Surprise reunion episode! Lukas rejoins Marco for the first time in a long time for a pod in a pod in a hostel in Ljubljana. Lukas recounts his time covering the EuroBasket Women 2023 before the pair delve into a recap of the 2023 NBA playoffs, the WNBA season so far, and discuss the Washington Wizards' recent trades moving on Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis, finally committing to a true r...

It's a JVG All Stars episode with frequent collaborators Alessio Conte and Sam Reeves joining Marco for a bonanza NBA Finals discussion. We discuss Denver's strongest showing in Game 3, Jamal Murray finding his strongest form once again, Jokic breaking the game, Jimmy Butler undershowing and what Miami could possibly do to turn the series around from here. Then, Zion Williamson is in the n...

Alessio is DNP-Illness so once again the infamous Sammy Splash joins the pod, and what better time than at the tailend of a disastrous Conference Finals showing for the Boston Celtics. We dissect what went wrong in the series against Miami, ask whether these problems were there earlier in the season, and discuss just how good the Heat have been. Then, the Denver Nuggets swept the Los Angeles Laker...

It's a classic melding of minds as Sean and Dante of The Deep Two NBA Podcast join Marco and Alessio to discuss the beginning of the 2023 NBA Conference Finals. First, we gloat a little bit at Golden State fan Sean's unbelievable confidence that his Warriors would make the CFs, before looking at what the Warriors should do moving forward to keep their dynasty alive. Then, a look at the fir...

Alessio Conte is of course back in the passenger/co-driver's seat to talk through the last two weeks of playoff basketball. The Los Angeles Lakers have proved more than capable of beating the Golden State Warriors, with Anthony Davis dominant and Darvin Ham successfully stifling the Warriors' offence in Game 4 before Draymond Green powered home a victory in Game 5. Can the Lakers get one m...

April 25 was a huge day in Australia for sports, with two nailbiting NBA playoff games including an all-time performance from Jimmy Butler followed by an unforgettable Anzac Day AFL clash. Alessio joins Marco to talk about their poor Bombers and their top-rate chokejob against Collingwood. Then, to the NBA where the Golden State Warriors have broken home court in Game 5 against the Sacramento King...

Alessio takes a much needed break to prepare for his engagement party, so Boston Celtics superfan Sam Reeves joins the rotating van Gundy chair. He and Marco discuss Boston's fantastic season, then dive into a look at the first few games of the 2023 NBA playoffs and the serieses ahead. Can the Kings maintain their 2-0 lead over the Warriors as the series goes to San Francisco? How do the Suns...

The 2022-23 NBA regular season has come to a close with a typically crazy and annoying final day. Alessio Conte joins Marco once again, talking through their picks for the end-of-season awards with no disagreement and few surprises. Will Nikola Jokic's once-again revolutionary season be able to edge out the scoring and success of Joel Embiid and Giannis Antetokounmpo? Were there any good rooki...

Alessio returns for his second episode in the cohost chair, and there's a lot to talk about! First, the final of the women's NCAA basketball drew 9.9 million fans, and all anyone can seem to talk about is Angel Reese's harmless trash talking. We talk about what more women can do in sports to get their due and why the reaction to Reese and tournament favourite Caitlin Clark reveals so m...

The first episode of the Alessio Conte era starts with a bang! Marco and his new cohost talk about the sorrows in Dallas, a team that have struggled greatly since their trade for Kyrie Irving culminating in back-to-back losses to the Charlotte Hornets. We talk about Luke and Kyrie's fit (or lack thereof), why their personalities are at odds with creating any chemistry, what mistakes the Maveri...

This is the second half of a back-to-back, two-parter with our friends over at The Deep Two NBA Podcast , so make sure you listen to the episode on their feed before tuning in. Lukas joins the show for the last time before he jets off for Europe, so naturally we invited on our favourite guests (Sean, Dante and Alessio) for one last gasbag. The goodbye boy gives some early thoughts on what he expec...

