    The Shootaround: The Importance of "Less is More" Buckets

    Desmond introduces "The Shootaround" -- shorter episodes dedicated to niche subjects across the NBA. In this first edition, Dez discusses the importance of players being able to score in simple ways and analyzes whether or not increased spacing could potentially be the reason why it's become less popular to make the game easier for oneself. Ultimately, the episode is meant to make you think and consider different ways the game we love continues to evolve and adapt.

    Are Big Changes Coming for the 76ers & Timberwolves?

    The NBA season isn't over just yet, but Desmond believes that the Philadelphia 76ers and Minnesota Timberwolves are due to make big adjustments to their rosters this summer. First, he looks into the Sixers' collapse and shares whether or not they should fully embrace the Tyrese Maxey-VJ Edgecombe era. Then, he compares the T-Wolves to the 2018 Raptors while urging them to make similar sacrifices to improve their roster before Anthony Edwards inevitably decides to move on from the team. And after the weekly game of "Make or Miss?," Dez ends the show honoring a pioneer who was known for his calm demeanor and effortless buckets that torched the NBA throughout the 70s and early-80s.
