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.

Full Court Press NBA Podcast Episode 55 – Are the Thunder a contender? 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.

The Knicks look like a playoff team whether Kristaps Porzingis is playing or not. Are they one of the 6 best teams in the Eastern Conference? Not yet. But we must stay open minded because Kristaps Porzingis is a unique force and we need to see what they can make of that. With an addition of the right player could they enter a really positive chapter in their franchise history? Yes! Are any of the Nets players going to be on the next good Nets team? We discussed it.

105 - Making the Leap from Good to Great: 2017-18 Toronto Raptors Preview / The Toronto Raptors are working off one of the NBA's most divisive offseasons. Poll a swath of hoops heads about their summer, and you'll get answers varying from "They got worse," to "They're fine," to "They'll be better." - So what's a podcast to do when cooking up their 2017-18 preview? - Bring on Blake Murphy (@BlakeMurphyODC), the Managing Editor of Raptors Republic, to drop insight. - Chief among the questions posed to Mr. Murphy: What's the deal with the DeMar DeRozan? He has become one of the most polarizing players alive—more divisive than the Raptors are themselves. He will be expected to shoulder more offensive responsibilities in the wake of the Cory Joseph trade. Is he ready? Is this the year his on-off splits without Kyle Lowry finally turn? - The Raptors' clumpy frontcourt rotation may have also come up (it did). They have a ton of talent, but not one of their best 4-5 options is the whole package. General manager Masai Ujiri has instead assembled an army of specialists, right down to Serge Ibaka, who isn't good for much more than a few blocks and quality catch-and-shoot efficiency. - Still, for as much as you may dislike what the Raptors did this summer, one thing's for sure: They aren't going anywhere. Patrick Patterson and P.J. Tucker are big-time losses, but they picked up one of the NBA's sweetest-shooting wings in C.J. Miles. Lowry hasn't gone anywhere. Norman Powell seems overdue for a breakout. - Things are still happening in Toronto. Let's figure out how good the Raps can be. - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes. You can also find us on Stitcher and BlogTalkRadio.

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?
