Brunson departure and much more! 

After a fairly eventful First Round of the 2022 NBA Draft, our heroes John & Eric sit down to (rather drunkenly) discuss their first impressions of what the Rockets and Spurs did early on and some long term prospects for how these new players might fit in with their new teams. A few good ole' fashioned wrasslin' tangents but mostly some good kneejerk draft reactions.

Our first ever episode with mid-recording breaking news of this magnitude - MERCY! Lots of draft talk, analysis in all directions following the big trade and bracing ourselves for the ever likely Spurs surprises too. Does Wood get Dallas over the hump? Does Kidd have the right buttons to press to get him engaged defensively? Is this return for Houston kinda "meh?" or is it indicative of Wood's cur...

Is it morally ok to lose often and draft high? Yes. The end. But we discuss anyways? Then we're off to the races discussing the Mavs' playoff odds in a season of it seeming like there are no favorites and what kind of playoff surprises we foresee happening too. 

A spicy prediction a piece for each of the three Texas teams and one apiece for the rest of the league at large. We're entering the home stretch towards the most entertaining playoffs in sports will one or two points of the Triangle be involved or just Luka? What kind of improvements do the Rockets make down the stretch? Was the Dinwiddie trade as much of a masterpiece as the early returns would s...

Reacting to the deadline after time to emotionally process only makes us less reasonable! Discussion of the draft pick implications for the Rockets after the Simmons/Harden Blockbuster, gushing over the Spurs' trade deadline, even a halfway decent proper Mavs segment and everything! Also wrestling talk bc we just can't help it. 

Our fearless heroes John and Eric do a fun trade deadline special where the "Obvious" candidates are discussed - Derrick, Thad, CWood, EG, Brunson, DFS...who else?! Also some sneaky potential surprise candidates that COULD (notice the caps, we know nothing) be moved. Then there's a brief trip around the league mostly so Eric can take a victory lap about his one singular take that is correct so far...

A day late but a buck richer thanks to the new fun Rockets trade rumors today. We touch on the implications of keeping Gordon and Wood, KPJ's ascent while Jalen slumps, and the obligatory Wall for Russ trade rumor laughs. Also speculation on the obviously speculative reporting on Dejounte Murray's availability in San Antonio and analysis of the effect of a new coaching staff on the Dallas Maverick...

Checking in with the three Texas teams at the midway point in this season. An MVP, pleasant and unpleasant surprises and general impressions for the Spurs, Mavs and Rockets with the usual amount of strange and ranty detours along the way. Lots of rest of league stuff too - Blazers, Nets without KD for a bit and the surging Grizz. 

We are stirred from our semi-intentional hibernation/hiding from Omicron to address the crazy Rockets drama that went down at last night's game. While we're at it, we touch on some New Year's Resolutions for the Texas teams, lots of Spurs/DJ All Star hopes talk and where they go from here following the loss of Coach Hammon to the Las Vegas Aces, and an oddly competent Mavs segment where we discuss...

Lots of trade speculation, Ben Simmons talk, hilarious references to tirades we edited out and maybe our most flippant Mavs segment yet. The leveling up Spurs including Derrick and Lonnie and what to make of the interesting standoff in Houston with the center rotation given Sengun's exceptional rise.
