The Double Double

The Conference Finals have just about wrapped up! The Thunder were able to quickly deal with the Timberwolves in 5 games, with great individual performances from SGA and JDub. The Pacers are currently up 3-2 on the Knicks, with Tyrese Haliburton playing the most impressive basketball of his career. He put up 32/12/15 with 0 turnovers to take game 4, and his name is starting to enter into top 10 co...

The first round has almost wrapped up! We were about as wrong as we could be about the Timberwolves vs Lakers series, but the rest of the series is going about as expected! The Thunder looked phenomenal in their 4 game sweep, and the Celtics and Cavs took care of business in their series, and should beat up on their next opponents. Enjoy!

The Postseason is finally here in the NBA! This episode was recorded before any of the play-in games had taken place. Today, we cover all of the matchups that will be happening in this year's playoffs for each round of the playoffs. At the start of the season, we had Celtics vs Thunder as our expected matchups, and one of us still expects that to happen. The Cavs have had an excellent regular...

The regular season is almost at its end! This has been a phenomenal year and there are some really interesting award battles to watch for. Jokic and SGA are both putting up some unbelievable seasons, with Jokic having a chance to take home his 4th MVP. The ROTY race isn't as exciting as some years, but Risacher and Stephon Castle both deserve love for what they've done this year. This epis...

Welcome back! There has been a lot of conversation in basketball media surrounding the negativity that is constantly a part of the coverage of the sport. We thought today's episode we should go over our favorite parts of this season of the NBA, because there really has been a lot to like. Legends of the game, Lebron James, Kevin Durant, and Steph Curry continue to age gracefully and play at an...

The time has come to discuss the big names that are going to be in the 2026 NBA Draft Class. Cooper Flagg obviously leads the way as the #1 prospect, but guys like Dylan Harper, Ace Bailey, and VJ Edgecombe are making their names known as definite top 5 picks. There are some interesting seniors too that will more than likely be picked in the 25-35 range that will absolutely bring value right away....

This year's trade deadline has been one of the craziest in the history of the league. Luka Doncic being traded to the Lakers is not something anyone would've expected, and the new-look Lakers are going to be an incredible team for years to come. Jimmy Butler got his money and got what he wanted from Miami, ending up in Golden State with a new $120 million extension. Steph Curry gets more h...

The Houston Rockets are proving themselves as a legitimate team to watch out for over the next few years, and Amen Thompson and his play is a large reason why. After his 33/10/4/1/1 performance against the Boston Celtics, it's hard to argue that he's not the best player on the team. The Houston Rockets have a crazy collection of young talent that they can choose to stick with or move for t...

The rumor mill surrounding Jimmy Butler and his new destination have been brewing for about a month at this point and the Phoenix Suns seem to be in the process of moving pieces in an attempt to acquire him. This would send Bradley Beal to Milwaukee and Khris Middleton to Miami along with a heap of picks being moved around from team to team. Adding Jimmy Butler gives the Phoenix Suns someone that...

In this episode, we cover the recent 7 game win streak of the Kings after firing Mike Brown, as well as the Cavs-Thunder matchup from a week ago. The Houston Rockets have managed to hold on to the 2 seed, and Amen Thompson has shown his incredible and niche value on this young squad. In Devner, Russell Westbrook is playing his best non-star basketball and the Nuggets have held a top 4 seed. Enjoy!

This year's NBA Cup has wrapped up last night with a strong Milwaukee Bucks victory over the Thunder 97-81. The semifinals and finals of this tournament were very fun games to watch, and the Bucks have turned their early story around and have gone 12-3 in their last 15 games. The Thunder have had an unbelievable defense to this point in the season, but there are some real questions surrounding the...

Nikola Jokic has somehow improved his level of play this year to something that truly does seem GOAT like, averaging 32/13/10 and dragging a sorry Nuggets team towards a playoff spot. If anyone else wins MVP this year it will be a shame, seed be damned. Evan Mobley has finally been empowered to score and create for teammates in all of the ways we wanted to see when he was drafted. He had 41 in the...

