Foul Trouble

Jiedel and Patrick broke down the Eastern Conference on Tuesday, so today they're tackling the West! Who should make the Western Conference All-Star team this year? Players like LeBron James and Nikola Jokic are no-brainers, but there's a little bit of wiggle room for some of the other picks. Let us know in the comments if you agree or disagree with our choices. And stick around till the end for another round of Hot Streak/Shooting Slump! 

This week we're choosing our lineups for the 2024 All-Star game, starting with the Eastern Conference. Of course Joel Embiid, Jayson Tatum, and Giannis Antetokounmpo made the cut right of the bat, but who else do we want to see on the court? Our picks might surprise you! Stick around till the end for a little Best Take/Worst Take! 

On our last episode of the year, we offer some NBA New Year's Resolutions. James wants to see some better ball movement on the Clippers, especially hockey passes. And he also wants to start talking seriously about trading OG Anunoby and reconstructing a better Raptors team around Scottie Barnes. Patrick wants the Warriors to start treating Steph Curry like the superstar he is, and he wants to be more open to the idea that rookies can meaningfully impact wins. We wrap up Best Take/Worst Take for the month and close out with another edition of Hot Streak/Shooting Slump. 

The guys recap a very packed NBA Christmas slate and review the bets they made in the last episode. They deep dive into Luka Doncic's masterclass and what it all means for Phoenix. Then they dive into the Pistons and recap their 27th straight loss before a KD discussion and a look at the best and worst takes of the week.
