Full Court Press NBA Podcast Episode 91 – Offseason Updates for Philadelphia 76ers and Denver Nuggets / Philadelphia
Full Court Press NBA Podcast Episode 91 – Offseason Updates for Philadelphia 76ers and Denver Nuggets / Philadelphia may have played this offseason conservatively while working through a search for a new GM. But they have very possibly the best young core group of players as any team in the league. They exceed expectations last season by a good measure. Is there room for them to have a better season than they did last season? The Denver Nuggets have an exciting young core as well and perhaps underperformed last season. They continue to be dysfunctional on the defensive end of the court. So they gave a big contract to Will Barton and signed Isaiah Thomas to a contract to be a bench scorer. Will that move the needle for this team at all? All of this and more.

Full Court Press NBA Podcast Episode 90 – Offseason Updates for Milwaukee Bucks and Portland Trail Blazers / The Bucks added a legitimate coach after finally ending the Jason Kidd experiment. The roster is largely the same apart from a few veterans to help man the power forward and center positions. Can they challenge the big three of Boston, Toronto and Philadelphia? How might the coaching change impact the play of Giannis? Portland largely ran it back apart from their most important front court player off of the bench and their most important back court player off of the bench. Are the young guys ready to step up and help? How urgent is the Dame legacy situation? All of this and more.

165 - Cavs-Warriors Finals Primer, Colangelo/76ers Twitter Scandal, Magic Hire Clifford / Hardwood Knocks drops their officially official primer and preview for Cavaliers-Warriors, Round 4. But before they get to NBA Finals anatomization and predictions, they must first navigate their way through the most 2018 scandal ever. - - On the heels of a report from The Ringer's Ben Detrick that suggests Philadelphia 76ers president Bryan Colangelo has five secret Twitter accounts dedicated to serving his own agenda, Andy and Dan discuss all the various forms of potential fallout. The accounts in question haven't been confirmed as Colangelo's, but the evidence seems pretty damning. And given how critical these burners were of everyone from Joel Embiid and Markelle Fultz, to Sam Hinkie and Masai Ujiri, it stands to reason all this could ultimately cost Colangelo his job. - - Will it also cost the Sixers a shot at signing LeBron James and Paul George? Should we give Colangelo the benefit of the doubt in this instance? Is this the craziest NBA storyline in recent memory? - - After blitzing through this, Andy and Dan offer their thoughts on the Magic hiring Steve Clifford as their new head coach. And then, from there, it's NBA Finals time. Do the Cavaliers have a chance? What are the implications of every possible Finals outcome? What tactical adjustments will the Warriors and Cavs make as the series goes on? We talk about it all! - - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.

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.

The Western Conference has already been hammered out, and you can check that out here. That means it's time for the Eastern Conference, in all its glory—or lack thereof. - Have the Cleveland Cavaliers finally met their maker in the Boston Celtics or Toronto Raptors? Will the Milwaukee Bucks and Washington Wizards stop underachieving? Were we too high on the Philadelphia 76ers? Is the Miami Heat's latest midseason surge for real? We go through all this, and more! - But wait: We have even more still. - In addition to doling out report card grades, we'll rap about the long-term futures and trade-deadline priorities of the Heat, Charlotte Hornets, New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers. So let's hop to it! - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes. You can also find us on Stitcher and BlogTalkRadio.

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.

119 - NBA Report Cards for Eastern Conference and Jahlil Okafor/Nets/76ers Trade / Now that the 2017-18 NBA season has eked pasts its quarter-pole mark, rumor has it we're free to hand out report grades for every team. Hardwood Knocks already tackled the Western Conference, which you can, and should, and must, listen to here. Now it's on to the Eastern Conference—but not before we react to the Philadelphia 76ers trading Jahlil Okafor and Nik Stauskas to the Brooklyn Nets for Trevor Booker. - All 15 squads are covered—in random order—so you needn't worry about us leaving anyone out. Among the most pressing questions: Do the Boston Celtics deserve perfect marks? Who among the Charlotte Hornets, Miami Heat and Washington Wizards gets a failing grade? Is the Cleveland Cavaliers' recent tear a harbinger of things to come or merely a protracted blip on the radar? - Should the New York Knicks get a favorable grade for hovering around .500? How about the Indiana Pacers? Are the Milwaukee Bucks the biggest underachievers in the conference? Have the Orlando Magic screwed themselves during their latest nosedive? Do the Toronto Raptors warrant—gasp—a Celtics-esque grade? Are there silver linings to plumb for the tanking Atlanta Hawks and Chicago Bulls? - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.

