Full Court Press NBA Podcast Episode 74– Day One Deep Dive / The Raptors held true to the identity of their 2017-18 regular season, even without Fred Van Vleet. They were not strictly dependent upon the shooting of Lowry and DeRozan. The Wizards will need to try to defend in game 2 with suboptimal rim protection. The Sixers shortened their rotation in the second half versus the Heat and it made all the difference in the game. What will Spo do going into game 2? The Spurs were not very inspiring in their game 1 loss to the Warriors. Are their any adjustments they can make with Curry sitting out all of the first round? The Pelicans got a road win to take advantage in their series with the Blazers. Both team were gassed at the end of the game but get a couple days of rest before game 2.

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?

George Hill rumors are everywhere, but might Cleveland consider moving Kevin Love or try getting in on the Kemba Walker sweepstakes? Hardwood Knocks has a three-team trade idea that lands the Cavaliers everything they need to challenge the Warriors while giving Love a change of scenery. - Reports of a rift between Kawhi Leonard and the Spurs feel premature, if exaggerated. Should we make anything of his reported unhappiness? - The Bucks, meanwhile, opted to fire Jason Kidd on Monday after plunging down the Eastern Conference standings. Does moving on from him alone make them a noticeably better team? Should the front office be concerned about how this impacts its relationship with Giannis Antetokounmpo? Will Kidd ever coach in the NBA again? - And last, but certainly not least, the NBA's All-Star player pool has been finalized. Were there any noteworthy snubs? Andre Drummond? Ben Simmons? Chris Paul? Did Kristaps Porzingis deserve to make it? How about Klay Thompson? Plus, Andy and Dan finish off their own All-Star draft.

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.

The Mavericks have been pretty good since Maxi Kleber was inserted into the starting lineup. Do we expect that to continue? We discuss.

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.

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?

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.

82 - CP3 + Harden = Look Out Dubs? Houston Rockets Preview with Eric Spyropoulos / Chris Paul is a
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.
