On the 352nd Episode of the Underdog NBA Show, Zandrick and Tyler celebrate the return of Lebron James, by talking about everyone's favorite topic -- THE DETROIT PISTONS. All kiddign aside, they talk about how the Lakers good run of games pre-Lebron potentially sets them up well before diving into what Lebron's role may look like given the leap in Austin Reaves play. They then talk some Thunder before jumping to the Pistons and discussing why they are a good story but maybe slightly further away from being title contenders. Finally Tyler rambles about Jokic's greatness for a bit because why not. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On the 351st episode of the Underdog Sports NBA Show, Tyler and Zandrick wildly overreact to the first 10% of the season. They focus heavily on the Chicago Bulls hot start, specifically about if Josh Giddy has become an all NBA-Player of if parts of his start are not sustainable. They then discuss the Philadelphia 76ers and Orlando Magic and why one hot start and one cold start aren't necessarily predictive. Finally they shout about the two LA teams after Zandrick saw the Clippers in person and things they are too old and the vibes are bad, before shifting the the Mavericks and why things may be worse than they seem.  Hosted on Acast.

On the 350th episode of the Underdog NBA Show it is time for the annual tradition. For the seventh year in a row Tyler and Zandrick draft all the NBA teams, split by conference, based on how many wins they feel like they will have. Fresh off the closest draft in history (a Tyler 4 win victory) Tyler gets the prize of drafting first in the East, which will likely cost him the whole contest. Inflection points include, Zandrick's dogged love of Philly, Tyler having no belief in Charlotte, Tyler believing the Knicks and Nuggets will play with the playoffs in mind and Zandrick feeling strongly about the Celtics.  Hosted on Acast.

They start with the massive favorites in the division, the New York Knicks, and their new coaching hire of Mike Brown. They discuss how the team could be better, but could lose more games this year due to prioritizing more rest. They shift to the 76ers who they believe have the largest range of outcomes in the league, before they move on to the Celtics. Tyler discusses a potential Celtics fire sale and why they should go under their win totals. They discuss the Raptors at length before moving to the tanking Brooklyn Nets.  Hosted on Acast.

One the 348th episode of the underdog sports NBA show, Tyler and Zandrick discuss the NBA Southwestern division overunders. They talk through the Rockets to start, who are the favorite to win the division, but are dealing with the injury news of Fred Van Vleet's ACL, and are suspiciously thin at the guard spot. They then shift to the San Antonio Spurs and discuss the logjam at the PG spot and how good Wemby needs to be for them to really be contenders. They then discuss the Mavericks and how top-heavy they are before shifting to the boring Memphis Grizzlies, and then shift over to the Pelicans and discuss the potential for Zion if his conditioning is in order.

Then Tyler rants about how well constructed the Hawks are and why he thinks their over-under is the bet of the year.

On the 344th episode of the underdog sports NBA show, Tyler and Zandrick go long on the three high profile unrestricted free agents, Josh Giddey, Cam Thomas and Jonathon Kuminga.

They then move to Cam Thomas and debate his role and his quality in that role and try and break down the disconnect between what Cam Thomas does and what the Nets need. Finally they get to the messiest situation with Kuminga and break down how the Warriors are mostly at fault and how Kuminga has been put in a very tough spot. Hosted on Acast.
