About this episode
Adam Mares and Tim Legler break down the biggest NBA games and stories, from Andre Drummond and Kris Dunn’s “fake fights,” Luka Doncic torching the Clippers, and whether the Clippers can right the ship. The guys discuss Jalen Williams’ return to the league-leading OKC Thunder, the Raptors’ playoff outlook, Golden State’s trade needs, and how bad tanking could get this season. They dive into why the NBA Cup will finally matter, bold predictions for the Pistons as a potential 1-seed, and which young star; LaMelo Ball, Trae Young, or Ja Morant, Legler would start an expansion team with. They close with major trade predictions and three fake trades that could shake up the NBA playoff picture. 00:00 - Intro 02:17 - The Washington Wizards surprise the Hawks 03:40 - Anthony Black is the bellwether for the Orlando Magic’s success 06:22 - Andre Drummond, Kris Dunn and the fake fights that started in the NBA last night 09:36 - Lakers down the Clippers on a 24 point first quarter from Luka Doncic 12:25 - Can the LA Clippers right the ship? 19:17 - What will happen when Jalen Williams returns to the league leading OKC Thunder? 30:43 - Will the Toronto Raptors host a playoff series this year? 38:55 - Do the Golden State Warriors need to make a trade? 43:17 - How bad will tanking get in the NBA this year? 48:40 - The NBA Cup will finally matter this year 52:57 - Prediction: The Detroit Pistons will end the year as the #1 seed 55:50 - Who would Tim Legler start his expansion team with?
