    Can It Be All So Simple?

    Round 2 is near to its close. The NBA draft lottery is set. The WNBA season has begun. The Knicks are in the Conference finals. The Thunder haven't lost a game yet in the Playoffs. Wemby elbows Naz Reid in the neck in the middle of our recording. Are we exactly where we thought we'd be before the season? Do surprises still await? Join us for a discussion of all things basketball in the year of our lord two thousand and twenty six.

    Pure Chaos - Round 1 of the NBA Playoffs

    In this episode, we break down the 1ST Round insanity that has captured the NBA, and continue memorializing our fallen Houston Rockets. With only 3 series looking like they might produce the most obviously expected outcomes, there's plenty to discuss.

    A Houston Memorial and a Bridge Collapsed

    This week, on the final morning of the regular season we review possible the Playoff scenarios of the day's games (obsolete as of this posting, but not-so as of our recording). We consider the outcomes of the incentive structure built around the NBA's current rules that have led to a third of the league intentionally losing games this season, and we do a sort of autopsy on our beloved Houston Rockets' season, for good and (mostly) bad.

    Some real MVPs, the new WNBA CBA with Mirinda Rose, and our culture's relationship with mental Illness

    This week, we return to discuss some of what we missed these last two weeks, LeBron embarrassing himself, how we don't know how to talk about mental illness, and the labor and practical win that is the WNBA's new CBA with our powerful and insightful friend Mirinda Rose.

    Sick to Our Stomachs with Alex Saenz

    THIS WEEK, we talk with Alex Saenz about Bam's 83, the Wizards, Luka's humiliation of Matas Buzelis, more Rockets than we should, some streaks, too-early and not-planned finals predictions, and somehow not enough Lakers.

    The Mild West

    This week we talk about about the unspoken and constantly shifting relationships between the refs and on court strategy, the Western Conference contenders and why the Rockets should probably just give up and sell the team and we should really quit doing this silly podcast, AND then some more Joe Mazzulla quotes for some reason.
