One thing we know for sure, it is now a league of duos! Of course it takes five on the floor to win a basketball game, and also bench depth, but at the moment stars are joining stars to then assemble their teams. - Beyond the names on the marquee, we take a look at style, fit and chemistry across the league...especially with the Clippers, Lakers and Rockets’ big moves. These moves not only change the identity of the teams the players are stepping onto, but opening things up with new looks and match ups that will shape both conferences. - - Learn more about your ad choices.

#18: Nerds can't tell you how to play | skill vs. strategy / Are the Rockets doomed with their analytics-driven style? Should midrange jumpers make a comeback? In this episode I address the controversy around “letting nerds tell you how to play” and the idea that strategic decisions are separate from on-court skills.

Episode 32 - The Celtics and Rockets at the Crossroads / On this episode, we’ve seen a couple seasons come to an unceremonious end for two marquee teams. So as the respective doors have closed for the Rockets and the Celtics, we grade their overall performance, decide if the season was a disappointment or should have been expected, and what’s next. For Houston, what happens when they run it back with the roster they have? For Boston, what do they do different with or without Kyrie? - We also get into Tyron Lue’s decision to turn down the Lakers coaching gig, that ultimately went to Frank Vogel. Of course Gilbert has a take on it. Also, he officially announces his fandom of Kawhi Leonard. While he’s at it, he adds on an explanation of his very publicized comments about Vince Carter re-upping for another season at 42 years old. - - Learn more about your ad choices.

Capela hurt; Reddish goes off; Robin Lopez trades?; random prospects / In this episode, Cole Zwicker joins and we do a split podcast. The first half is on the NBA, with us discussing the Clint Capela injury to start. Can James Harden possibly keep up this pace? Then we move to Robin Lopez. Should the Bulls hang on to him for a trade, or buy him out? We make the case that a trade between the Bulls and the Rockets could make a lot of sense, and also run through the other potential options for the Rockets to replace Capela over this stretch. - Then, we move on to Chicago in full, where Jim Boylen got more money, including more guaranteed money next season. We, uh....riff on that. - Finally, we move on and chat about the NBA Draft and some college prospect. Cam Reddish finally broke out again for Duke. Why that's important. Then, we run the gamut on Aric Holman, Terrence Davis, Tyrese Haliburton, Chuma Okeke, Rayshaun ammonds, Nic Claxton, Isaiah Roby, Jalen Pickett, and the weird Kevin Porter suspension. - - - - Learn more about your ad choices.

From how the Warriors will make it work this season as free agency questions loom, to Melo’s failure to launch in Houston and what Jimmy Butler left behind in Minnesota, there’s been no shortage of drama in the early part of this NBA season. - Agent Zero has some ideas as to why it’s on the star player to take control, but more importantly why there always must be an alpha dog in the locker room to determine who’s running things.