The moment of truth has arrived: The Houston Rockets are the 2 seed in the west and beat the Thunder! Houston has become a legitimate regular season force and their defensive identity is here to stay. Franz Wagner has been the sole talented offensive player for the Orlando Magic since Paolo's oblique injury, and he has done a fantastic job putting the team on his back and scoring beyond what many...

The 15-0 Cavs and the Celtics faced off in the first bout of this season's Double Double Bowl, and the Celtics won! Darius Garland had one of the worst games of his career and Jayson Tatum put up 33 pts to lead the Celtics to a very nice win. The rookies did not have a strong start to the season, but over the past 5-6 games we've seen great performances from Jared McCain and Dalton Knecht, two guy...

Jokic is putting together an MVP campaign through 10 games that is better than anything he has ever done before: Currently leading the league in Rebounds and Assists per game while averaging 30 pts on 55/56/84 splits. This is a top 15 basketball player of all time dragging a still poorly built team to a 7-3 record. Unbelievable. Zion is out for the remaining future and the future of the Pelicans i...

Another week in the books for this NBA Season! The Houston Rockets put up an excellent fight against the New York Knicks in their win on Monday, and The Cleveland Cavaliers have tied their franchise best start of the season, starting off 8-0. The Phoenix Suns and Golden State Warriors have also impressed, only dropping 1 game so far each. And then we have Milwaukee. The Bucks are tied for the wors...

The NBA Season has started off to a very entertaining start through one week so far. The Celtics and Cavs are both 4-0 to start the season, with the OKC Thunder right behind them at 3-0. The Milwaukee Bucks and Denver Nuggets are struggling mightily in their own ways and its hard to see either team fully digging themselves out of the holes their teams are filled with. The Pacers stink! Tyrese Hali...

The NBA Season is almost here! In this episode, we break down our picks for each regular season award for the upcoming NBA Season, as well as choosing who we expect to go to the Finals and who will be the Champions. This is the first year in a while that we've had pretty different picks across the board for basically every award. Zach Edey is a rookie that has generated quite the controversy, and...

The Western Conference Breakdown is here! In this episode, we go from the 15 seed to the 1 seed and give you our predictions for where every team is going to be placed. This is a list that we agreed upon together, and our lists have some slight differences (I am much higher on the Houston Rockets). The West is stacked this year, and regular season seeding will come down to more than just 'Who has...

This year's Eastern Conference Breakdown is here! We like to do one of these every season as we get close to the start of the season, and we start with the East. This episode, we start at the 15 seed and give you our predictions for each seed for the upcoming regular season. Enjoy!

The 2024 NBA Draft Class is probably the least respected class out of any year that I have been paying serious attention to basketball. Despite the lack of obvious All-NBA talent, there are still a lot of fun players in this draft, and a lot of players that should fit pretty well in their respective teams. We have had plenty of discussion about the Big Man prospect off the podcast, today we wanted...

We are back with an offseason episode! We have not made much content over this offseason, but today we wanted to come together and talk about some of the narratives for this upcoming season that we are the most invested in. The Houston Rockets added another great piece to a really interesting team, and I fully expect them to surprise people. The Nuggets have some high expectations for their $208 m...

This year's rookie class might have gotten a lot less buzz than in previous years, but a lot of them have had stand out performances through summer league so far. Matas Buzelis seems like a sneaky ROTY finalist, Reed Sheppard has been unstoppable, and many other rookies look like they'll impact their teams right away. The Win Projections for each team has been released, and there are some...

The free agency pool might not be as exciting this year as in some year's past, but there have been some great moves already made to start off the offseason. Paul George joins Embiid and Maxey to create a pretty formidable big 3 in philly if they can all stay healthy. Dejounte Murray has found a new home in New Orleans, and Klay Thompson signs a 3 year deal to join the Mavs. Chris Paul has als...

The 2024 NBA Draft has come and gone! People might not want to hype up this draft, but there are a bunch of prospects in this draft that could have very long and successful NBA careers. In this episode, we break down the first round of the NBA draft and give our opinion on all the notable picks. Enjoy!