The 2023 WNBL season is coming to a close, and Lukas and Marco have been forefront at the action in the series between Melbourne Boomers and Southside Flyers. The boys discuss Melbourne's blowout win in Game 2 and what the Flyers have to do to turn things around for Game 3. Then, Australia's biggest idiot Andrew Bogut has spewed some inane opinion about trans people, engaging in a war of words wit...

It's a jam-packed episode for Lukas and Marco taking you around the league – and the world! First off the bat: young star Ja Morant is in a world of trouble after a questionable string of behaviour – why on Earth would one of the league's most recognisable names do that, and how do he and the Grizzlies turn the situation around? Fellow troubled star player Liz Cambage has signed in the Israeli bas...

It's been a week of flamethrower offence in the NBA, with Damian Lillard dropping 71 points on the air-tight defence of the Houston Rockets, and the Clippers and the Kings trading blows for the second-higest combined score in league history. Lukas and Marco break down these two games and how they might be indicators for how league offences will trend in the future, and how defences will adjust to...

The 2023 NBA All-Star Weekend has been and gone, and Lukas and Marco are once again not too impressed, talking through the surprising highs of the Dunk Contest and the unsurprising lows of the game itself. Then, more WNBA free agency talk! Does Marina Mabrey's move to Chicago strengthen the Sky enough for them to contend? The gang is back together in Phoenix, but how good will Diana Taurasi be in...

The 2023 NBA trade deadline has been and gone, and may have been one of the most seismic yet. With Lukas giving his immediate reaction to the deals over on The Deep Two NBA Podcast , he and Marco instead look at how each move has opened, closed, extended or shortened each NBA team's championship window. The move for Kevin Durant puts the Suns in immediate championship contention, but for how long?...

Just two days after requesting a trade, Kyrie Irving has found himself moved away from the Brooklyn Nets to join Luka Doncic with the Dallas Mavericks as part of a deal that sees Spencer Dinwiddie and Dorian Finney-Smith join Brooklyn. Lukas and Marco discuss the fit for both sides, how far this Nets team can go with a new band of roleplayers, and the deal-with-the-devil you make when you hire Kyr...

It's a bumper time of year, with one of the most active WNBA free agencies in recent memory coinciding with the looming NBA tradeline. Lukas and Marco look at some of the first big moves, including Candace Parker's league-breaking signing with the Las Vegas Aces, then look ahead to some of the potential destinations for players like Breanna Stewart and Courtney Vandersloot. Then, the boys discuss...

We tip off with a lovely recount from Lukas of his time at the Boombox – a recent WNBL matchup between the Melbourne Boomers and the Bendigo Spirit. Then, Rui Hachimura is on the move, clearing the logjam at Washington's forward spot for brighter pastures with the Los Angeles Lakers. The boys discuss how he'll look in the new environment, how this (doesn't) move the needle for LA, and how this fit...

The first drop in the WNBA free agency bucket has landed, kickstarting a preseason that will shake up the league! But first, Marco and Lukas talk about how they would shake up their neighbourhood in a "The Purge"/"Groundhog Day"-type situation. Then, Jonquel Jones' not-so-shock move to the New York Liberty makes the Liberty immediate contenders, especially if they can land Breanna Stewart in free...

It's time for some more serious basketball talk, but of course a bit of silliness to start the episode: Lukas and Marco open with a nice discussion of who is leading the league in heaves and heaves made. Then, a look at some of the classic teams who are flying a bit under the radar. The Philadelphia 76ers are putting together a nice run of form behind an MVP calibre season from Joel Embiid (again)...

The boys have had a trying late December/early January and so are a bit worse for wear on the mic this week (Marco tested positive for COVID about an hour after recording). They go through all the stellar performances from the NBA's greatest in recent weeks, including Donovan Mitchell's 71 points against Chicago and Luka Doncic's 60 point-21 rebound tripe double. Then, the league's cup runneth ove...

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas! Sean Carroll of The Deep Two and friend of the pod Alessio Conte join the boys around the open fire to celebrate the holiday season, starting with the the culmination of the miniseries between the Phoenix Suns and the New Orleans Pelicans and Devin Booker's 58 point haul. Then, it's time for a look at the boys' Christmas wishlists. There's something fro...
