In our bonus weekend pod, we review games from both days, including big performances from Steph, Aussie Ben, PG13, Boucher, Christian Wood & Capela, and answer your questions!
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!
Hoopball’s Brent Carlson joins Scotty to break down today’s boxes including lit performances from SloMo, Keldon, ‘old man’ CP3, plus Jamal Murray is back, and in buy-low / sell-high action, Brent excites us with his Wood take!
On a fully loaded edition of the show, Greg Mrozrecaps 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.

Scotty takes a look at the last box scores for 2020 including Tommy Bryant’s insane shooting effort, Houston’s new big 3, another Russ trip-dub, and proposes a few buy-lows & sell-highs.
