It's only one month into the season, and we are already seeing pink slips being handed out, verbal shots being fired, and wild endings in the NBA regular season. But is it a lot of loud noises signifying nothing or will they have major ramifications in the league? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are back to round out the news surrounding souring superstars with low morale, the return of the random DNP's, and the firings of Willie Green in New Orleans and Nico Harrison in Dallas. Did they deserve to be let go, and was it possibly too little too late for both teams? Are the Kings on the cusp of a blow-up and our third coach firing of the season? Are some of the October front runners like the Bulls, Sixers, and Blazers falling back to their means or are they better than people think? Riche and Adam also talk about last Monday's wacky slate of games ending on buzzer beaters, Steph Curry torching the young Spurs in San Antonio, calf strains, and more! So suit up and take it in episode 366 with the NBA-Team!

As the Emirates NBA Cup plays on during the regular season, there are some groups in the East and West that have been more competitive than others. But what if I told you that the NBA Championship will surely come out of two divisions (one in the East and one in the West)? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are back to explain how the Midwest and Northwest Divisions have sneakily dominated the NBA standings so far. With murmurs of a LeBron season debut coming up, how will J.J. Redick handle his inclusion now that Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves are on a scoring roll? What can the NBA do to make their new Cup Tournament not feel irrelevant to fans? Is the Bulls' hot start a red mirage after losing to the Bucks & Cavs? Riche and Adam also talk about Ja Morant and Trae Young both at a crossroads, the Rookie of the Year race, and more! So suit up and take it out in episode 365 with The NBA-Team!
