Is Brandin Podziemski Rookie of the Year?
We're back to talk:
Super Tuesday! Can the Warriors win with the Rookie of the Year? Gotta keep up the Victor Wembenyama love! A fun stroll down memory lane and why the blogging analytics movement fractured, crashed, and burned, but why analytics still won. Tune in! -
Good Riddance Carmelo Anthony
Recorded 2-13-2024
Superbowl Talk! We talk the Celtics, who are good, have no weaknesses, and may be the best Celtics squad ever. Victor Wembenyama is making his threes, as Vince Carter would say - "It's over!" We talk the All-Star Reserves and ... ugh. We finish talking Melo's revisionist history about his departure from the Nuggets. -
Luka Doncic MVP?
For the first time in awhile we got some promo codes! Paydirt24 over at paydirtdfs.com!
A little football talk to start! we check in on the OG Anunoby trade and revisit a segment we call "Brian is Right" We analyze the Kyle Lowry for Terry Rozier deck chairs trade. We talk about NBA All-Star starters and how we're pretty much fine with them. We also discuss All-Star rules and the Steph Curry vs. Sabrina Ionescu matchup. We briefly talk about the NBA salary cap, moving on! We discuss Luka Doncic's 73-point game, the top games so far this NBA season, and the top scoring games. We talk about the MVP race, Joel Embiid's injury, and Doc Rivers getting to coach again. -
Victor Wembenyama MVP?
Stat padding, blockbuster trades, the MVP race, and more!
Embiid and Stat Padding MVP Race, can a player be an MVP w/ 65 games played? The Detroit Pistons / Washington Wizards "Blockbuster Trade" and if Marvin Bagley should dethrone Same Bowie as the biggest draft bust. A history lesson about how Moneyball is a misleading narrative. We discuss Pascal Siakam's possible spot. Spoiler, we think Dallas was a better fit than Indiana. We also question DeJounte Murray and if he should return to the Spurs. We don't believe Mikal Bridges is on the block but do question if a change of scenery would help. A brief Warriors check in! A Victor Wembenyama check-in, and like most rookies he started out a bit rough. Unlike most rookies, a mere 40 games into the season he's playing star level. Watch out! -
Can the Warriors Make a 20-Point 4th Quarter Comeback?
Dre and Brian return to talk a whole lotta Warriors as well as the Knicks/Raptors "blockbuster trade", the Rookie of the Year Race and why the Thunder have Rookie of the Year and MVP. Tune in!
-
Joel Embiid MVP?
Dre and Brian return to talk the end of the NBA Cup, if Joel Embiid is MVP, how Harden is doing on the Clippers, a couple of NBA scandals and feuds!
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.
