141 - Analyzing West's Playoff Race, Spurs/Thunder Plunge, Ranking Tank Jobs / Eight NBA teams are vying for the Western Conference's final six playoff seeds, and things are starting to get weird. Everyone is worthy, and no one is safe. - Can the Spurs survive the NBA's toughest remaining schedule without Kawhi Leonard? Could the Thunder really, actually, possibly miss the playoffs? Is the Blazers' recent streak for real? Should the Nuggets be concerned about their Paul Millsap-Nikola Jokic dynamic? Can Anthony Davis carry the Pelicans to home-court advantage? Do either of the Jazz or Clippers have the juice to escape lottery territory? Should the Timberwolves be considered done without Jimmy Butler? - NBA Math's founder Adam Fromal joined Andy and Dan to try making sense of the Western Conference's hectic playoff race, while also taking an in-depth look at the league's swathe of tank jobs. - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.

137 - NBA All-Star Weekend Preview/Picks, Western Conference Playoff Predictions / Andy and Dan preview and predict the winner for every major All-Star Weekend event: Skills Challenge, Three-Point Contest, Slam Dunk Competition, Rising Stars Challenge and Sunday night's main attraction itself. - After that, the dynamic duo takes a stab at forecasting how the Western Conference's playoff picture will unfurl, offering predictions for the No. 1 seed all the way through to the No. 10 seed and the two teams that will fall just outside the postseason bubble. - The top playoff-related debates include: Can the Rockets hold off the Warriors for first place in the West? Are the Dubs more vulnerable than ever or just in cruise control? Can the Spurs fend off the Timberwolves for third place? Do the Thunder have a chance at usurping the Timberwolves? And, finally, which two teams among the Blazers, Nuggets, Pelicans, Jazz and Clippers will be left out in the cold? - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.

Trade Deadline Fireworks, Lakers beat writer Bill Oram, Paul George interview / On this week's edition of the NBA A
Trade Deadline Fireworks, Lakers beat writer Bill Oram, Paul George interview / On this week's edition of the NBA A to Z podcast, Insiders Sam Amick and Jeff Zillgitt break down the trade deal that sent Isaiah Thomas from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Los Angeles Lakers. The guys talk about what this means for both teams. Cleveland re-made its roster, but did it do something that can help it get back to the Finals? Did the Lakers make this move to free up space to go after LeBron James in the offseason? Sam also talks with Lakers beat writer Bill Oram of the Orange County Register, and shares his recent conversation with Oklahoma City Thunder star Paul George.

135 - Trade-Deadline Wrap-up, Cavs Future, Knicks without Kristaps, Lakers Notes / Phew, well, that was something. - Despite plenty of people predicting a stagnant NBA trade deadline, this year's transaction party lived up to its usual chaotic billing. The Cavaliers completely re-made their roster on the fly—without giving up their Nets pick. The Lakers now have a clear path to two max-contract slots in free agency. The Knicks may have, possibly, for once, made a good trade. The Pistons beefed up their wing rotation. - Even the teams that didn't do anything substantive left a spate of questions in their wake: Did the Clippers make a mistake not trading DeAndre Jordan or Avery Bradley? Should the Thunder have acquired an Andre Roberson replacement? Were the Grizzlies foolish to keep Tyreke Evans? Did the Celtics miss an opportunity by not making a single deal? How about the 76ers? And should the Hornets have traded Kemba Walker rather than acting as buyers? - Bleacher Report's Grant Hughes (@gt_hughes) joins Hardwood Knocks to break down every single solitary storyline and wrinkle in the aftermath of another NBA trade deadline. From Jae Crowder's fit with the Jazz, to the Timberwolves inevitably signing Derrick Rose, to the Kings mucking up yet another series of transactions, we've got it all. We even squeeze in some talk about the Knicks' future in light of Kristaps Porzingis' season-ending injury. - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.

