Customer Reviews
Good break down
They do a good after analysis of the games. They do great by getting right to the games and are not superfluous like other podcasters. A pet peeve of mine though, is the constant “like” by one of them.
But overall it’s a good podcast.
You can be an NBA podcaster!
If these guys can make a career out of talking about the NBA, don’t give up on your dreams kids, ‘cause there’s no way you’d be worse than them.
Dave DuFour ruins this podcast
Everything about this show is great, except for the unexplainable addition of Dave DuFour. Without exaggeration, he is unbearable. I find the sound of his voice to be offensive. The only adequate comparison would be the sound of nails on a chalkboard, but nails also belong to a honey badger and the chalkboard is on fire. I propose a listener boycott until the Athletic takes the only humane course of action, by terminating Mr. DuFour immediately and issuing an apology to subscribers. Other than that, a really solid listen!
