We look at the NBA trades made so far in the offseason and the way forward for the teams that gained/lost major pieces to their team. We also dive into the soccer world and cover the recent signings, manager training styles, and news. Hosted by Tirtho and Jaeho.
We start with March Madness including St. Peter's historic victory of Kentucky and Murray State. Then we take a tour around the NBA making stops to discuss Ja's player comparison, Jokic v. Embiid, best duos in the league, Dame's motivations, and Luka ball.
Julien and Adith sit down for an hour of straight unfiltered basketball talk.
Cooper Kupp's legend keeps growing, and Aaron Donald came up big when it mattered - the Rams are a feel good story. What's going on with your favorite NBA team? Listen and stay to hear our thoughts on the most recent trades (Porzingis, McCollum, Simmons, Harden, Adams).
Nadal-Medvedev and the rising tide of athletes across all sports. The vocabulary of specialized soccer positions and the role video games have in shaping their usage. Recapping wildcard and divisional weekend with Allen and Mahomes trading blows, Rodgers' collapse, and Brady's near comeback from 27-3. Basketball has some new faces, PJ Tucker, Evan Mobley, and others.
We build NBA rosters by randomly picking teams (what would you have done?) and cover the first third of the NBA season.
Jaeho reflects on ATL's quest to get a major ring, Astros' continued quest for an untainted championship, the salary and scale of UFC fights, Rodgers tests positive for COVID and his response to vaccination status, and Ronaldo saves Ole's job whenever its on the line.
Julien and Jaeho chat all things baseball and cover the World Series between the Braves and Astros.
We talk about the Giants Dodgers game 5 check swing call, the longevity of players in modern sports today, the effect technological and medical innovation has had on athletics, the first athlete to be diefied, what a good day in the office looks like for Westbrook, and how to handle COVID vaccination status for NBA players (Kyrie and Wiggins as two examples)
We reconvene with a wide ranging session covering the Baseball playoffs and an interesting historical discussion about PEDs and eras defined by rule changing. Then, we cover the Ballon D'Or list and discuss how goalkeepers are judged today. Lastly, we cover the NBA preseason and talk about the foul baiting rule changes and the new-look Bulls.
We look at free agency moves across both soccer and basketball during the back half of the 2021 summer.
We break down the 2021 NBA draft from the top heavy lottery picks to some of the winners/losers of the night, and teams positioning themselves for the upcoming years.
We look back on two great tournaments, their results, and lessons.
We cover a lot of ground this episode. We start with the NBA WCF and ECF and talk about the Bucks' response without Giannis, the nature of the Hawks team roster construction, and CP3 and Monty Williams sharing a touching moment. Then, we move to the Euros beginning at the round of 16 including the most exciting game so far (France v. Switzerland) and some broader themes of the tournament (PKs and VAR). Finally, we finish with some Copa America analysis that essentially boils down to Tirtho claiming that Copa is more fun than the Euros because of less intentional polish and Messi. Hosted by Adith and Tirtho.
An NBA playoffs episode where we cover the last two rounds worth of action and dig into the conference finals. We talk about the injury bug throughout the league (Kawhi's leg, Harden, Nuggets entire roster, Lakers ... ), different coaches and their strengths (Ty Lue, Doc, Carlisle), Buck's finally figuring themselves out, and the rise of Trae Young's legacy. Hosted in hybrid (thanks vaccines).
We return to chat primarily about the Euros and discuss each group's situation. Mbappe and France, Spain has no goal scorers or Real Madrid players, and globalizing talent but centralizing capital amongst other things. Hosted by Tirtho and Julien

- The enigma of Kristaps Porzingis

We get together to talk about the semifinal results of the Champions League. Tirtho finally gets to watch Real Madrid lose, and speculates on Ramos leaving. Julien enjoys a PSG flame out and points out some sketchy commentary. Adith chooses Chelsea over Man City, choosing to be patriotic. We also talk basketball and the intensity of late season regular season games, Dennis Shroeder's tell-all interview in German, and playoff matchups we'd love to see. Adith rants about the Lakers.
We break down the Clippers and the culture of the team, discuss the playoff picture and some sleeper Eastern conference teams (Wizards, Hawks). We tip our hats to Curry, and favor him to win the MVP. Tirtho suggests that Embiid is in fact Hakeem but stronger and more physical. Lastly, we begin to dig into the now defunct Super League and the implications of such a league - more to come on this next week!
We dive into Liverpool, and take turns wearing the manager hat to discuss changes to right the ship. We cover the rest of the quarterfinal games and Adith predicts that Real Madrid win the Champions League this year.