Updates on Raptors, Cavaliers, Pacers and Jazz / The OKC Thunder have won 8 in a row and seem to have put it together on offense. Are they a threat in the Western conference? The Cavaliers are dead last in defensive rating. Are they likely to make the NBA finals? Not as constructed. What needs to happen? The Pacers are the team that if the NBA were March Madness would be called the Cinderalla team of all Cinderalla teams which seems appropriate given that Victor Oladipo is playing basketball in Indiana again. The Jazz got an impressive win in Toronto this week. Should Jazz fans be hopeful that they can get back into playoff contention? And who got our awards this week? Listen and find out.

Teams have until Feb. 8 to make significant improvements or hold full-scale fire sales, and the Association's rumor mill is churning out material on the regular. - Fear not, though, because Hardwood Knocks has your back. In the first of two trade-deadline primers, Andy and Dan go through the nitty gritty for every Western Conference team, proposing trades and providing answers to the most pressing questions. - Which squads will be buyers? Which outfits are shaping up as sellers? Will the Clippers move DeAndre Jordan and Lou Williams? Do the Spurs, Warriors and Rockets have a trade in them? Will the Pelicans make a deal in the aftermath of losing DeMarcus Cousins for the year? Might the Thunder look to replace Andre Roberson after his season-ending injury? Do the Nuggets, Blazers and Jazz have blockbuster deals in them? - Will the Lakers find new homes for Julius Randle and Jordan Clarkson? Should Utah trade Rodney Hood and Derrick Favors?

129 - Kemba Walker Trades, NBA All-Star Draft, Kyrie/Kawhi Injury, Spurs Trades / With ESPN.com's Adrian Wojnarowski reporting the Hornets have put Kemba Walker on the chopping block, Andy and Dan suss out potential landing spots and trade packages. Should the Knicks make a play for him? What about the Spurs? Or perhaps the Cavaliers? - Speaking of the Spurs, they announced on Wednesday Kawhi Leonard would be out indefinitely while dealing with a lingering quad injury. Are they in danger of ceding ground to the Timberwolves and Thunder without him, or will they hold on to the Western Conference's No. 3 seed? Should they possibly consider making a trade? And if so, for who? Tyreke Evans? Avery Bradley? Kemba Walker himself? - The Celtics are also without Kyrie Irving, for now, while he tends to a shoulder injury. Though this setback isn't considered serious, can Al Horford, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum keep Boston atop the Eastern Conference if its point guard misses signficant time? - And finally, the NBA's All-Star starters are officially official. Andy and Dan talk about who they believe was snubbed and also draft their own roster. Be sure to let them know who has the superior starting five! - Oh, and there also might be some bonus Defensive Player of the Year talk as well.

126 - NBA Western Conference Report: HOU/LAL/UTA Falling, LAC/MIN/OKC/PHX Rising / Welcome back, Hardwood Knocksers! - Most of the NBA's teams have officially crossed the halfway threshold of their schedule, which can mean only one thing: Andy and Dan need to hand out midseason report cards. - We start in the Western Conference, where things have gotten a little weird and chaotic and, thus, awesome since our quarterpole grades. The Houston Rockets look human. The Utah Jazz appear finished. The Minnesota Timberwolves are surging. The Oklahoma City Thunder are kind of following suit. The San Antonio Spurs remain the San Antonio Spurs. The Golden State Warriors are still the Golden State Warriors. - The Phoenix Suns are sort of frisky. The Denver Nuggets are disappointing, as expected and exceeding initial impressions all at the same time. The Dallas Mavericks are embodying blah, while the New Orleans Pelicans have prime real estate on Mediocre Boulevard. The Portland Trail Blazers might have turned a corner. The Sacramento Kings and Memphis Grizzlies have not. The Los Angeles Lakers are no longer overachieving. The Los Angeles Clippers are rekindling their playoff hopes. - Almost needless to say, then, we have a lot of ground to cover and less than eternity to cover it.

