187 - Southeast Division Preview for 2018-19 Season (ATL, CHA, MIA, ORL, WAS) / NBA preview #SZN is upon us! Hardwood Knocks tips off its division-by-division breakdown with the ever-awesome Adam Spinella (@Spinella14), the Assistant Men's Basketball Coach at Washington & Jefferson college, in addition to a contributor for BBallBreakdown and NBA Math itself. Dan gave him the option of where to start, and Adam, being the hero that he is, selected the Southeast division. So, on this episode, we're breaking down all things Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets, Miami Heat, Orlando Magic and Washington Wizards. - - For the outline-obsessed, here's how this will work from now until the end of time: We'll go over 2017-18 vitals before diving into the following topics: - - Best offseason move - Worst offseason move/Biggest offseason loss - Player most likely to break out (rookies included) - Player most likely to be traded - Will each team have a better offense or defense? - Playoffs or nah? - What's the ceiling for reach team, regardless of their postseason status? (i.e. record predictions) - Ready? Set? Leggo! - - Be sure to check out Part I of this mini-series. And as always, please subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.

Episode 3 - Hibachi Time! / Gil looks back on his exit from Golden State and his arrival in Washington. He recalls a few other teams that could have been for Agent Zero...and yes, a coin flip to decide his next team. Before he'd figure things out as a Wizard, the Cali kid would have to adjust to the east coast. Once he got comfortable, the takeover was on and a new era was in full swing. He looks back on the team in those first two seasons, the joy he experienced making an all-star team and the story of an all-time great nickname. - Learn more about your ad choices.

Full Court Press NBA Podcast Episode 74â 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. Which coach has the onus to make adjustments? Follow us on Twitter: @willis_glen / @LawtonWillis / @presspodcast Follow us on FaceBook: @fullcourtpressnbaidenti Learn more about your ad choices.

Team Updates for Heat, Wizards, Bucks, Nets / Now that itâs widely known that the Hornets are looking for a trade partner for Kemba Walker as to dig out of some of their financial contraints we discuss which organizations should step up and make a serious effort to acquire him. Are the Miami Heat a team that is going to have to be dealt with in the Eastern Conference playoffs? What is going on with Hassan Whiteside who sat the entire 4th quarter the comeback win over the Hornets? Are the Bucks as pedestrian as their numbers indicate they are? It really comes down to 2 positions on the roster⌠which ones? And that analysis might be quite similar to our perspective on the Wizards. Weird! Why are the Nets still so much fun to watch? Why are they still winning games they are not supposed to be winning and how is that low wrecking what is going on in Cleveland? And who got our awards this week?

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 notâunless, 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.

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 warrantâgaspâa Celtics-esque grade?

Full Court Press NBA Podcast Episode 44 â Team Updates for 76ers Cavaliers Wizards Celtics / Full Court Press NBA Podcast Episode 44 â 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 donât 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

(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 beâprotracted gaspâAndre 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?

Why are the Bucks just a .500 team even though they have the most efficient offensive player in the league so far this season? What are the Pistons doing that is so fundamentally different from what they were doing last season? Are the Knicks doing sustainable things? Are the Hawks this bad? Are the Bulls doing right by Lauri Markannen? Is Brad Stephens into voodoo? What are the Wizards trying to be? Where did the Heat hunger go? Does it still exist? Then in our guest segment with Nat Kitaw we talk about positional gravity. Do big men that can shoot from three point range have more gravity than gaurds?

