The Ringer NBA Show

i like the real ones pod but can’t lie i absolutely hate the way Logan signs off

Respectfully, Howard completely missed the mark on the Lamelo Ball conversation. Watch the game and stop looking at nerd analytics that don’t even come close to telling the full story. Look at the team around him. Look at Lamelo getting double teamed every time he has the ball because he’s such a vacuum on offense. You can’t blame one player for his team sucking.

It’s almost disrespectful how ill-prepared Raja is to speak about the topics on a given podcast. Howard is good. Logan is good. Need more Rob content. Cut out Raja.

Howard Beck is not truly a real one. Howard always created an instant awkwardness when he would make guest appearances on the show. Now as a permanent cohost, Howard brings a chaperone vibe to the show and generally disrupts the chemistry of what used to be a stellar basketball podcast. Why Howard Beck was shoe-horned into this podcast, which was finding its footing, I’ll never know. Hearing Howard “cut loose” and drop unnecessary f-bombs, while clearly missing what the heart of the show is about, is cringeworthy and borderline insulting. Also, we’re not buying into the Howard “M.F.” Beck gimmick either. It’s patronizing at best and Howard is too smart not to see that’s it’s a mercy invite to the bbq.