123 - LeBron to Rockets?, NBA Christmas Day Primer, R.I.P. Hornets/Grizz Mailbag / Howdy, Hardwood Knocksers! Get ready to cover some serious ground in advance of the NBA's robust Christmas Day slate. - Who will win the battle of the unicorns, between Kristaps Porzingis and Joel Embiid/Ben Simmons, when the New York Knicks meet the Philadelphia 76ers on Christmas Day? Neither Stephen Curry nor Isaiah Thomas will be ready to rock for Monday's NBA Finals rematch, but can the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers still view this game as a barometer? - The Oklahoma City Thunder are getting frisky. They have the league's best defense, Paul George is shooting a little better, and their offense doesn't stink all the time. Can they stand up to the NBA-best Houston Rockets on Christmas? - Do you know what the Brooklyn Nets and Phoenix Suns have in common? They both have a better defensive rating than the Boston Celtics over the past 10 games. Can the boys in green steady their rickety, rockety ship while squaring off against the Wizards? - Watching the Los Angeles Lakers is fun. Watching the Minnesota Timberwolves is not—unless, of course, Jimmy Butler is going to work in crunch time. Who wins their late-night Christmas Day showdown? - Andy and Dan wrap things up with a mailbag the covers Brett Brown's future in Philly, Hassan Whiteside's injury, Dennis Schroder's trade value, the hoplessness of the Charlotte Hornets' situation and so much more. - But first thing's first: The Rockets plan to make a play for LeBron James this summer, according to ESPN.com's Zach Lowe.

122 - Anthony Davis' Future with Pelicans and NBA All-Star Roster Predictions / The NBA will open its All-Star voting on Dec. 21, which basically means the league is begging Andy and Dan to build a 24-player pool for February's showcase. - Though the Association has tweaked the rules, allowing for captains who select their teammates irrespective of conference affiliation, 12 players from both the East and West must still be up for consideration: two starting guards, three starting frontcourt members, two reserve guards, three reserve froncourt contributors and two wild-card picks. - Players will be selected based off their performance to date, which takes into account health, team success and recent hot or cold stretches. Some inclusions are no-brainers, but we'd be remiss if we didn't say there were some tough cuts. Do the Oklahoma City Thunder even deserve to have an All-Star? Can both the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets get three representatives? Has Andre Drummond done enough to usurp guys like Kristaps Porzingis and Joel Embiid? Who should join LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo in the East's starting frontcourt? - Before all this, though, we must address the one-eyebrowed pterodactyl in the room: Anthony Davis. - According to ESPN.com's Adrian Wojnarowski, several NBA teams remain "obsessed" with poaching him from the New Orleans Pelicans—the Boston Celtics among them. Can anyone convince the Pellies to give up on him, or is this just noise? - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes. You can also find us on Stitcher and BlogTalkRadio.

Full Court Press NBA Podcast Episode 45 – Team Updates for Jazz, Thunder, Rockets, Bucks / We continue our in-season analysis. This week we wanted to see why the Jazz were playing so well, especially on offense. Well Utah did not get many wins this week but we came away impressed anyway. Why? Did you know they have the 4th best offensive rating in the NBA since November 15? Now you do. Listen to hear more about that. Are the Thunder as dysfunctional as the look? Yes? Is there hope? For sure. Might they need to make a coaching change? We discussed this. Are the Rockets doing sustainable things? Are they really a top 5 team on both ends of the court? We discuss this. The Bucks are 11-4 since the Bledsoe trade. Have they arrived? Most certainly not, they can get better and the rest of the league should be terrified of that possibility. Have we been too hard on Jason Kidd? We talk about why that might be the case.All of this and more.Follow us on Twitter: @willis_glen / @LawtonWillis / @presspodcastFollow us on FaceBook: @fullcourtpressnbaLearn more about your ad choices.

So, you know, let's do that! - Hardwood Knocks will begin with the Western Conference's jumble of craziness. And in order to properly ensure the hottest takes, Andy and Dan are calling upon Associated Editor of Salt City Hoops Dan Clayton (@danclayt0n) to join the party. - All 15 squads are covered—in random, speaker's choice order, we might add—so you needn't worry about us leaving anyone out. Among the most pressing questions, though: Have the Golden State Warriors tried hard enough so far to get an A? Are the Houston Rockets the NBA's most serious threat to the Warriors' reign? Are the Oklahoma City Thunder better than their sub-.500 record suggests? - How do we grade the league's most injury-ravaged squads, such as the Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Clippers, Memphis Grizzlies and Utah Jazz? Do the Minnesota Timberwolves deserve a passing grade? Are we prepared to give the Kawhi Leonard-less San Antonio Spurs an A? And what of the West's preeminent tank jobs from the Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings? Are the Dallas Mavericks tanking hard enough? Are the New Orleans Pelicans surprisingly good or right where they need to be? - All this, plus much more, awaits you in Hardwood Knocks' latest. So grab your favorite beverage and flavor of Doritos, strap in and open your minds. Because the #takez, they are a coming! - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.

