Great podcasts has many interesting topics and different opinions 🥳👍🏼

The Joel Embiid talk is just messed up I no that nikola is good but Joel should of been mvp 30.2 points a game come on!

This is a loyal listener who values your analysis and unbiased opinions but I have to let you know the political commercial that mentions that some how Biden is promoting gender change for teenagers and kids is a blatant lie and just a turn off while listening to the show. Literally a turn off since I turned the show off after the second time I heard the "add" . I know y'all have to pay the bills and I could probably could fast forward when the add comes on ,but one has to hear the first time to see what it is talking about and after that the thought of it just stirs negative emotions. I respect that the two of you wait and cross reference sources before you report a story so it is is true and accurate . As representatives of your show I would assume you do or expect the same thing with the adds on your show . Anyway I am clueless if y'all have any control over this and I understand the financial aspect but I suspect that other listeners may have had a similar reaction.

Boo

The best.

Please do more episodes though and try to dive into every individual series in the playoffs. The deeper the better.

James harden slander not tolerated

I love this podcast and it’s definitely one of the best but the only thing I don’t like is Bryan’s mic. It’s very umm bad. It makes everyone sound bad

Love the topics but Morten can make it hard to listen to Please Bryan get a new mic

Great pod. Enjoyable listen

Not for me, mostly surface level thinking not interesting at all.

I love, LOVE this show, but if they’re going to have alt/far-right (local) advertising I’ll drop a 1 out of 5 until they pull the political adverts. It does not belong, especially when speaking about a black league then promoting anti-black advertisements. Go back to non-political ads, please; screen advertisers better.

Very good pod. Good content, though too many awards pods. Mort is very hard to listen too with his hot takes and always putting the leagues decisions into question. Very repetitif.

Listen and enjoy the show more times than not. Morten’s MPJ takes are borderline scandalous ... 2nd time he’s had a weird take on him. I understand he’s viewed as an anti-vaxxer and that rubs ppl the wrong way but judge the dude on his basketball merit and progress he’s made in last 15-20 games. Plain ridiculous.

Quickly became one of my favorite basketball pods. Great chemistry between Bryan and Mort as they break down the NBA. Well-informed, strong opinions delivered humorously. Definitely worth listening to.

I love the basketball content, but when you your guest starting talking about the Bible Belt he lost me

Like the pod. Glad the NBA is back and am excited about the quality of the games so far. Messaging has been good and while I’m curious how the NBA will adjust the social justice messaging as the bubble goes on to not lose audience attention so far I’m fairly optimistic. Keep up the great work P.S- Very on brand for y’all but as a Russ Stan y’all gotta relax on the jabs on my guy Westbrook. 😂13 of 30 shooting wasn’t a great look for him but Luka having a 20+ pt Triple Dub with 8 TOVs on 11-27 shooting chucking 9 threes a way more “Old Westbrook” like performance y’all kill him for having.

While I usually enjoy the banter and unique perspectives on this podcast, COVID-19 has seemed to have permanently affected the mood of the conversation. Now it’s an echo chamber for how foolish the NBA is restarting. I don’t find the podcast enjoyable anymore without at least some balance or respect of other perspectives. Top epidemiologists have applauded the NBA’s efforts for safety but you wouldn’t know that from this podcast. Again, the issue is balance and it no longer here.

Best pod I’ve listened 2

LeBron has constantly been a cowardly passive aggressive person. Not a very good teammate.

Great podcast, belongs with the top NBA pods. Very insightful and informative. Love it. Keep doing what you’re doing.

Dude you guys are so awesome to listen to, I mean this in a good way but you guys sound more like normal NBA fans than any other basketball podcast I listen to, literally the only thing I could complain about is that you guys are quiet, but keep going dudes!

Hi guys - thanks for the great content. I always enjoy listening and learn a lot. Best to you and your loved ones. Question - since League Pass is free until April 22, can you create a list of good games to go back and watch? I’m overwhelmed! Thanks again Frank Singer

I love listening to these dudes while working out because of their in depth unbiased angles. Some episodes ago, before the Lakers played Denver and Utah away, they concluded the Lakers weren’t as good because they had not played an above average team. After demolishing Denver and blowing out Utah, they still conclude that no other team in the West could compete against the Clippers in a series! Even after Milwaukee destroyed George and Leonard? Total disrespect guys, total disrespect... “fools gold” and a “level away”? Let’s see what these dudes say after these stretch of games in December.

