The Phoenix Suns beat the Memphis Grizzlies 119 – 94. The Grizz defense continues to struggle against dribble penetration and when you are facing CP3…that’s a much larger issue. David and Isaac are postgame after another devastating loss.
KingsCast: A Fun Friday Show With Sac Republic’s…
Coming off their ugliest loss of the season, the Kings gave us plenty to vent about… so that’s exactly what we did.
The highly opinionated, ever-entertaining Connor Sutton (host of “The Breakaway: A Republic FC podcast”) grabs a mic, a dark room, and joins us for this episode. We cover the Kings recent woes, their next opponent (and why Sam admittedly fears them) and Marvin Bagley’s next home. We end, as usual for Friday’s, with “Jill’s Water Cooler,” and Connor even takes it upon himself to share his own fun story (it was okay. He tried).

LakersCast: The Lakers, Cohesion, and Resetting the Baseline
Coming off of what was unquestionably their best win of the season, the Lakers’ season can be summarized in one of two ways: the pessimist says they’re just 7-5 with a ton of questions, injuries, and a lot to be desired. The optimist says this team is just two careless games away vs. OKC from a 9-3 record and nobody would be talking about any of the items that are currently conversational bullets. The realist knows it’s all somewhere in between.
For the first time all season, the Lakers played with a team cohesion from start to finish in the win vs. Miami, the role players really stepped up to the plate, and the full Russell Westbrook experience is both why the Lakers won and almost lost all in the same swoop.
Ethan returns for a solo show to talk about all of that, the Alex Caruso story that will not go away, and much more in 30 action-packed minutes of the Hoop Ball Lakers podcast.

KingsCast: The Kings Hate 3rd Quarters, And Another…
On Monday, the Kings were granted a golden chance to snag a win from the Ayton-less Phoenix Suns. In typical Sacramento fashion, they fell asleep in the second half, before waking up just a bit too late.
We recap that “disgusting” game, analyze GM Monte McNair’s random Monday interview with The Athletic, and send out ~ good vibes ~ in hopes this 2-game losing skid will quickly end in San Antonio tonight.

LakersCast: Carmelo to the Moon!
Where would the Lakers be without Carmelo Anthony? On a team that includes LeBron, AD, and Russell Westbrook, it’s been Melo that has been invaluable and the reason this Lakers team is *barely* above .500.
JC arrives with a solo show to discuss the ups and downs in Lakerland, signs for optimism and pessimism, and discusses why very little will change unless there’s an improvement in how the Lakers play together. Plus, JC takes a stab at when LeBron may come back and why this group can’t afford to just ‘turn it on’ when they feel like it.
