Kicking off an ongoing series here on the Ramble, Richard Lu joined me as we look at the teams in the *conversation* for the Victor Wembenyama sweepstakes and take stock of where they are, including signs of improvement and areas of concern! Covered in this installment, the Bulls, Hornets, Thunder, and Lakers!

On a nice two-game win streak behind some stellar Luka performances, the Mavs are the team of the hour and I was priveleged to be joined by the great Lauren Gunn to break them down! From Doncic to Coach Kidd to our mututal love of Jaden Hardy, no stone was left unturned in this one!

It’s Lakers talk, and Corban could think of no one better than Lakers Nation’s Ron Gutterman to talk about the purple and gold with! From ranking some of the ancillary Lakers pieces to talking about possible moves, this show is another fun one, and a great way to kick the week off! Let’s Ramble!

The Kangz are no more, long live the Kangz. Sacramento showed up and showed out on TNT against the Nets, and I watched every minute and took some time to break it down. Also, the Knicks outlast the Jazz, Luka Magic, some Pelicans fly, and more!

Happy Monday! On today’s show, I look at all the games from last night and the pair of monster performances we had, and then turn our attention to tonight’s action!

Good Morning, and happy Monday! I was delighted to have been joined by Ron Gutterman as we discussed the most recent Kyrie Irving controversy through a holistic lens, from the responsibility we hold to the media we share and the role played by more significant distribution sites like Amazon, to the complex and complicated search of African-Americans for their true history, as well as the more nuanced conversation of racism/anti-Semitism between groups.

And we are back out here! I get us back up to speed on the Ramble, take a few minutes to briefly wade into some dangerous Brooklyn Nets waters, and then discuss some early season storylines after two weeks of the season and where they differ from my more….colorful predictions!