When it comes, we wanna wail MAAAAAIIIIIL! - In this week's Hardwood Knocks mailbag, our deep dive into listener questions leads to hypothetical trades for the New York Knicks, Los Angeles Clippers, Washington Wizards, Memphis Grizzlies, Portland Trail Blazers, Charlotte Hornets, Cleveland Cavaliers, Philadelphia 76ers, Oklahoma City Thunder and Atlanta Hawks. (Spoiler: Marc Gasol, DeAndre Jordan, Enes Kanter, Paul George, Carmelo Anthony, Marcin Gortat, Tyreke Evans and Tristan Thompson are all part of these imaginary swaps.) - Oh, but that's not all. - Andy and Dan talk about Avery Bradley's defensive reputation, and his on-off splits with the Detroit Pistons. And then they do the same for Marcus Smart of the Boston Celtics. They also break down the race for the NBA's Most Improved Player Award as well. Is it Kristaps Porzingis? Aaron Gordon? Victor Oladipo? Could it be—protracted gasp—Andre Drummond? - And by the way, if you find yourself wondering what's up with the Philadelphia 76ers, we spend ample time talking about them, too. - Is Ben Simmons on course to be one of the all-time greats? Is he already better than Joel Embiid? How do the Sixers fare when Embiid, Simmons and Robert Covington all play together? Will they ever trade Jahlil Okafor? And where should he go? Chicago? Atlanta? And, finally, will Markelle Fultz play at all this season? - All this, and so much more, is crammed into 73 legendary minutes of hoops talk. - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.

Full Court Press NBA Podcast Episode 42 – Western Conference Updates Pelicans Spurs Jazz Thunder Blazers Rockets Kings Mavericks
Full Court Press NBA Podcast Episode 42 – Western Conference Updates Pelicans Spurs Jazz Thunder Blazers Rockets Kings Mavericks / We continue our in-season analysis. The Pelicans bigs are dominating the competitions. But the lack of wing players on the roster are holding them back. Can they find a way to get and stay better than .500? The Spurs have gone back to Patty Mills to start at point guard, how does that affect the rotation? How does that help Kyle Anderson and Rudy Gay? The Jazz believe in themselves while most of the rest of us are writing them off after the Gobert injury. Are the Thunder what their record says they are? Or is it the net rating? The Blazers are the second best defensive rating in the league? Is the defense for real? The Rockets are playing really well but are key rotation players playing too much? The Kings are depressing, but as always we hope it gets better. The Mavericks are lining up for a good amount of ping pong balls. But what is up with Noel’s playing time? All of this and more.Follow us on Twitter: @willis_glen / @LawtonWillis / @presspodcastFollow us on FaceBook: @fullcourtpressnbaLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

FCP #040 Western Conference Updates Grizzlies/Thunder/Timberwolves/Clippers/Nuggets/Warriors/Lakers/Suns / We continue our in-season analysis. The Grizzlies look like a serious playoff team so far with impressive wins. Is their play sustainable? The Thunder are 4-4 entering play at Portland but look very good at times. Will they find a way to play together but let their star players still be themselves? The Timberwolves still have serious issues on defense it would seem. Are they going to be OK? The Clippers roster is losing a player to injury week by week. Can Blake handle the workload to keep them afloat without risking injury to himself? The Nuggets had a slow start but looked better in week 2. Will they make the progress they are hoping to make? The Warriors are the Warriors. But there are still interesting things upon which to focus. The Lakers and Suns are exceeding expectations in the win-loss column. What should we make of their play to this point in the season? All of this and more.Follow us on Twitter: @willis_glen / @LawtonWillis / @presspodcastFollow us on FaceBook: @fullcourtpressnbaRead more at http://fullcourtpress.libsyn.com/podcast#i94pjZTLxBqeuEKf.99Learn more about your ad choices.

