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.

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. So let's get cracking! - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes. You can also find us on Stitcher and BlogTalkRadio.

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.

115 - Hot-Seat Meter for NBA Coaches: From Doc and Kidd, to Donovan and Clifford / Seventeen NBA teams. Seventeen bad, to weird, to uncertain starts. Seventeen head coaches. - Sixty minutes. - An unknown number of jobs in jeopardy. - In the latest episode of Hardwood Knocks, Andy and Dan look at all 15 teams with records of .500 or worse, add in the Portland Trail Blazers and New Orleans Pelicans, and decide whether their head coaches should be worried about being canned before season's end. - A vast majority of these sideline-stalkers have nothing to worry about. The Los Angeles Lakers' Luke Walton and Memphis Grizzlies' David Fizdale are too new to their posts. They aren't getting the ax. Other clipboard-carriers have basically earned the right to keep their jobs as long as they want—such as Rick Carlisle of the Dallas Mavericks and Erik Spoelstra of the Miami Heat. A select few are simply coaching terrible teams that were supposed to be terrible (Sup, Dave Joerger?). - But these disclaimers don't apply to everyone. Nor do they necessarily inoculate each person they affect. - Will Fred Hoiberg last the year with the Chicago Bulls merely because they're as bad as advertised? Will the Utah Jazz resist reevaluating Quin Snyder's status because they lost players over the offseason and are slogging through injuries now? - And then we have the clear-cut cases—coaches indubitably on the hot seat: Doc Rivers with the Los Angeles Clippers, Steve Clifford with the Charlotte Hornets, Alvin Gentry with the New Orleans Pelicans, even Jason Kidd with the Milwaukee Bucks. Will they all last the year? - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes. You can also find us on Stitcher and BlogTalkRadio.

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.

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.

83 - The NBA's Worst? Not So Fast: 2017-18 Brooklyn Nets Preview with Tim Stubbs / SPOILER ALERT: The Brooklyn Nets are not going to be good next season. - Crazy, we know. As much as they've done to revamp the roster, they still project to be one of the NBA's worst teams. But will they be the NBA's worst team? Definitely not. Maybe. We think. - After finishing 2016-17 with just 20 wins, the Nets have undergone a quasi-transformation. They traded Brook Lopez over the summer while taking on Timofey Mozgov's bloated deal in order to get D'Angelo Russell. They scooped up an extra two picks from the Toronto Raptors in exchange for eating the final two years on DeMarre Carroll's deal. They landed Allen Crabbe from the Portland Trail Blazers. They drafted Jarrett Allen. They are better. Much better - Hell, they might even be better than that. A full year of a healthy Jeremy Lin and Caris LeVert, coupled with all their new additions, attached to a crappy Eastern Conference, could make for some surprising returns. - But let's not get ahead of ourselves. The Nets are still in the early stages of a thorough rebuild, and their 2018 first-round pick is still being sent to the Cleveland Cavaliers (via the Boston Celtics). Plus, by serving as the NBA's premier salary-dumping ground, they've bilked themselves of valuable cap flexibility later on. The chance exists they'll once again struggle to sniff 20-plus wins. - So which is it for these Nets leading into next season: Is the glass half-full or half-empty? NBA Math's Tim Stubbs (@StubbHubb) joins Hardwood Knocks to break it all down. - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.
