The Texas Triangle NBA Podcast John Cook + Eric Foshee + David McKenzie

The Boys - John, Eric, & David are back in town for the start of a new season to guide you through a big ole hour plus worth of Texas Hoops analysis and general gabbing. Summer League impressions from Wemby and the supporting cast for San Antonio, early impressions of Amen and Cam for Houston/comments on the utter disaster that was the Rockets' asset management this offseason, and a praise for the draft and free agent moves of the Mavericks that turns into a random tangent on The Batman? Not much wrasslin' or rest of the league this week but Texas is kind of our thing.

A check in with one gleeful and two despondent Texas hoops fans after the lotto and A LOT of rants about the Spurs AND genuine analysis about their insanely different trajectory and set of plans following the ping pongapalooza; checking in with Houston with the Harden reunion rumors heating up + the #4 pick and what the Mavs can do with the 10th pick to pivot towards contention and keep Luka onboard. Lots of drinks, lots of edits, this one was…fun

Our three heroes John, Eric & a hilariously sleep-deprived David return for a mock draft just two days before the ping pong balls actually rain down from on high and bless or curse our courageous Texas basketball franchises according to thy will. A quick check in with the final math for Houston, San Antonio & Dallas before a Tankathon spin and then the trio haphazardly armchair GMing the top 14 where some shockers and a wild five spot jump into the top 3 await! Also - one prospect that gives us pause, one that we think is under the radar; Some brief rest of league thoughts and general goofiness as per the norm.

David and Eric link up for a two man playoff analysis special - recorded during the Sixers surprise game 1 victory Monday eve. Quick thoughts on Steph, the rest of the playoffs. Texas topics include Christian Wood appearing out in Dallas, the Spurs hierarchy/draft and free agency strategy, and mentally preparing for losing some favorites as Houston retools towards competency. Fixation on a bizarre courtside sweater choice definitely occurs too.

Recorded just prior to some epic playoff games and the Houston Rockets coaching hire, this episode has some fun offseason speculating for the three Texas teams as well as some spicy playoff predictions/observations and ends with a solo offering of Eric’s snap thoughts on the Ime Udoka hiring for Houston. David’s Story Time returns triumphantly.

Our three heroes return from taking Mania week off to discuss the cataclysmic changes made by the Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets to close the season and the implications of the impending offseason. Also a heavy dose of Spurs/Austin discourse and a reflection on just how special the organizational stability has been. Fun playoff and Finals picks and a heavy dose of Mania reactions/wrasslin talk to end the show.
