FIND US ON THE DEEP TWO PODCASTING NETWORK

The boys are locked down in Melbourne (excuse the dog-crap audio for the first twenty) so have plenty of time to watch and chat play-off basketball. They chat the big win for the Bucks in their most anticipated playoff series, call out Thibs' offensive gameplan, lament how good Brooklyn is and question what AD's injury means for the Suns' chances of progressing to the second round. Also: Naomi Osa...

The first few games of the 2021 NBA Playoffs have been played with ample entertainment already aplenty. Lukas and Marco talk you through the Grizzlies' hard-fought win over Utah, Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton's phenomenal debuts in a victory over LA, the tense tug-of-war in Denver-Portland and (almost) all the other action. Also, friend of the pod Daniel Gafford stops by to "talk about the league...

After a clench-filled play-in in the West and three complete trackmeets in the East, the seeds for the 2021 NBA playoffs are locked in. Lukas and Marco review the play-in tournament and take you comprehensively through each matchup in the East and West. If you came for serious analysis of the Knicks-Hawks series, don't bother – we just jump up and down for ten minutes. Also: the Aces take the seco...

The 2021 WNBA season kicks off, and of course Lukas and Marco are bandwagoning on last year's two finalists. The boys preview the seasons ahead for the Aces and the Storm, then get stuck into a preview and their predictions for the NBAM East and West play-ins. The search for a new podcast name continues – please write in if you have any strokes of genius don't start your own pod don't DON'T.

With the regular season all but done, the boys talk through their picks for MVP, DPOY, ROY, 6MOY, MIP & COY (try to keep up) before the sheen of the playoffs corrupts their minds. Also: the search for a new podcast name begins and Russell Westbrook breaks Oscar Robertson's all-time triple-double record.

In a more freeform episode, the Sleepy Boys© discuss the ROY race, LeBron's return, the shape the Lakers find themselves in coming into the playoffs, if Lukas could go 4/10 from 3 in one game on D'Antoni's Rockets, Julius Randle's long-term MVP chances and Orlando Magic legend Daniel Orton.

With only a few weeks of regular season play left, the situation around the play-in tournament spots in the East and West has truly taken form. Marco and Lukas look at the teams floating between the 5th and 10th seeds, where they should finish up, where they will finish up and where they should want to finish up. A couple wrinkles about each team along the way. Also, Croxton Rooster.

Unique New York. The boys talk about Steph Curry's MVP calibre streak, Daniel Gafford's nullification of Zion, what teams they'd LIKE to see win the Finals, the deservedly lucky career of Harrison Barnes, replacing Lonzo with Gary Trent Jr in New Orleans, how long to give Vucevic in Chicago before the stink of mediocrity rubs off, the star-less Jazz and Lakers game, and the play-in scene in the We...

In the grand tradition of JVG and Jimmy Petridis, Lukas and Marco play a game of "Who He-ombo" – guess which Baguette Biyombo-type nickname a player gets based on their national dish. Also: why Steven Adams matches up so well with Joel Embiid, small-market franchise whingers, the Lakers-Nets showdown, Kyrie and Schroeder's stoush, are the Bucks serious contenders and the magic touch of Gary Trent...

A verbose, transcendental episode of shorts. Lukas guesses the authors of Marco's favourite NBA tweets in the debut of "Who He Say That?", then the boys dissect the KD-Michael Rapaport beef, the Raptors' blowout of the Warriors, the post-All Star league lull, Jrue Holiday's fantastic Giannisless game and subsequent contract extension, who really won the Olynyk trade, what the young NBA star of the...

In the wake of what was eventually the busiest deadline day ever, there were some clear winners and some big losers. Lukas and Marco go through both and everything in between. Plus: which NBA player taught Hayley Williams how to crip walk, the enormous offer the Lakers made for Kyle Lowry, LMA and Drummond's post-deadline buyouts by respective contenders, and Lukas explains horns to Marco like he'...

Marco tries to go in on NFTs in a Top Shot-related rant while Lukas cracks some jokes. With LeBron and LaMelo both injured, how do their respective absences shake up the MVP and ROY races? Plus, the "Meyers Leonard" trade, PJ Bucker and the Pels' awful clutch time loss to the Blazers.

A favourite of the pod, Caris Levert, returns to action after kidney cancer surgery, so the boys quickly check in on his first game back and the chemistry building in Indiana. Also: Meyers Leonard is an idiot, why LMA could be the perfect piece for the Heat to make a playoff run, who will fill those last few playoff spots in the East, Charles Barkley's Chris Paul MVP comments and why tongue-in-che...

