On a day in which The Lakers roster was halfway depleted due to health and safety Covid protocols, they played The Minnesota Timberwolves while also debuting the new addition of another former Laker, Isaiah Thomas, making his return from an outstanding G-League debut.
In a change from our normal Friday shows, we decided to keep today’s episode short and sweet, and without a guest. It’s of no offense to our beloved friends in Kings media- we just simply weren’t sure what to say today.
COVID is running rampant inside Golden One, so we touch on that, who will get to step in and play instead (it’s Queta time), and we give Doug Christie some more love for his 1st W as an NBA head man (even if it technically goes to Alvin Gentry).
The Lakers are in the midst of a serious COVID outbreak, but that didn’t stop rookie Austin Reaves from delivering the shot of the season! Plus, IT’s back with Russ in protocols! Ethan has this ridiculously overfilled Lakers report.
We’re back! Brandon welcomes Law Murray back to the show for a fun one! What should the NBA do about this COVID outbreak? What’s gotten into Marcus Morris Sr.? What’s next for the Clips?
Hawks have their most disappointing loss of the year vs. Houston that led to a solid follow up performance against Orlando. Brad talks about what the Hawks need to ask for this Christmas to end their 4th quarter blunders.
Sam Orlik gives an ode to Steph Curry as he cements himself with the most three point makes in NBA history, as well as hitting on the recent play of Wiggins and Kuminga while recapping the last few gutsy Warrior’s wins.
The Memphis Grizzlies win streak increases to 4. Dillon Brooks and Desmond Bane combine for 45 points as the Grizz beat the Blazers in Portland. Dame time became Bane time as Bane dropped 11 points in the 4th quarter to propel the Grizz to victory. David and Isaac are postgame.
It may not be in the fashion or circumstance he had imagined, but Doug Christie is getting his 1st crack as a Head Coach tonight in Sacramento.
Is it Vivek’s intrusion or his reputation that gave him this chance? We dissect that, and reflect on the many legendary whiffs in Kings history, from Dame Lillard to Luka Doncic. Hindsight is always 20/20- but wow, how this organization LOVES making the wrong move.
David is joined by Grizzly Bear Blues Site Manager Joe Mullinax to discuss the current Grizzlies situation without Ja, Steven Adams, Jaren, Bane and more. The guys wrap it up with a look into the future.
Keith and Trey welcome Mark K from Bulls HQ Pod to the show and they chat about Bulls history a bit. Then they discuss the pressing matters that haunt the current Bulls: Should Vucevic be our center beyond this season? Would you really trade Patrick Williams?
KD dropped 50, and reports of a possible Kyrie return are flooding the Nets media landscape. The guys are back to hit on those big stores, and break down some recent Nets games and the week ahead!
