Episode 39: In this episode, I dive into the mess that is the current state of the Dallas Mavs. I have worked up an astonishing conspiracy theory as to why this may be happening, which will lead you to ask yourself a question you once thought the answer to, was a no-brainer.  That and a whole lot more on the NBA, including --  The current state of the Portland Trail Blazers,  The New York Knicks, ...

That and more NBA stories plus some Yankees stuff and Hap...

This Knicks season has been a dream.  This playoff series has been a nightmare.  How did the Knicks seamlessly go from one to the other?  It obviously starts with Randle, which in my opinion only reiterates just how crucial he's been to this team's success. Where would they be without him? While I am not yet ready to pack my bags and start the offseason talk, the end seems to be nea...

Episode 37!! (I know I said 36 but it's 37): I started the episode by asking the question that's been asked twice before in the playoffs -- "what if Chris Paul was healthy?".  Yes, we've asked this question in the past, and again we may be looking at a completely different series if CP3 was at 100% physically. I quickly ran around the league, talked about Dame Time, Luka Magic, Ja vs Jazz, an...
