    Drafting the 2024 Rookies with Dan Olinger!

    A week of the 24/25 NBA season has taken place and as predicted; the 2024 rookie class has gotten off to a slow start. But, gaze into the future, peer, peak, draw back the curtain and try to envision a world in which Reed Sheppard is on fire in Houston, Zach Edey isn't fouling 4.7 times per game and Zaccharie Risacher can finish at the rim. That's exactly what Dan Olinger and I tried to do on this pod, drafting 8 man rotations from the 2024 draft, trying to build our best long term lineups. This was super fun! It gave us a chance to talk about team building, make or break guys and draft philosophy while also getting to wear our fake GM hats! Make sure to go and check out Dan's work down below - he was a great guest and knows a ton of ball!

    The Pacific Division Preview with Judson Walden!

    Is West Coast Real Estate the best thing about the Pacific Divison? The LA teams, Warriors, Suns and Kings might find themselves in a beautiful aprt of the country but Judson Walden and I discuss why we're concerned about the overall strength of this group. Will offseason additions lead to a more exciting season for Kings and Suns fans? Can LeBron and Steph defy father time again? Will Kawhi Leonard ever play at the Intuit Dome? Tonnes of questions about teams that are tough to evaluate but fun to talk about! Judson Walden joins to try and help us unravvel just what's going on out West.

    The Mental Side of Shooting Development with NBA Shooting Coach Dave Love

    Square your shoulders to the basketball, tuck that elbow in, ten toes facing the rim, don't let that guide hand interfere with your shot! When I think of shooting development, like many other I focus on the physical side of things, correcting form, energy transfer, fluid motion, eliminating that funky footwork etc but there's so much more to it than that. I asked NBA Shooting Coach Dave Love onto the podcast because I wanted to delve into the mental side of what he does. How does he gain a players trust at the start of a process? How do you teach a player that it's alright to miss? What's the basketball equivalent of a swing thought? And is our current mindset behind shooting holding us back from hitting percentages that we thought unimaginable in previous generations? Dave was super kind with his time and if you're an NBA nerd I really think you'll enjoy our conversation. Please Like, Subscribe and Share this episode if you enjoyed!

    The South West Division Preview with Brett Usher!

    The South West division was a doosie last year, providing us with a finals contender, a french phenom, a frnachise that nearly doubled their win total from 22/23 to 23/24 and a near full year of Zion Williamson (that damn Play-In!). This year promises much of the same. Now that the Memphis Grizzlies are seemingly back, ready to compete after a nightmarish 27 win season last year, it seems we have 5 competitive teams, all with young stars and big aspirations for the year ahead. Twitter analyst and true hoop head Brett Usher joined to talk about a conference that promises to be incredibly exciting during the 24/25 NBA season. Check it out!

    The Northwestern Divison Preview with Judson Walden

    The Northwestern Divison has as good a chance as any with providing us our NBA champions for the 2024/25 season. Listen in for a whistlestop tour through the OKC Thunder, the Timberwolves, the Nuggets and the Jazz. We talk about divison themes, fun lineups we'd like to see, our big questions for each team as well as some of our predictions for the upcoming season. Can SGA win MVP? Will the Nuggets drop off losing KCP? Can Anthony Edwards take another step forward or can the Jazz finally bottom out in pursuit of the star that'll launch this core forward? Listen in for all that and more. As always Jud was a great guest with a lot of interesting stuff to say. He'll be back a ton through the next season.

    Starting from the Bottom: A Blazers & Wizards preview with Judson Walden and Matt Moderno

    Not all rebuilds are built equal. Sometimes you get a bundle of picks to jumpstart the assembly of an exciting new era for your franchise. Sometimes you have to swallow your pride, tear it all down and leave a failed era behind without a ton to show for it. The Blazers and the Wizards found themselves at opposite ends of the spectrum when they chose to tear it down but we spoke about them together in our first season preview episode of the off-season. Listen in as Matt, Jud and I tell you everything you need to know about these teams prior to the start of the 24/25 season.
