Can Boston Win it All?
We're back after three weeks! The NBA started right after we recorded this, so a lot to discuss including:
The 76ers and Clippers and if they should pull the trigger for James Harden Has Dre joined the Wembanyama hype train? Is Boston the favorite? The Grizzlies and how fast predictions fall apart. The Warriors look good but do they have weaknesses? Will the Phoenix Suns have an amazing offense? Can Ben Simmons make a comeback? Will Chet and the Thunder impress this year? We even end with a hypothetical question about if playing time in the NBA matters for injuries!

Some highlights: Austin Reeves Haliburton vs Sabonis Brook Lopez Why Andre Drummond's sentiment that being a good teammate in attitude matters, really, his stats just aren't as important as others in terms of pay in the NBA.
Customer Reviews
Great analysis but tend to ramble
I love their analysis and look forward to listening every week. Their analysis is based on transparent metrics, they are willing to re-evaluate their opinions if the evidence does not support them, and they clearly also love the game.
The main negative is that they tend to ramble. It would be a better show if they spent a little more time organizing their thoughts.
Best Basketball Podcast!
The hosts are pioneers in basketball analytics, and are entertaining too!
Some good points but flawed
They make some good points but are stubborn to accept shifts in the modern game. Refuse to admit lineup issues in Wins produced, for example they cannot explain the GS death lineup effectively despite being undersized so just summarily dismiss it.
