We give you NBA analysis that’s as entertaining as the Showtime Lakers and as volatile as the relationship between Steph Marbury and Larry Brown. Brought to you by two rec league all-stars: Ben Teitelbaum, a former British college basketball standout and current video producer for Sports Illustrated, and Doug Kralstein, who once tore his ACL on a Lebron-esque chasedown block.

Ben and Doug draft all 30 NBA teams for their annual season-long wins pool. Can the Warriors win 74 games? Will Cleveland or Boston take the East? Will the T-Wolves or 76ers make a bigger jump? Should Stan Van Gundy leave the Pistons to become the face of a children's cereal? These questions, and more, answered on Ballershorts' season 2 premiere.

Early Playoff Thoughts (and some lingering MVP talk)
Are the Celtics done? Who has the best shot to unseat the Cavs? Is this Doug's chance? (Plus some Russ vs. Harden talk that's admittedly outdated because we recorded this podcast before Wednesday night's bonanza.)

March Madness Preview Special
Ben and Doug break down the NCAA Tournament bracket, discussing more than just the usual upsets, sleepers, and Final Four picks. They also debate whether Sasha Vujacic would've been the most hated Duke player ever, which college's alumni would make the best NBA team, and what to bet to make money in March.

NBA Trade Deadline Recap
The 2017 NBA trade deadline was pretty lifeless, but there's intrigue in the inaction. Ben and Doug analyze why the Celtics screwed up by standing pat, how the 76ers got fleeced in their Nerlens Noel trade with the Mavs, whether the Bulls or Pacers have any direction, and if the Thunder made themselves legitimately dangerous. Plus brief breakdowns of all 30 teams in the league.

Isaiah Thomas' real value; where the Jazz go from here; Charles Oakley's arrest
Ben and Doug discuss whether Isaiah Thomas can be the first option on a title contender, how the Jazz are like the Grizzlies (and whether that's good enough), who really makes the Wizards go, what's going on with the streaking Heat, a brilliant idea for leasing/lacing shoes, and, of course, Charles Oakley's arrest and the latest Knicks dysfunction.