Full Court Press NBA Podcast Episode 44 – Team Updates for 76ers Cavaliers Wizards Celtics / Full Court Press NBA Podcast Episode 44 – Team Updates for 76ers Cavaliers Wizards CelticsWe continue our in-season analysis. This week we tried to assess whether the 76ers are a viable 50-win team. They had played an interesting schedule and come out largely successful. They are an incredibly productive team but one that still makes a lot of mistakes. What are those mistakes? Are they correctable this season? Might they look to add another veteran player or two to make themselves a more serious playoff team? Whether they do or don’t we think nobody is going to want to encounter them in any round of the playoffs. Why? The Cavaliers are on a double-digit game winning streak. Is everything fine in Cleveland now? The answer is NO, why? The Wizards are trying to maintain contact with the top 4-5 teams in the Eastern Conference while they await the return of John Wall. How are they doing? The criticized roster depth has not been an issue of recent and has actually been award worthy. Is that issue fixed? The answer is NO. Why? And the Celtics are so boringly good now, already? And without Gordon Heyward? They put in the work and get the results. But is this the roster they want to have when April arrives? The answer in NO. Why?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

117 - MAILBAG: Knicks/Cavs/Clips/Wizards Trades, NBA's MIP, Paul George's Future / Y'all: Here's the mail. It never fails. It makes us wanna wag our tails. 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.

114 - Nuggets, Celtics, Mavs, Spencer Dinwiddie, LeBron-to-76ers Mailbag Soiree / To borrow a phrase from the legendary Blue's Clues: MAIL TIME. - In this week's Hardwood Knocks mailbag, you, our loyal listeners, give us plenty of material with which to work. Your questions were fantastic, and they allowed us to tackle each of the following, among many other queries: - Will the Philadelphia 76ers' sign a big-time free agent this summer now that Robert Covington and Joel Embiid have their extensions? Should they be in LeBron James-or-bust mode? Who else could they chase? - Where does Dennis Smith Jr. rank among the NBA's best teenagers ever? And, perhaps more importantly, where do the rebuilding Dallas Mavericks go from here? - What's up with the NBA-best Boston Celtics? Is their first-place defense sustainable? Is Kyrie Irving actually a good defender now? Is Brad Stevens an alien? Can they end the Cleveland Cavaliers' Eastern Conference reign? And if not them, then which teams can? - Should Charlotte Hornets head coach Steve Clifford be on the hot seat? Would the team consider tearing it down to the studs if things get really bad, perhaps even testing the trade market for 2019 free-agent Kemba Walker? - Which squad's top-five defense is more sustainable: Portland Trail Blazers or Los Angeles Lakers? How many threes are the Houston Rockets shooting? Is Spencer Dinwiddie the greatest player of all time, or is he just better than D'Angelo Russell? - Y'all: Here's the mail. It never fails.

That's right you, our loyal listeners, are now shaping the discussion. - Will the Cleveland Cavaliers even win 50 games? Should they be considering Kevin Love trades? Which projected playoff teams are in danger of falling outside the bubble? Is Andre Drummond really the best free-throw shooter in NBA history? Is this Memphis Grizzlies bench for real? - Who deserves to be the frontrunner for Most Improved Player more: Aaron Gordon or Kristaps Porzingis? Should the Utah Jazz be looking to make a trade?

91 - Embiid and Simmons and Fultz, LEGGO: 2017-18 Philadelphia 76ers Preview / So much is going on with the Philadelphia 76ers, we jump-start their 2017-18 season preview in the only way that makes a semblance of sense: by posing roughly six bajillion-zillion-quadtrillion questions. - First and foremost: Are they a playoff team after signing J.J. Redick to a one-year deal—Amir Johnson, too—and adding Markelle Fultz to a healthy Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid? Hell, is Embiid even healthy? How many games should we expect to see him play in this year? - And to this point, what do the Sixers do with his extension situation? Should they pursue a deal now, when so much about his health is still up in the air? Do they just let negotiations ride out into restricted free agency next summer? - Will a renegotiate-and-extend get done with Robert Covington, as everyone initially assumed, or do the Sixers prefer leveraging his micro cap hold next summer into oodles of spending power? And speaking of RoCo, is Dario Saric really a threat to start at the 3 over him? (Spoiler: He's not.) - Assuming everyone's healthy, how are the Sixers going to play? Like, what happens on offense? Does Fultz have the off-ball touch and slashing chops to let Simmons take the reins? Can the point power forward survive off the rock enough to give Embiid and Fultz their share of touches? - Is Jahlil Okafor really still on this team? - Can we get a round of applause for baby unicorn Richaun Holmes? - Does Brett Brown really think T.J. McConnell is the greatest NBA player of all time? - Bleacher Report's Alec Nathan (@AlecBNathan) stops by to rap about all this, and more. - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.

FCP 033 - Sixers Lakers Offseason Updates and guest segment with Nat Kitaw / The Philadelphia 76ers and Los Angeles Lakers are two of the most exciting young teams entering this season. The Sixers are clearly ahead in their process (the word has been ruined) as they’ve been accumulating talent at the top if the draft for a number of years now. The Laker just drafted the player the want to build around but have other interesting young players such as Brandon Ingram and Julius Randle. This episode specifically focuses on what the expectations should be from these teams and their players. The number of wins they can realize this season is far less important than other development objectives. We dive into all of this and more. Also Nat Kitaw joins us to share thought on a recent article he wrote about Kyrie Irving and if he sees the result of his analysis any differently now that Kyrie Irving is with Brad Stephens and the Boston Celtics.
