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!
With KD sitting this one out, Santino thought it was only right for him to step into Kyrie’s shoes and go at this short 5-game slate alone! With some of the worst DRTG teams in the NBA’s short season on deck, we have some stack-able plays!
The weekend is done, let’s surge into another week of pickups and drops! Dan Besbris recaps, RCLRM (Reverse Chronological Lightning Round Monday) style with an eye on a few more old free agents.
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.
Corban talks about Steph Curry’s 62 points and why it was so awesome … also why any MVP talk surrounding it should stop in its tracks. Corban goes in on the Wiz/Nets, Suns/Clippers, Pistons/Celtics, and the rest of yesterday’s games before previewing the ones to come!
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!
