Top 10 Small Forwards in the NBA Tier List

The ranking grind continues! This week on the pod we're breaking down the Top 10 Small Forwards in the league. It's all a bit tricky these days...some players we traditionally think of as 3's play in different roles than they used to...it's all a little blurry. But when it comes down to the traditional definition of a Small Forward, there's a pretty clear Top 3. Or so we think! We also get into a little Best Take/Worst Take (featuring Austin Rivers and the Lakers organization) and a little Hot Streak/Shooting Slump where we catch up on the last week in our personal lives. Check it out fam!

Ranking Our Top 10 Shooting Guards in the NBA

We talked point guards last week, and we’re moving right along to shooting guards today on the pod! Who you got at #1? Ant? Donovan Mitchell? Booker? What about Kyrie? James and Patrick try their best to agree on a definitive ranking. Then we get into a little Best Take/Worst Take featuring Barack Obama, Joe Mazzulla, and the Miami Heat organization. Stick around for a quick Hot Streak/Shooting Slump as well, where we check in on each other's personal lives for a few mins!

Ranking the Top 10 Point Guards in the NBA

The NBA is back! We quickly chat about the opening night dubs for the Celtics and the Lakers before ranking our Top 10 Point Guards in the league. The Top 4 were pretty much locked, but 5-10 were up for debate. Who did we miss? Let us know in the comments! We also round things out with a little Best Take/Worst Take – where we nominate the best and worst takes from NBA media this week – and close things out by talking about our week in the segment we call Hot Streak/Shooting Slump.

Our 2025 NBA Awards Predictions

The 2024-25 season starts up next week and that means it's time to make some predictions! Is it finally Luka's year to snag MVP? How on earth do we predict a ROTY with this draft class? Who'll be the first coach to get fired this year? Who's winning the chip? We dig into all of this and more on today's ep, and we bring back everybody's favorite segment: Best Take/Worst Take!

NBA 2024-25 Western Conference Preview

Last week we tackled the East, this week we're digging into the West. We couldn't quite agree on a cohesive ranking, so we each kind of built our own lists. James' outrageous Lakers bias is on full display today, and Patrick does his best to hear him out. We all agree that OKC will likely come out on top this year, but the cluster of teams vying for the 2-5 seeds is where things get a little tricky. We talk through pretty much every team in the conference but look, there are a lot of teams and we had to speed thru a few at the end. Also we had some technical difficulties during the part where we talked about the Blazers but they're tanking anyways so WHO CARES. Enjoy :)

NBA 2024-25 Eastern Conference Preview

On this week's ep, we're sorting the Eastern conference teams into tiers. Tier 1 pretty clearly belongs to one team and one team only. And then things start to get a little tricky. Does the KAT trade cement the Knicks as the clear 2 seed? Does the PG trade do the same thing for Philly? Are Dame and Giannis finally going to see some real success? Just how bad are the Nets going to be? We break it down, and of course have a few words to say about the KAT trade in general. Stick around for Hot Streak/Shooting Slump!

7 Rule Changes to Fix the NBA & All-Time Starting 5 Draft

As much as we love the NBA, there are a few things we'd like to change...the salary cap situation is incredibly murky for starters. And the Stepian rule doesn't really make sense anymore. Can we fix the BS charging calls too? What is this feet-planting garbage? After we pitch our rule changes, we get into the biggest draft of the off-season, in which we each pick an ALL-TIME STARTING LINE-UP of players. Who assembled the best team? Let us know!
