The Denver Nuggets look to close out the Miami Heat in Game 5 at Denver. We wrap up the final episode of Hoops R Us for season 6 as we crown a new NBA champion for the 2023 season. Trade rumors are already out of control as superstars like Kyrie and Dame will potentially test the market and find new homes next season.
We are watching game 2 of the NBA finals with live reaction of the entire game. Miami pulls off an insane win at Denver, something Lebron, AD, KD, and Booker could not do! Now they go back to Miami with the series tied at one a piece. Joker is still going wild, the Miami role players are stepping up, and we have some of the most exciting final possessions of the playoffs as we see Murray go up against Jimmy for the game winner.
Break out the brooms! the Lakers have gone fishing in 4! Xander goes off on his Dad's Lakers for getting swept against the Joker. The Nuggets look like they are championship ready. Carmelo Anthony announces his retirement, while Lebron hints at ending his career as well. The Miami Heat look to put the Celtics away in 4 as well. The NBA script is in the garbage right now, nobody knows what will happen next.
The Conference Finals are set! Xander suffers twice as his Warriors are sent home by Dad's Lakers and X has his first career sports injury after breaking his toe this weekend! We watch the Lakers @ Denver game live as we simulcast the action while Dad gets the last laugh on Xander and his Warriors.
We got Xander sweating after his Warriors have fallen to a 3-1 deficit. Lakers and Warriors face off in Game 5 with the Warriors fighting to stay alive. Knicks take on the heat at MSG trailing 3-1 in a must-win in front of that tough NYC crowd. And we cover the latest in the Celtics/ Sixers and the Suns/ Nuggets series.
The Lakers at Warriors Conference semi-finals game 1 delivered record-breaking viewership with over 7.4 million average viewers. It was the most watched conference semi-finals game ever! And for good reason. Curry vs. Lebron... Warriors vs. Lakers... Legacy vs. Legacy.... most points ever vs greatest shooter ever.... It does not get any better than this. We share our reactions and recap the first games of the conference semis throughout the playoffs.
The most loyal NY Knicks fan joins the show to talk Knicks basketball! After years of disappointment, the Knicks are exceeding expectations and taking New York City to a new level. This has been a playoff for the ages, the perfect movie for the NBA. an 8th seed takes down a one seed, The Greek Freak has a philosophy on failure in sports, the King has his sights set on a ring, the Warriors are looking to repeat, and there are plenty of teams with a legitimate shot at winning the title. The NBA script has delivered all the drama we can handle.
The NBA playoffs are insane right now! but the NBA's worst nightmare is coming true as some of the biggest stars are falling to injuries in the postseason. All this talk about load management and everybody getting healthy for the playoffs is proving to be nonsense as we are missing some all-stars in these round 1 games.
We take you through each series and pick our round 1 winners.
Finally, it's time for the PLAYOFFS! we launch this episode on the day the play-in tournament kicks off with the Heat going at it with the Hawks and the Lakers facing the Wolves. We also make our picks for this year's MVP race!
Playoffs are officially 2 weeks away, exactly 14 days from today! in this hour we take you through the latest standings and predictions. The East seems pretty locked up but the West is still a battle. Lakers are pulling up to the playoff party, while the Mavs are waiting outside the club? It's going to be a wild 2 weeks before the dust settles, we get into the playoff seeding and go through our finals picks.
This is the final stretch of the regular season. All the power teams are making their final push to position themselves for the playoffs. The Lakers are back in the mix, the Knicks are making some noise, Ja is getting some help, and we have about 6 teams that are legitimate contenders to win it all. We will break down the Western and Eastern Conference seeding and power ranking, and touch on my end-of-season results for my 4 youth basketball teams.
Just when you thought we couldn't get enough... things get very interesting in the crazy world of the NBA. Ja Morant finds himself in the middle of a criminal investigation. King James can be out multiple weeks?!?! What does this mean for the Lake Show? We have a sniper back on the court. And.... another scoring record already?
The NBA has to figure out this thing they call an all-star game. Luckily, a pro dunker from the G-League named Mac came out of nowhere and saved the entire weekend. All-star game aside, the final stretch of the season is going to be must-watch TV! With big trades and contract buyouts, the playoffs are shaping up to be one of the best we've ever seen, unless we have some major injuries. Hopefully not!
The NBA is a script and they're not even hiding it anymore! Kyrie is in the Mavs, D-Lo is back in LA, and OMG... KD is in the Suns!!! This is insane. We have never seen a trade deadline go down like this. But wait.. there's more... The King aka LeDirector just broke the all-time NBA scoring record. What does this mean to Lebron's legacy and where do we rank him on that GOAT list? We unpack all the latest trades and get you up to speed on this Superbowl edition of Hoops RUs.
Reserves are final and oh boyyyyyy, we are missing some names that we expected on the roster. Fox, Ball, Butler, Harder???? What is going on? And we have a playground-style draft coming too? This is controversial and exciting at the same time let's go!
We get down to business and go through our all-star picks for the 2022-2023 NBA season. This year is loaded with talent and will probably have the most all-star SNUBS ever!
We kick off the new year with a fun episode as the league has been going off! NBA stars are breaking scoring records left and right all over the league. We had Luka Magic drop 60 with an insane triple double, then Spida Mitchell topped that with a 71-piece nugget just a week later! Teams are getting comfortable which means trouble for those teams that are starting slow.
My boys Blake and Raza join us on the show to talk basketball. They may look young, but they got all the NBA knowledge, old school and new school. These guys are basketball encyclopaedias. We talk about our favorite teams, players, and of course a little GOAT debating. Things get a little spicy.
Xander faces his toughest challenge yet as he goes through basketball tryouts for his middle school team while recovering from the flu. We take you on a step-by-step experience from drills to workouts to all the recovery methods we had to endure to get through this.
We are joined by one of the top AAU coaches in Westchester County and the founder of Faith & Grind Basketball, Mike Buffalo. Mike takes us through his journey running an AAU basketball program in the crazy world of travel basketball.
