Basketball This Week (Done) Quickly

I talk about a busy week of NBA news, including LeBron leaving the Lakers, the Raptors overspending on Kawhi, the Lakers overspending on a lot of guys, and the Celtics underspending on Jaylen Brown.

I talk about the packed offseason as well as the draft.

You can click through if you're curious about the second round after the show.  It got pretty bad after 40 though, the draft guide I used was missing several players I would have drafted from then on Also my knowledge is very thin post 40 this year.  I think I made a good decision to focus more on the top of the draft but I won't have those secret gems from the back half like usual: Mock Draft on...

I talk about game 5 of the NBA Finals and then in the second half do the traditonal end of season carcast which you might be better off not listening to.

I talk about that history we just witnessed.     Intro is Stepping Up By DJ Steve Porter Outro is Triumph by the Wu Tang Clan

I talk about Game 3, both the spectacle before the game and the actual game itself.   Outro is "Letter to the President" by 2pac & The Outlawz

I briefly touch on the latest Giannis rumors, then dive into recapping a great game.    Outro: MC Shan - The Bridge (in honor of Bridge almost getting the game ball)

Game 1 of the 2026 Finals.  Outro music is "Everyboyd Wants to be a Cat" by Scatman Crothers, because everyone wants to be a KAT tonight.

I talk about the passage and weird revison to the anti-tanking rules, and then react to the conference Finals.  I also brutally slay poor Wemby's name several times.

I talk about the rather bizzare stuff coming out of the NBA front office this week, and do playoff react.  

I talk briefly about the latest wrinkle in Tanking Reform, but soon get to the important part, Playoff React, which I do for the remainder of the show.

I talk about the news of the week, and react to the exciting western conference finals and the strange Eastern confernece finals including the big melt down from James Harden.

I talk about the tragic passing of Jason Collins and Brandon Clarke, touch on the alleged trade possibiloities of the #1 and 2 pick, and then do Playoff React and then Playoff Preview for the conference finals.

I talk about the NBA Lottery, and the interesting results of it.  I then do a playoff react

I talk...way too long about my bed.  Then I get into the news, and 

I talk about yet another round of anti-tanking proposals, and then break down the playoff series still going.

powercfg.exe /hibernate off && powercfg.exe /hibernate on No, no, tghat isn't what I'm trying to do. I advise against overreacting to anything, after rambling about anything but basketball for about five minutes (see above).   Not my best effort.

I do regular features for the last week of the sxeason first, then do a playoff preview

I discuss the Play-In Preview.  Also I'm really fascinated by the day of the week.

I talk about the Final Four, some of my disappointment with it (and several other non-basketball whines), the Bulls firing Aturas, the Giannis drama, the injuries plaguing the west, and other things.  I do regular features and non-basketball is Project Hail Mary, kind of.

I have two weeks to cover, so I talk about the tanking changes, the hall of fame inductees, Jayson Tatum return, Jaden Ivey, and other things.  I do regular features.  Non-basketball is me softening my stance on April Fools. 

Special guest Protarget joins me to give you the important bracket picks you need in order to make the right picks.  Sorry we're late so some of your picks were wrong, it's our fault. 

I talk about March Madness, potential conference re-alignment with expansion, and the new WNBA deal.  I also do regular features.  Non-basketball is Slay the Spire II.  Sorry this one is a bit loopy.

I talk about the amazing 83 point game by Bam, the depressing news from the WNBA and, briefly, Jason Taytum returning.  There are regular features.  Non-basketball is an attempt to understand the House of Lords. 

This show goes off the rails pretty quickly admist very little news, but I do manage to ground myself for the Magic City night chat.  Beyond that there are regular features, and no-basketball is Talking Sports With Parents (among other things)
