The Texas Triangle NBA Podcast

We discuss the Spurs and Rockets and their newfound love of playing winning basketball and how to manage some expectations moving forward. Obligatory Mavs recruiting pitch turns awkward, victory laps on our takes that are paying off and tangents about wrasslin' to close things out. Chock full of that weirdness you've come to love if you're here listening. Thank you! 

Our two heroes touch on the John Wall situation in Houston, plus the encouraging week of actual basketball just witnessed from the Rockets. Riffage on DJ's status as supreme emperor of San Antonio, Tre Jones' emergence and need for more minutes and the report that Asst. Coach Hammond is indeed next in line whence Pop decides to hang it up. A typically off the rails Mavs segment and lots of weird w...

Trying to stay positive during some rough to watch stretches of basketball for Texas. Our most in depth Rockets segment to date where Eric stakes his claim on Silas island, lots of Spurs riffin and discussion on the Mavs without Luka as well. This sandwich comes with "extra Mike."

Back with an analysis of this week's Texas Travesties the Rockets & Spurs as well as Mavs outlook, MechaStephzilla and a few other notes from around the league. Lots of good rants from two dudes who aren't accustomed to a rebuild. 

Early season returns from the three Texas teams have run the full spectrum of emotions and we dive into it all like two guys who aren't used to supporting rebuilding teams. Also some all in good fun fanbase bridge burning, lots of takes about the rest of the league too! Random cinematic universe crossover ideas and everything. Long and worth every minute. 

Way too early returns, predictions and bold declarations after a wild opening week in the NBA! The young Spurs, the Jekyll & Hyde Rockets and America's Team's Little Brother in Dallas. Plus, lots of Lakers slander and a new nickname we hope catches on. Love for two Eastern Conference teams not named the Brooklyn Nets and more!

New Season, New....Season! We discuss our Spurs and Rockets takeaways after their preseason CLASH a few nights ago, make some fun regular season predictions and analysis and generally walk that fine line between "interesting basketball perspective" and "off the rails" like you've come to expect from us. See you all season long! 

Impressions from training camp, preseason hopes and dreams as we ramp up to the regular season, weird wrestling tangents and obligatory Ben Simmons analysis...that also turns into weird wrestling tangents. 

Our longest episode we've done so far but it felt like only a second...We check in on the Rockets/John Wall decision to part ways, take all three Texas teams' training camp temperatures and pick some breakout/disappointment candidates, and then we have a real good time talking awards and generally ranting about NBA media. Lots of tangents and weird obscure wrestling references as per the norm too....

Time for the Spurs roster deep dive! Lots of discussion on the new guard of...guards sans Demar and the future of the front court as well. We discuss Pop's inevitable place atop the all time wins list, the new players added via trade and free agency (Thaddy Daddy and Dougie Dermatology) and go on lots of weird tangents about wrestling and other teams in the league. Thank you for listening!

Them boys from Austin do their second of the three Texas offseason deep dives with the Mavs in our sights this week! What's the next gear for Luka? Does this roster have a championship ceiling? Was Kidd the right call? Also some fun Ben Simmons discussion after the reports of him sitting down with Sixers brass and making it official have surfaced, lots of Morey slander and bizarre tangents as per...

We're back! Breaking down the bizarre Rockets' roster in a brisk pod that makes some fun random twists and turns. We discuss KPJ's ceiling and fit, the inevitable "Green/Sengun/Christopher elbowing their way into some heavy minutes" issue, the thin wing rotation, some ceiling/floor options for fitting the reluctant vets into this rebuild, Silas + the pleasantly surprising front office and more! Th...

The Two Week Sober Streak is over and what more could you expect from us? Summer League recap/unreasonable career extrapolation that always happens now, Over/Under Reactions and mockings, Pop's quest for number 1 all time on the wins list, and Dallas, Slovenia, Tx getting the 2011 band back together all over Broken Skull IPAs. Thank you for listening and liking our stupid tweets! 

Free Agency roundup bonanza! Grades for all three Texas teams and some analysis on the rest of the league's as well. Victory laps for Coach Pop and the US Team and some fun Summer League tidbits too! MJ slander, more Daryl Morey tangents, all kinds of fun. Thank you for listening! 

Our big free agency preview before the floodgates open at midnight! We touch on the Heat seemingly stealing Kyle Lowry from the crosshairs of the Mavs and some of their other options if he is indeed off the board, what the hell the Spurs can do with their glut of cash, who they should take a swing on with John Collins seeming like he's staying put and a brief goodbye to Patty Mills as he appears t...

Special Friday Draft Recap Episode to celebrate the monumental evening we all experienced together last night. Some riffing on the Mavs' JRich trade and what the extra cap room might be leading to and lots of wild wild Joshua Primo speculation. We're hitting our stride. See you Sunday for number 11!

A Mavs offseason deep dive featuring our old pal and former co-host, Jon Kovar. Lots of in-house options, fun trade spit-balling, questions about Kidd & KP and a lot of wild tangents and terrible jokes in the meantime. Spurs and Rockets Draft previewing and rejoicing at some recent developments and...more goofy tangents and wildly inappropriate jokes. This is a fun one. 

Apologist rhetoric about our cowardly incorrect finals takes and the Rockets preview where any answer might just be the right one, discussion about whether or not Ben Simmons in San Antonio makes sense for anyone and/or everyone, and minor Mavs chit chat. Come for the Silver Fox Scola discussion, stay for the I Think You Should Leave references. We have new cool boom arms for our mics now. 

It's round 1 of our Texas Offseason Previews and we're starting in the 210! Pop's future, in house free agents, draft and other free agent options discussed at length. Finals recap and predictions and some brief notes on the other Texas teams as well. Lots of goofy banter and meandering tangents as per the norm too. 

ERCOT can't stop us! Delayed Episode 6 with rampant Finals speculation, Hawks+Clippers Post mortems, Texas tie-ins and tangents galore! Come for the David Robinson body talk, stay for the David Robinson body talk. 

Your favorite duo reluctantly dives into the Mavs future as they continue to alter the course of their franchise tremendously with a new coach and GM announced this past week. It's also the first episode since the Draft Lottery results so lots of discussion about the Rockets and Spurs' picks and differing franchise philosophies on first round picks over the years. The Ben Simmons trade elephant ap...

Emergency late night get together to discuss the fallout from this Rick Carlisle bombshell. His legacy, other opportunities and where the Mavs go from here. Also big time discussion of the Luka/Harden parallels we see appearing...Playoff speculation and opining bc you know we can't help ourselves. 

More speculation and chatter from around the sadly Texas-less playoffs. We explore some offseason options and lotto scenarios for our beloved Triangle, also whether or not we will need to potentially Zoom in Eric's parts of the broadcast from a psychiatric ward somewhere. Another Pels tangent why tf not and lots of laughs. Brought to you by The Forever Purge, in theaters July 4th Weekend. 

RIP to so many hopes and dreams...where do some of these first round exits go from here? Also another Pels tangent bc apparently we can’t help ourselves

First episode of The Texas Triangle: an NBA Podcast providing analysis from the Lone Star perspective. Hosts John and Eric discuss the Mavs' playoff chances and roster construction while generally gushing about the phenom that is LUKA, the Rockets' draft situation, bizarre ownership/front office situation and roadmap back to contention in a post-James Harden world, and the Spurs' many looming cros...
