The Golden State Warriors are BALLIN' out of control and that guy the Chef is bring back 2016. We discuss what has gone SO right for them and whether they should try and go turbo with a trade. Also, the Nets have quietly risen to the top of the East - so why is everyone still worried about them?? In honour of Ole Gunnar Solksjaer we ask the question --> who is the Manchester United of the NBA at the moment? And of course the weekly awards are BACK.
Hoop Nation hop on and listen in!!

We've been STUNNED by the difference the foul rule changes are making on offense this season. The numbers don't lie and it's a BIGGG change for some players. But will it actually make them BETTER in the longer term? Pippen vs. Jordan takes another twist and we are starting to wonder if Pippen has a point with what he's saying... Out East, Celtics disappoint, Miami impress, and out East we're getting those 2016 vibes.
SO SO MUCH to talk about.
Hop in and Enjoy!

WE HAVE OURSELVES A SERIES!
2-2 Phoenix / Milwaukee. Home court advantage looks STRONG. Teams look evenly matched. And superstars are entering that legend territory. This brings us to many questions -
Who is the best player in this series?
Who is the MOST IMPORTANT player in this series?
Who has the momentum?
Is Giannis becoming a legend?
We talk about it all in this episode! Let's go!
-
Giannis is DOWN. Huge. There are no healthy superstars left in the NBA Playoffs. Surely an unprecedented situation! We discuss the problems with the Bucks and why the Hawks are now favourites, with some home truths. Out west, Phoenix are getting cold feet - can they close the deal against the newly mentally strong Clippers? We're not sure, but if they fail... CP3 legacy goes to CP0.
Enjoy!

These playoffs have been one for the ages. The 3 most favoured teams according to the bookies are OUT.
Brooklyn - HOME. Philly - HOME. Lakers - HOME. Number 1 seeds in East and West both HOME. The leagues MVP - HOME.
Been happening and breakneck speed and been refreshing for the league and the game as a whole!
The guys have each brought with them some analysis and a hot take for debate, and let's just say some of the arguments got a little...fiery!.
Enjoy the listen!!

What a difference a few days makes in the playoff world. The Bucks are back in the business. They are 2-2 with the Brooklyn Nets after being destroyed the first two games. In addition to the insults, there is of course injury, as Kyrie Irving has now gone down with an ankle injury. So no Harden. No Kyrie. Can KD step up?? And is this Giannis' big opportunity for a ring? The season just going crazy. Also, we give Chris Paul his flowers after he swept this years MVP Nikola Jokic. Finally, we talk about the LA Clippers aka The Flippers who are, once again, in a back and forth in the playoffs which looks like it'll go 7...

The Bucks are getting STOMPED by the Brooklyn Nets to a shocking degree - and this cannot be ignored. Oh. My. Goodness. Is it another Milwaukee choke job? Or are Brooklyn just that damn good? We discuss. Also...Doc has to address the awkwardness of the Lakers getting bounced in the first round, and has to have some group therapy for the pain. Oli plays it cool after the Clippers great escape, but it. looks like they are staring down the barrel of another tough series. And, are people finally going to start saying Utah and Phoenix are legit??

The Doc is devastated this week as things begin to look grim for the Lakers. AD injured, lost home court advantage, Clippers resurgent, Nets looking unbeatable, the list goes on. We let the Doc have a sulk and then breakdown the LAL vs. Suns series. Of course, we update everyone on the current playoff picture, as well as lock in our playoff brackets. Over in the East...that Nets team looks like a TRUE juggernaut!! Damn. What can you say.
Can anyone at least take them 7? We debate.

Play-ins were a nice change and we react to them, we react to the first set of playoff games, and then we give you our reactions to the series ahead (which will no doubt be wildly inaccurate)! Also, no Steph Curry in the playoffs again is disturbing, and we have to dive into that. Come and get involved Hoop Nation!

The thing about the NBA being so star driven, is that at times, when they shine, it can cause a large shadow to be cast over some people in the league. Not today. Today we show some love to the under-appreciated as we pick our most slept on players this season, and you might be surprised at the picks! It's also a tale of two teams in New York City, as one of the teams is on the rise and the other is on the slide...guess which ones which?? The Lakers need to be talked about also as we see their season disintegrate before our eyes.

What do you think is the most important thing that DIDN'T happen this season? This week we ask...What If? "What if" is probably the most fun question in sports and we explore the biggest what if's of the year. And yes obviously James Harden is a big part of the conversation but there are other huge moments too! Philly get scalded by the Doc for their recent woes, but other teams are unexpectedly finding themselves getting all kinds of "Respek" on their names!
Absolute cream cracker classic. Enjoy!!

Doc was fuming this week after the Brooklyn Nets fielded an understrength team in basically the only regular season game that mattered, against their rivals in the division and during a nationally televised game!! He's tired of the mockery being made of the regular season - and something's gotta change. This is what we discuss in this weeks pod. What would you change about the regular season??
Also we talk Steph. Is he better than Magic? What else has he got to achieve? Gives us a chance to revisit our all-time fantasy starting 5 teams too... and it gets controversial!!

POTENTIAL plays a big role in this weeks pod, as we respond to ESPN’s list of the Top 25 players under 25. *Spoiler Alert* Luka and Zion are EVERYBODY’S top 2, but - who has the bigger potential out of the two? We decide today. We also have to talk the Nets, who look LITERALLY unbeatable, but equally have got some injury problems that they have to keep one eye, and the Doc finally pushes the PANIC BUTTON on a team he’s been watching a while….
Lots of entertainment for you this week. ENJOY!!

We review the Eastern and Western conferences, looking at some of the more enigmatic teams in the league failing to fulfil potential. We then talk about the trade deadline, the winners and losers, and what the hell we now think of "Superteams". PLENTY TO SINK YOUR TEETH INTO.

The National Basketball Association meets the English Premier League.
What is the best league in the world? What can one League or Sport learn from the other?
Following the popularity of our "Best League in the World" Segment where we compare the NBA with different sports across the world, we decided to take the concept further, and bring you some bonus content via a huge cross-pod collaboration
The guys at the "We Talk Football" Podcast have joined us in the studio to help examine Football and Basketball as industries, discuss which sport excels in what, and ultimately, what's better! Was too too enjoyable to record.
We love bringing unique content to you at the Hoop and this is a totally new concept which WE KNOW you'll enjoy.
Sit back, relax, and have a listen!

The Trade Deadline always brings with it drama, and sends ripples through the NBA. Fortunately we're here to cover it. Who's going where? Who got traded, who SHOULD be making moves? All talked about on this episode. Plus WE CANT FORGET. LeBron and LaMelo have gone down with injury - painful to us, them and the NBA. We really think these injuries could be some of the most influential in the NBA season.

The trade deadline is approaching and we think this is HUGE. So many teams schedule has been sped up by the BKN Nets ascendency, and windows are closing FASTTTT. Teams need to be aggressive and we discuss who needs to be buyers and sellers coming up to this last week. On top of that some players need to be looking to move to make themselves relevant, and we discuss that too.
Doc demands an apology, Oli explains what's wrong with his Clippers, and K.Dot gives us his review on why the Brookyln Nets are so. Damn. Good.
