The conversation regarding the Mavericks on the podcast are limited to Ownership, Head of Basketball Operations, Coach and players. We don’t know if as the news unfolds if it will changed the viewed expressed on this episode. We will address that if and when appropriate. The Hawks have gotten good rookie campaigns from their drafted rookies John Collins and Tyler Dorsey. What else is developing with the team. Is Dennis Schroder the point guard of the future? The Mavericks have a significantly worse record than their point differential and net rating would suggest. What’s going on with that? Also, are they invested in Yogi beyond this season? The Bulls got harshly criticized this past offseason. What are the chances they actually might have landed the best player in the 2017 NBA draft? The Kings have been the usual mess for the better part of their season. But they’ve not been so bad as of recent. What to we make of their young players in the context of this roster and this season? Also, special appearances from Alex Bergman, Nate Ramos and Ryan Kietly who talk with Glen about what it’s like to play on a team coached by Greg. Thanks to these fine young men who took the time to speak with us! And who got our awards this week? Listen and find out. 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.

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?

113 - Rudy Gobert Injury & NBA's Should-Be Sellers: Heat, Hornets, Clips, Knicks / This one's for the Luka Doncic fans. And the Michael Porter Jr. enthusiasts. And the DeAndre Ayton lovers. And the Marvin Bagley III apologists. - "Tanking" is an uncomfortable word for NBA teams—unless, of course, they're already tanking their brains out. (Sup, Sacramento Kings, Phoenix Suns and Chicago Bulls?) Ditto for the phrase "seller's mode." Squads don't want to admit they're throwing in the towel on this season, especially so early in the schedule. But someone needs to be a grown-up and have this difficult discussion, even now, with the 2017-18 campaign fewer than 20 games old. - Fortunately for you, Andy and Dan are up to the task. - Rudy Gobert is the inspiration for this "Sell, sell, sell" slant. He's slated to miss four to six weeks after suffering a bone bruise in his right knee (goddammit, Dion Waiters). And knowing how the Utah Jazz handle injuries, he may end up missing closer to eight weeks...or more. And if he's going to be sidelined for that long, should the Jazz even bother trying to compete this year? Or should they enter seller's mode and seek to shed salary or absorb lengthier deals for first-round compensation? - And which other teams need to be asking themselves something along these lines? We know the Suns, Bulls, Kings and, yes, Atlanta Hawks are already there. What about the Dallas Mavericks? How about the Miami Heat? Or the Los Angeles Clippers? What about—gasp—the—double gasp—Charlotte Hornets? Should the New York Knicks ditch fake competency for authentic tanking? - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.

97 - Faith in Skal Labissiere, For the Culture: 2017-18 Sacramento Kings Preview / Let's pour one out for the Sacramento Kings' annual failed pursuit of a playoff berth they had no business pursuing in the first place, shall we? - In furtherance of the post-DeMarcus Cousins era, the Kings spent the offseason neither chasing wins nor attempting to monopolize the NBA's race to the bottom. Instead, they signed a couple of shrewd veterans in Vince Carter, George Hill and Zach Randolph to help build up the culture. - We know what you're thinking: LITERALLY WUT, AND WHY, AND WTF, LMAO ROFL LOLOLOLOL. - Get your jokes in now, before it's pointless. Prioritizing environment over a one-year tanking window has its advantages—particularly for a Kings squad that saw its emotional infrastructure crumble despite employing Cousins, one of the 25 best players in the league. - Carter, Hill and Randolph don't add enough wins to the Kings' bottom line for this to be a bad investment. So long as head coach Dave Joerger is prepared to roll first and foremost with the kiddies, these three will play a pivotal role in forging unity amid plenty of losing. (Plus, their contracts aren't long at all.) - Which leads us to a fair question: Is this the plan? - Will the Kings be able to play De'Aaron Fox and Buddy Hield over Hill in crunch time? Can Joerger guarantee Randolph won't eat into exposure for Willie Cauley-Stein and Skal Labissiere? Does Bogdan Bogdanovic get more spin than Carter? - To help unpack the mystery that remains these Kings, we turn to NBA Math's own Tom Rende (@Trende19), and his appreciation for all things SKAL. - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.