FCP 039:Eastern Conference Updates: Hornets, Magic, Pacers, Nets, Cavaliers, Raptors, Wizards, 76ers / We begin our in-season analysis. The Hornets only home loss has been to the Houston Rockets, are they on track? Is there any chance the Magic are as good as their 4-2 start suggest? The Pacers now have some impressive wins to feel good about? How good are they? The Nets have already surprised. Are they fundamentally a different team than they were last season? The Cavaliers are definitely not track. How back are things in Cleveland? The Raptors are the Raptors, or are they? The Wizards are attacking their early season schedule, literally. Should Wizards fans be encouraged? The Sixers are one missed foul call away from being 3-3. What do we see in their early season performance? All of this and more. Follow us on Twitter: @willis_glen / @LawtonWillis / @presspodcast Follow us on FaceBook: @fullcourtpressnba Read more at http://fullcourtpress.libsyn.com/podcast#uYuxgLWgV5eB6DK8.99Learn more about your ad choices.

86 - Down the Bradley Beal Rabbit Hole: 2017-18 Washington Wizards Preview / The Washington Wizards offseason was, somehow, simultaneously hectic and not-at-all busy. - On the one hand, the roster doesn't look that much different, because it had no way of looking that much different. The Wizards entered the summer with no cap flexibility, so small-time additions like Tim Frazier, Jodie Meeks and Mike Scott were their ceiling. - They did, however, match the Brooklyn Nets' max-contract trade-kicker special to Otto Porterâan inevitable move that is nevertheless important. - See, the Wizards must largely bank on internal improvement to build upon last year's 49-win finish. They may be a tad deeper, but they were so reliant on their starting five of John Wall, Bradley Beal, Markieff Morris, Marcin Gortat and Porter that a little extra depth doesn't mean much, if anything. That quintet turned out to be among the most-used lineups of the freaking decade, logging nearly 1,347 minutes ânearly 500 more than any other unit last season. - Getting spikes and leaps from younger incumbents is paramount if you believe they cannot count on that good fortune again. Kelly Oubre Jr., Tomas Satoransky, Porter, even the elder Ian Mahinmiâprogress from these players will go a long way toward determining the Wizards' place in the Eastern Conference. - So, where will Washington ultimately end up? Can this team get to or sniff 50 wins? Is regression in the cards? - NBA Math's own Tony East (@TEastNBA) steps onto Hardwood Knocks' stage to offer his scalding-hot takez. - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.

#79 - 2017-18 Southeast Division preview / Will the Miami Heat grow to regret their offseason spending spree, or could they emerge as a sneaky threat out East? How will Dwight Howard fit with the Charlotte Hornets, and what does his arrival mean for Cody Zeller? Who can the Atlanta Hawks rely on outside of Dennis Schroder? How should the Orlando Magic distribute minutes among their plethora of wings? Did the Washington Wizards upgrade their bench enough to make them a legitimate title contender? Check out the episode to hear Morten Jensen (@msjnba), Sarah Cilea (@wildhorses65), Bryan Toporek (@btoporek) and special guest Allana Tachauer (@allanatachauer) of All U Can Heat and HoopsHabit discuss all of that and more. Follow us on Twitter: @TheNBAPod

FCP 031 â Wizards Nuggets Offseason Updates / The Washington Wizards rose in the Eastern Conference in the 2016-17 season
FCP 031 â Wizards Nuggets Offseason Updates / The Washington Wizards rose in the Eastern Conference in the 2016-17 season but the two teams that finished in the top two seeds, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics, and faced off in the Eastern Conference Finals made a trade, that we discussed on last weekâs episode, that shifts the near term and longer-term power structure in the conference. Where does that leave the Wizards? They are bringing back the same core with another modest attempt to add bench depth, will it move the needle in one direction or the other? Also, how does the backcourt of John Wall and Bradley Beal rank with the other great backcourts in the league. The Denver Nuggets finally landed their marquee free agent Paul Millsap, the roster around him and the emerging Nikola Jokic is deep. But does the roster construction as it stands today make sense from a fit perspective? There is a gap at the wing, is there a way for the Nuggets to use the resources they currently have to address it? Glen Willis and Greg Willis cover all of this and more Follow us on Twitter: @willis_glen / @LawtonWillis / @presspodcast Follow us on FaceBook: @fullcourtpressnba Learn more about your ad choices.
