Anthony Edwards threw down the dunk of the year on the head of Yuta Watanabe. It was so devastating, it made Shawn think about hate crimes. AD is out for weeks to months and the Lakers are going down with him. Malik Beasley is going to jail, and Boogie Cousins is on the move. Dave and Shawn address all these issues and also gripe about lines at Starbucks and whatever the hell is happening down in Texas.

The Nets are really good and really bad at the same time it's incredibly confusing. Dave and Shawn try to figure out if the incredibly exciting Brooklyn team. Gamestop is rich again, or poor again. I can't keep track, but we try to figure out what is going on there. Dave hates Denzel Washington and Jared Leto, and Shawn loves Jason Sudeikis.

With a little bit of an extended layover, we are back, baby! Dave and Shawn took a little break because of the holidays, then Shawn caught Covid and couldn't get out of bed for, like, forever. We recorded this a little before the Harden trade, but we will make sure to get that in the next episode. Thanks for sticking with us. We promise we won't do that again.

It was the week before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring in the stands of NBA stadiums, because no fans were allowed. The lightning-fast preseason is here and we just have a few days until NBA regular-season games begin, with an amazing slate of games on Christmas day. Dave and Shawn discuss whatever the hell LaMelo Ball is doing with that awful looking shot, the new drama with Malik Beasley, and the changing of the Cleveland Indians team name.

We have one more week until preseason games start. Just amazing to think we are going to be watching games again in just a few days. Until then, we have a little gossipy headline of Malik Beasley and Larsa Pippen, we talk a little football and boxing as well. Dave and Shawn give their best fashion advice taking a look at the NBA's City Jersey lineup this season. Come hang out with us for a little while.

We have a little lull before the storm that is the NBA season. The off-season is almost over, even though it just started. In this episode, we look ahead to training camp this week as well as talk about the EPICNESS that was the Triller boxing match last weekend between Nate Robinson and Jake Paul, and Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. Dave and Shawn are getting absolutely stoked for the new season. Come take a listen with us.

Whoo boy! We really get into the wild world that is the NBA offseason. A typical months-long process has been condensed into a couple of weeks. Dave can't believe the pure foolishness the NBA has been working on to keep the Bucks from succeeding. Shawn really needs to chill out because he went waaaaay over his allotment of swear words. All in all these last few weeks has kind of gotten us down and we take a good hard look at why that is. Join us for episode number 2.