LOCKED ON NBA - ESPN's Kevin Pelton early insights, trends and team thoughts / Kevin Pelton is one of the brightest minds in the NBA and he brings his insight to Locked on NBA. David Locke and Pelton start by talking about the Eric Bledsoe trade and the impact that will have on the Milwaukee Bucks. - The conversation moves to teams building around young stars and then to the early season trends including increased pace. Locke thinks that offensive rebounding has become more important than ever with the decrease in offensive rebounding around the league. - Pelton shares that stars aren't getting calls like they usually do and the impact it is having on some teams most notably the Thunder. - Is the play of Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis an indictment on Russell Westbrook? - Then Locke and Pelton go rapid fire on teams touching on Boston, Cleveland, Toronto, Portland and Memphis - Today's show is brought to you by Seat Geek with the promo code Locked giving a $20 rebate on first purchase and Draft your daily fantasy game.

106 - Kawhi Leonard Has a Franchise to Save: 2017-18 San Antonio Spurs Preview / The San Antonio Spurs are
106 - Kawhi Leonard Has a Franchise to Save: 2017-18 San Antonio Spurs Preview / The San Antonio Spurs are no longer the default option to finish with the second-best record in the Western Conference. That honor now belongs to the Houston Rockets or the Oklahoma City Thunder. - After a puzzling offseason, during which they gave a whopper of a contract to Pau Gasol, the Spurs enter the 2017-18 regular season facing more questions than usual. Extending LaMarcus Aldridge only adds to that ambiguity. And Kawhi Leonard's quad injury threatens to give way to outright pessimism. - Still, these Spurs get the benefit of the doubt. They have to. They've done too much, against convention and logic and counter predictions, for too long to be considered anything other than 55-win locks. - How do they get there this time around? Does it involve a Dejounte Murray coming-of-not-his-age campaign? Will Patty Mills shoulder more of the point guard duties? Will Leonard make a Kevin Durant-like leap as a passer and average five-plus assists per game? - And what's happening up front? Is Aldridge ready to carry the offense for stretches on his own? Is he open to playing a lot more center? Will Rudy Gay be healthy enough to unlock small-ball combinations as a 4? Will Kyle Anderson and/or Davis Bertans get to show out? - Last, but not least, if the Spurs do, in fact, clear 55 wins once again, will this be the best coaching job of Gregg Popovich's illustrious career? - NBA Math's Adam Spinnella (@Spinnella14) joins Hardwood Knocks to break down all this, and so much more—including whether the sun is at all setting on San Antonio's run of dominance. - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.

This year it isn't in person like it has been over the past few years. However, the conversation is just as fun as they talk about the new groupings and triplets around the NBA and how they are all going to work out of not. Pelton lures Locke into his usual absurd comments, such as someone other than Cleveland or Boston will be #1 in the East and Oklahoma City Thunder will finish 6th in the West. - Despite the absurdity of Locke, Pelton gives a ton of insightful comments on how the NBA will play out this year and how teams will do. - Learn more about your ad choices.

102 - Another Season, Another NBA Title: 2017-18 Golden State Warriors Preview / No team in the NBA is built to go punch for punch with the Golden State Warriors. Not the Cleveland Cavaliers, not the Houston Rockets, not the Oklahoma City Thunder. The reigning champs remain in a league of their own, perfectly positioned to deliver an adequate encore to last year's 16-1 playoff romp. - Declaring the Warriors NBA champs in October isn't any fun, though. And that means we're in search of something, anything, anyone, any team, that can derail what is so obviously the best squad ever assembled. - To help figure out the impossible, Dan turned to Bleacher Report's Grant Hughes (@gthughes). He cannonballs into every possible pitfall and peril, however innocuous, facing the Warriors and decides what their biggest concern should ultimately be—insofar as they must be concerned at all. - Is it their turnovers? Surprising plainness in crunch time? Wonky three-point shooting from the Death Lineup? Championship complacency? Something else? And is there even a team that registers as a remote threat to their throne? - Because versatility is king, Dan and Grant also discuss whether Stephen Curry is more important to the Warriors than Kevin Durant; whether Klay Thompson has become underrated; whether Nick Young will ever see the floor; whether Draymond Green will win another Defensive Player of the Year award; and whether rookie Jordan Bell is set to become a rich man's Day-Day. - Durant's covert social media accounts may or may not have come up, too. - So click "play" now.