First off I want to say this is one of my favorite NBA podcasts (I don’t listen to other kinds anyway) and I listen to a LOT of NBA podcasts. I’ve been listening for quite a while at this point and it’s consistently good. It’s made it to my “automatic add to playlist” list of pods. Both give very different perspectives, especially with one being from Europe and one being from the US, but they have amazing chemistry. Healthy debates, and plenty of all kinds of everything about the NBA, not just a singular focus such as just games or stats. Now re: the 30 team play in tournament that was proposed around Thanksgiving 2019. I think the only way this can ever succeed, is for there to be both $ incentive, and non $ incentives. You need the players to care a lot, way more than a regular season game. Maybe not quite the intensity and atmosphere of like a conference finals game, but great basketball where everyone is giving it their all and it’s levels above 99% of regular season games. People will watch if the product is very good. Great NBA games are the best, the NBA playoffs are so awesome. They’re my favorite post season of any sport by far. But the regular season does get boring, and I’m in the more hardcore fan demographic (although not where I watch every day, but most days I consume NBA content). $ will incentive the role players, the people on smaller contracts in general. It’s going to incentivize most players a decent amount, and some a lot. Some not as much though, mostly the stars on big/max deals especially if they’re on a contender or even a team that’s likely to be say a 5 seed in the west or something (so a team that has a shot, and obviously players think they have a better shot than they do in most cases I think). To incentivize those people, how about something that helps the team? A lot or most of those guys are going to be on that team for at least a couple years, likely a few, and possibly longer. They want to win the championship. So it has to be incentive that can make their team better. Maybe a trade exception for the amount of the average player salary? This could allow a team like the Rockets or Lakers to maybe attach a 2nd or two to that and get like say a Jae Crowder type as an example this year. Some role player on an expiring deal. That would help a team like LAL/HOU and many other playoff bound teams who otherwise maybe couldn’t get a player like that because they don’t have the contracts to match. I think league average salary is a good $ figure, that allows for a team to get like I said a Jae Crowder type who’d be a role player and wouldn’t drastically change your chances, but it’d help for sure. Imagine if LAL won it? They don’t have 1sts, and don’t have 2nds until like 2024 or something, but I bet what’s essentially an expiring deal and 2025/2026 2nds (maybe it takes 2 maybe 3 but I doubt a Jae Crowder esque role player on an expiring is going for more than a couple 2nds and an expiring). The exact logistics of how many 2nds it’d take doesn’t matter, I think you get my point. It allows for a team to possibly add a decent role player that can help their team immediately, or maybe for the future by acquiring their bird rights in that trade as well. Another non $ incentive idea could be some sort of draft capital. Maybe you add a 31st pick in the 1st round for the winner of this tournament, and on top of that, the pick comes with a very small % chance of a top 4 pick (a couple ping pong balls essentially). Maybe like the 31st pick and it has say a 1% chance of the #1 pick as well. You can take away tiny slivers of %s from the lotto teams to where it’d be a negligible difference to them. Taking away 1% if you do it right, teams might have literally 1/200th or whatever less of a chance of #1 depending where they are in the lotto. I’m sure they could find a way to give 1% where all owners would agree. Now if you manage to incentivize by making the team have a better chance in the future to win or that season, AND money, maybe that’d be the right formula to where now players would all care more. And it being single elimination would mean not just the top teams can win. I obviously don’t know the exact structure of the tourney but it’d need to be something with a lot of variance (hence single elimination) where the bad/mediocre teams have a shot, but the best teams obviously still have an edge. Also by naming it, giving a trophy or medal or something like that, etc. it would eventually become tradition if the level of play was high. Again it doesn’t have to be as high as the conference finals, but if it’s noticeably higher than a standard regular season game, and stars play, it’s well presented, etc. then consumers will watch. Anyway that’s a really long post but I wanted to give you guys an idea. Oh also ratings would be higher meaning revenue is higher, and it could lead to a way to shorten the regular season eventually to where every team is guaranteed to play at most 78 and some 75, that’s a start!

Can’t believe I wasted my data on this trash pod

This is a great pod, but I’d like for you to go back to cursing more. It was far more entertaining before you were self editing. Cheers gentlemen, keep up the good work!

I enjoy listening to these two be wrong about things as I go through the back catalogue while falling asleep.

I like this pod, they cover everything NBA, post sometimes several times per week, the one thing I don’t like is the quality, all my other pods have great sound but this one is consistently too low

Really enjoy this podcast, one of my faves. Highly recommended!

Celtics, Sixers, Lakers, and Knicks. Celtics, Sixers, Lakers, and Knicks. Celtics, Sixers, Lakers, and Knicks. Cavs, Cavs, Warriors, Cavs. Celtics, Sixers, Lakers, and Knicks. Great takes and intelligent discussion - just need to shine a light on other teams.

Love the insights & different viewpoints. Keep it up

Big NBA knowledge, not big egos. A great NBA conversation - straightforward and in-depth covering all of the NBA, not just top teams and superstars.

Great job guys. Totally must listen for plugged in NBA fans

As a Cavs fan I've been listening to every Podcast that has talked about Game 7. I got two minutes into the Podcast and Sarah's voice is so annoying. It was like lispy, monotone, and annoyingly quiet. I'm sorry I don't mean to be mean but you gotta work on that.
