The Pelicans played bad and lost 100-108 to the Thunder at the Smoothie King Center. NAW and JV had good games and that was about it. Lyle doesn’t hold back in this one.
Dillon Brooks makes his season debut for the Grizzlies, unfortunately the Hornets spoil the party. Final Score Hornets 118 – Grizzlies 108. Defense continues to be a concern with this Grizzlies team. David and Isaac are postgame with their thoughts!
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.
Brad celebrates Episode 100 but it is short lived as it is time to be real and address problems plaguing the Hawks to start the year as they are in a 4 game losing streak and lost 6 of the last 7 games.
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.
The Grizzlies pull off a win in overtime after a rollercoaster of a game!! Final Score Grizz 125 – Twolves 118. Brandon Clarke gets extended playing time and flashes some of that rookie season magic with his best game of the season. David and Isaac are postgame.
For the second week in a row, the Kings split their Friday/Sunday games, winning the first and losing the second. We discuss all that went right and wrong as Sacramento continues to tease who they truly are (we still have no clue).
We end by previewing tonight’s showdown against Phoenix and their next 4 game roadie starting Wednesday (hint: we believe they can have a perfect trip *gasps*)
Tatum finally got it going, but it wasn’t quite enough as Luka Doncic crushed Boston’s hopes of a monster comeback. The guys have your recap of a wild one with Dallas.
The Memphis Grizzlies go on the road to D.C. and take a good old fashioned butt whoopin. Final Score Wizards 115 – Grizzlies 87. David and Isaac are postgame.
The Hoop-Ball Kings podcast has had some awesome Friday guests; this week is no different. A college friend of Sam’s, Matia Divac was kind of enough to Zoom us from LA and give us an insight unlike ANY we’ve had thus far. We discuss SO much, opening the floor to Matia as he shares his thoughts on the Kings and what it was like to grow up with a famous Dad.
We could give a more descriptive tease, but it’d be pointless. Odds are you won’t even read to this point- and if you are, what are you doing?! Come on man! Just listen and enjoy 🙂
Marcus Smart’s comments and a players meeting? The Celtics responded by winning two back to back games on the road. Boston holds both Orlando and Miami to under 80 total points each as they try to get back on track. Aaron THREEsmith and much much more!