This one's bonkers. Relations of the pod Jimmy and Angus join to talk about the disappointing 2021 All-Star Game, Blake Griffin's impending move to Brooklyn and a thorough check-in on the rising stars and falling duds from the 2020 NBA Draft. Angus is a consummate professional apart from the ejaculate jokes and Jimmy is just not prepared and obviously had a bit too much something-something pre-pod...

Lots of basketball talk, very little form from the JVG boys this week. Marco and Lukas talk about the case for MVP Jimmy Butler, Jeremy Lin and racism in the league, the Rockets' merciless dismantling at the hands of the young Grizzlies, the implosion of the Houston franchise, favourite 3-and-D players, an energised Porzingis on the Mavs, the Cavaliers slaying the 76ers and probably some other stu...

After an early intermission where Lukas kicks Marco's laptop over and breaks one of the microphones. Richmond's finest Lakers fan Darrel Osir joins the pod. The crew reacts to the All-Star reserves announcement and Darrel talks through the Lakers first part of the season and what's lacking without AD. Also – your dream room of people to watch a basketball game with (figure out how Fred Armisen fit...

The Utah Jazz suffered just their second loss in 22 games in a busy week that all but proved their contention status. The boys dissect their win against the 76ers, their win against the Kawhi and PG-less Clippers and their loss against the Kawhi and PG-having Clippers. Also: a quick check on the Wiz and Pels, Draymond Green's powerful words on Andre Drummond, and where Drummond and Blake Griffin m...

Happy late Valentine's Day to our sexy sexy listeners! The boys talk about the handsome lil Mediterranean fella who's stolen everyone's hearts (no, not Lukas) and how he relates to the heroes and villains of the NBA. Then: some of the best lockdown teams and defenders in celebration of Melbourne's lockdown 3.0, the parity and competition in the MVP race, and the Tier-1 players – players without pe...

20-odd games into the season, the identity and future of the NBA's 30 teams start to take a clearer shape. Lukas and Marco talk through their title contenders, teams where the championship window is open but won't contest this year, squads that could contend in 3 years, teams in a rebuild and franchises with absolutely no clue what they're doing. Hold onto your hats – it's a big one! Like a f**kin...

Levelheaded Boston Celtics diehard Connor Breheny joins the pod after an exciting week (and day) in the NBA. He and the boys discuss Borek Biyombo AKA Nikola Jokic's MVP-calibre performances, the potentially soft underbelly of the Lakers, the Wizard's insane win over the Nets, possible trade destinations for Bradley Beal and why now could be the time for Boston to part with some assets and serious...

Despite an applauded off-season/free agency and one of the league's best starts, Marco and Lukas have somehow managed to avoid talking about the 76ers so dedicate the first good part of this episode to the boys from Philadelphia (including that Ben Simmons, how about 'im?). Also: the blindness of fandom, Clint Capela's 27-26-5 and rare triple double, the winning streak in Utah, Collin Sexton's son...

Your eyes didn't deceive you, that wasn't paint thinner in your teacup: James Harden has played his first game for the Brooklyn Nets and boy was it pretty! The boys take a look at the match-ups in a possible/legendary Lakers-Nets Finals series, the return of Ja, the culture of winning (or not losing) building in New York, what's going right and wrong for the Pels and a blockbuster trade to shake u...

EMERGENCY POD! EMERGENCY POD! The boys convened on Marco's way to work to talk about the unthinkable: James Harden to the Brooklyn Nets. What does this mean for each team in the deal, and what in God's name do the Nets look like on the court now?

The season trundles on, and so does the show! The boys talk about their new hated players, the entertainment in Houston, the most boring team in the NBA the Tampa Bay Raptors, what makes a good franchise tick, why the two-for-one is really the none-for-one, the resurgence at the Warriors, how good it feels to dunk a basketball and the few tiny adjustments Lukas needs in Washington to build a team...

Lukas gives Marco a glimpse of what it's like to be a Wizards fan as Westbrook wreaks havoc (from within!) on his poor team. The boys somehow find a way to criticise both the Wiz and the Clippers after clutch wins from both sides. They feel themselves about picking the Suns and the Hawks as playoff locks, and talk through the mild to full-blown crises brewing in Denver and Toronto. Oh, and Steph C...
