SHOW 23! It's the GOAT show! And take our word for it, it's a pretty great show! Some recent news is dominated by the latest on Anthony Davis. He's given the Pelicans some more teams, but it seems like him and Rich Paul are just leading things to the Lakers. The biggest news of the week is the Porzingis plan, and we've our Mavericks fan is here to break down everything with the trade. We also speak about what the Knicks are planning to do from here. The All Star Reserves have been announced, and there were some major omissions that we discussed. A mock draft for the All Star Game leads us to our final topic where Kyrie Irving has backtracked on some of his comments in October. We go to war talking about what he said and what he means. ENJOY!

THE NEWS IS HERE! Anthony Davis has come out and requested a trade from the New Orleans Pelicans. In today's show, after going over some recent news that includes Ben Simmons' first attempted 3 of the year, we break down the request for a trade and the possible places he could land. As of recording this show, there were three main places he could wind up! So we break down all those options! Then, the All Star Starters have been announced, and there were some interesting omissions when you consider the fan vote. We made our predictions for who the reserves would be, and surprisingly agreed on a lot! Lastly, Victor Oladipo's injury brings up some questions about the powers in the Eastern Conference. We discuss if things are changing and where these teams will end up, based on how they are playing now!

Not a ton of news to go over this week, but James Harden is on an absolute tear, and it's time to give him the respect he deserves! There were a few note worthy things, like Carmelo being traded, Fultz returning to the 76ers, and Boogie joining the Warriors! The Utah Jazz have recently started turning things around, which is very coincidental to last year... just how far can they keep this going? Earlier in the season, we talked about how scoring in the NBA was up, and it hasn't changed at all! What's the cause of it, and how does it compare to last year, 10 years ago, and 20 years ago? We are going to let you know the answer to all these things!

What a show... First up, old friends Tom Thibadeau and Jimmy Butler had a bit of news this week! One of them got fired, and the other struggling in his new role... After that, we get to talking about what's going wrong with the Houston Rockets and the Boston Celtics. Both teams had high expectations going into the year, and both of them are struggling to hit their potential. Can they get there? Fan voting for the All Star game is winding down, so we are talking about the results to this point. Are the potentially voted starters the right choice? Then we gave our opinion on who the starters should be. Lastly, now that we are halfway through the season, we chat about who the front runners for the NBA awards are!

On this week's show, we area half way through the NBA season! At the time of recording, teams were just under 41 games played. We took a look at EVERY single team in the NBA and talked about where they are at, and where they will likely be by the end of the year! We had a much bigger show planned, but when the Eastern Conference took half an hour to discuss, we decided to audible to just the check ins on each team! There’s so much to discuss!

This week's show really did write itself. The Warriors have started to show a chink in their armor, with two of their All Stars having an on court argument while another of their All Stars is out with an injury. We had to break down and discuss what happened and what could happen with the team going forward! The discussion went to Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and even Anthony Davis' upcoming free agency! Also this week, the Jimmy Butler saga has concluded! At least for now... After his trade to the 76ers, we discuss how we feel that is going to work out, if he stays after the year, and even how this will impact the Timberwolves. Lastly, league veteran, Carmelo Anthony's, time Houston is over. Can he fit in on any teams, and are the Rockets finally back in form, after a very slow start?
