Brad Hardin and Mr. ATL Player Development Jordan Boatwright breakdown the loss to the Knicks which may have exposed some storylines developing in this early season that could lead to some potential changes for the Hawks. Jordan brings some very HOT takes and things for Hawks fans to consider and watch. They also preview Hawks vs. Hornets as they look to get out of this 2 game skid.
Give me the hot sauce! Host Greg Mroz reacts & gives his thoughts on the Bulls comeback win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday night in Portland. Chicago trailed by as many as 20, including 18 after the 1st quarter, but fought back thanks to a career night on the boards from Coby White, another all around solid performance from Otto Porter Jr, and some great bench play from Thad Young.
It’s never dull when you cover the Sacramento Kings. A frustrating 6 quarters of play is being magnified because of a Twitter trade request by Marvin Bagleys dad. Kings started at 3-1 and have lost 3 straight. What has changed? Is it Haliburton’s absence? When will he return? Should Tyrese start? Should Bagley go to the bench? Luke Walton’s difficult position. A lot of Kings basketball ahead. Jill and Damien touch on Sam Amick’s conversation with Bogi and what they took away from it.
The Grizz Next Gen turn back the clock to a little bit of Grit and Grind, but come up short. Grizzlies drop a nail biter to the Lakers 94-92 to fall to 2-5 on the season. David and Isaac are postgame.
Kudos to coach Carlisle’s lineup changes that sparked defensive juice for tonight’s win over the Rockets! Lawrence has his instant reaction to Luka’s big game, Cauley-Stein in the starting five, and more!
Host Greg Mroz reacts & gives his thoughts on the Bulls win over the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday night at the United Center. Zach Lavine went off, Coby White had a great 2nd half, and Patrick Williams is making a huge impact on the defensive side. Even without Luka Doncic, the Bulls thoroughly handled the boys from Dallas.
Desmond Bane continues to impress and Xavier Tillman makes his debut. Grizzlies fall 108-94 to the Defending Champion Lakers after LBJ takes over in the 4th. David is postgame.
Brad Hardin does a double feature as he covers the big win vs. Brooklyn on New Year’s Day, but the disappointing loss to Cleveland on January 2nd. With the Hawks’ first back-to-back of the year, he talks through the good and the bad from this two game stretch.
As we near the end of week two, Brandon welcomes Chris Murch to the show to take the temperature of Clippers hoops! A dud in Utah and a clunker to Dallas sandwiched around four dominant efforts mark a mostly positive start to the year. The guys discuss Lue’s offense, the superstar performances, and where the Clippers need to be at the end of January.
The Lakers are 4-2, but an ankle injury to KCP will again force Frank Vogel’s hand to be creative with his Lakers lineups. JC and Ethan break down the start, how the Lakers can move forward sans KCP & Caruso (COVID-19 protocols), and what the fellas would like to see from this Lakers team going forward.
The guys also hit on some potential rotation tweaks like more Kieff minutes at the expense of Trez, check-in on both Kuz and THT, and wonder about the shift in identity and how the Lakers can protect the paint as the season progresses. All aboard!
On a fully loaded edition of the show, Greg Mroz recaps the Bulls 133-130 win over the Wizards on New Year’s Eve, then chats about their blowout loss in Milwaukee on New Year’s Day. Lawrence Brooks of Hoop Ball Mavs then comes on the show to preview the Bulls matchup against Dallas on Sunday.