FCP - 035 Lottery Reform, Russ Contract, Clippers and Rockets Offseason / A couple of quick thoughts on news items: lottery reform, Russell Westbrooks commitment to the OKC Thunder in the form of a massive contract. Then we cover the Los Angeles Clippers and the Houston Rockets offseason updates. These two teams had a summer largely shaped around the transition of Chris Paul from the Clippers to the Rockets. Will Blake Griffin, if healthy, get enough help in the form of the Clippers backcourt players to help him move back to being one of the most elite players in the league? Will Danillo Gallinari help him? Will DeAndre Jordan being able to contribute offensively without an elite PG on the court with him? Will Chris Paul and James Harden be able to help one another reach a level of play in the postseason neither of them have been able to reach thus far in their respective careers? The Rockets lost on the Carmelo sweepstakes. Are they done working on this roster? All of this and more.

84 - Paul George Isn't a Laker Yet: 2017-18 OKC Thunder Preview with Fred Katz / So much for the Oklahoma City Thunder's lack of flexibility. - Though they entered the summer barren of cap space and with very few trade assets, the Thunder somehow turned their restrictive position into the additions of Paul George, Patrick Patterson and Raymond Felton, morphing themselves into one of the NBA's most dangerous title contenders. - Sure, they still need to take the floor. Things could go sideways. Russell Westbrook and George could clash. The freshly re-signed Andre Roberson could keep bricking wide-open threes. Patterson's athroscopic procedure on his left knee could lead to a more sinister setback. Steven Adams could fail to recapture his pick-and-roll mojo. Jeremai Grant could stop hitting three-pointers. - Or, you know, everything could go down perfectly. - The Thunder, on paper, are built as well as anyone to contend with the Golden State Warriors. George and Westbrook just make sense together, and the signing of Patterson unlocks deadly small-ball combinations the Thunder didn't have at their disposal even when they called Serge Ibaka a friend. - The upshot: They don't have a lot of time to put things together. - George is a free agent next summer, and everyone thinks he's going to the Los Angeles Lakers. Westbrook will hit the open market as well if he doesn't sign an extension. The Thunder need to get their crazy train rolling, and fast, lest this squad become a one-year placeholder. - Will they be as good as their personnel suggests ? We turn to the Norman Transcript's Fred Katz (@FredKatz) for answers. - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes. You can also find us on Stitcher and BlogTalkRadio.

82 - CP3 + Harden = Look Out Dubs? Houston Rockets Preview with Eric Spyropoulos / Chris Paul is a member of the Houston Rockets. - Yes, that happened. No, you didn't dream it. It was a real thing that went down over the offseason. Paul and James Harden are starting in the same backcourt. The Rockets have 55-plus wins written all over them. They have overtaken the San Antonio Spurs, and the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the new-look Oklahoma City Thunder, as the biggest threat to the Golden State Warriors. - Or have they? - Superstar formations take time to jell. Harden and Paul should be no different. There will be a learning curve, perhaps a steep one. But the fact that Paul and Harden wanted this matters. It means both of them should be willing to make the necessary concessions. At the very least, after opting in and delaying a long-term payday, Paul should be ready to do whatever it takes to thrive alongside Harden. - Mix in the returns of Nene, Eric Gordon, Trevor Ariza and Clint Capela, along with the additions of Luc Mbah a Moute and P.J. Tucker, and it's hard not to see the Rockets as a budding superpower. And that's before even considering Ryan Anderson—or, if general manager Daryl Morey gets his way, Carmelo Anthony. - These Rockets, on paper, are built to play any sort of style, not unlike the Warriors...right down to the ceiling on a knockoff Death Lineup that features Paul, Harden, Ariza, Mbah a Moute and Tucker. And yet, can we really call them the second-best squad in the NBA, or even the Western Conference? NBA Math's own Eric Spyropoulos (@EricSpyrosNBA) joins us to make sense of Houston's lavish makeup. - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.
