Coach Nick and Combo go deep on a wild NBA week: the Giannis “travel” discourse and how gather rules really work, whether SGA is a true point guard or a scoring guard, and why LaMelo Ball’s film says more about Charlotte’s stagnant offense than it does about his talent. They hit Austin Reaves’ handle and whistle, Rockets double-bigs and spacing, KD’s workload, the refs’ impossible sprinting angles, Kuminga’s encouraging evolution, and Harden’s lasting impact on skill development.
