Foul Trouble

Who's panicking at this point in the season? Who's just chilling? On today's pod, Producer Max has chosen 10 random teams. James and Patrick must blind rank each team on the panic meter, 1 = FREAKING OUT, 10 = CHILLIN'. Where is your squad on the panic meter? Plus, we also dig into some really bad takes – James loses his sh%& about the upcoming 2K branded NBA game – and get into some Hot Streak/Shooting Slump to round things out. Do you dig the pod? Give us some love in the comments!

We're almost 2 months in to the NBA season and boy, oh boy do we have thoughts. Jiedel wants us to crown Jokic as the GOAT once and for all. But he also thinks it's time for Embiid TO GO. Patrick goes IN on the Lakers and the Pacers. Plus, Rashad McCants wins Worst Take AGAIN. Stick around for Hot Streak/Shooting Slump!

It's the final part of our Positional Rankings series! Who do you think we have at number one? Does his name with Bikola Brokic? You'll just have to listen to find out. We also talk about Dalton Knecht's wild 37 pt night, the abysmal situation in Philadelphia, and crown the best and worst takes of the week (Shaq appears in both categories this time around). Stick around for a little Hot Streak/Shooting Slump where Patrick and James divulge hot gossip from their personal lives.

Who are the 10 best Power Forwards in the league? We're breaking it down today on the pod! Is Lebron still Top 5? How high has Paolo climbed this season? We dig into all of that and more. Stick around for a little Best Take/Worst Take, where we crown the best and worst takes of the week. And then a little Hot Streak/Shooting Slump, where we catch up on our W's and L's in real life. PLUS! Producer Max debuts a brand new segment called WOJ BOMB that you won't want to miss. 

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!

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!

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.

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!
