This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. Good morning, sweet world, and welcome to the No Dunks Podcast presented by FanDuel. It's Friday, March 6th, 2026. This is The Drop. I'm J.E. Skeets here in the Classic Factory, and alongside me, as always, Tass Mellis. Ready to smell some salts. Next to him, it's my top shot hot boy, Trey Kirby. Ayo! Ayo!

And over yonder, making the magic happen, Super Producer J.D. Hello there. There he is. Here we are. Hello to everybody on YouTube. Hello podcast listeners on today's show. Today's drop. We got Worst of the Week nominees. We're going to recap a few of last night's key games and big stories. We'll discuss Jason Tatum's forthcoming return. It looks like it's happening tonight on Friday night.

49.739 - 56.812 Unknown

But first... TAS does have to pay off. Last month's pick'em loss and the smelling salts are here.

0

57.413 - 58.595 J.D.

It's a little dragon on here.

0

58.776 - 60.439 Unknown

Wow. Sort of scary.

60.639 - 82.264 J.D.

It is scary. Okay, let's get into it. Let's just do this. Okay, the first time ever, correct? This is the first time ever. Apparently you have to put a little bit of water in to activate it. Now... The more water you put in, the stronger it gets. There's a scale on that little card over there. It says, do not put more than one and a half ounces in. Okay. So I'm not going to do that.

Chapter 2: What are the key highlights from last night's games?

82.806 - 88.56 J.D.

Actually, I might because I've already spilled a lot of it. All right. But it basically says...

0

Chapter 3: What can the Celtics expect from Tatum's return?

89.165 - 108.61 J.D.

Don't put too much water. Stay away from it. So as I puncture this seal here, I am going to stay away from it because I saw people say online, keep it a foot away from you as you smell it. The instructions say six inches, so half a foot. But anyways, I'm just going to be silent for a second.

0

109.011 - 113.016 Unknown

You have a sensitive nose, too. I was thinking about this on my drive in. Yeah, yeah.

116.249 - 126.222 Unknown

Okay, so far so good. For the podcast listener, Tass has punctured the little foil top. The water's going in. Oh, now he's pouring it in. Okay, this is not how we thought it would go.

0

126.242 - 126.863 J.E. Skeets

Can you shake it up?

127.343 - 128.926 Unknown

I thought... Okay, yeah, anyway, keep going.

128.946 - 133.071 J.E. Skeets

Shake the bottle for a few seconds. That's what Vitalax Park is doing.

133.091 - 134.873 Unknown

Wow, that is so strong.

134.893 - 151.335 J.D.

Yeah, you can smell it right now. Again the instructions say keep it half a foot away from you so six inches away from you But then I saw people actually doing it and people who've done it before say 12 inches is good I literally just inhaled the air in here

Chapter 4: How does Jason Tatum's return affect team dynamics?

1137.132 - 1151.083 J.D.

And that's the looking back as being a fan of the Raptors back then. Any hope for March and April with some young blood is exciting. Obviously, Trey's not young blood, but just something. New blood. Something specific to jump on.

0

1151.103 - 1168.154 J.E. Skeets

He literally has young blood. He has young blood. He has young blood coursing through his veins. Fair point. But they got much older at the Trey deadline. Well, not... Much older, I guess, Chris Middleton was one of the guys they shipped out. And, you know, Trey is a little younger than him. But Anthony Davis, I forgot he is a wizard. He will be there eventually.

0

1168.214 - 1177.705 J.E. Skeets

No Saar last night, which, like, that'll be exciting to see. Trey and Saar playing together, getting the alley-oops. But very disrespectful to John Contra. Five steals and one block last night.

0

1177.725 - 1178.246 J.D.

Oh, good for him.

0

1178.286 - 1179.748 J.E. Skeets

Five steals, Jesus.

1179.728 - 1198.163 J.D.

He caught some balls, that's for sure. On the other side, the Ace Bailey thing was super fun. He took it to Trey on one possession, but you look at him, he had seven threes, the most he's ever hit in his young NBA career on 11 attempts from three, the most he's ever attempted in his career.

1198.424 - 1219.282 J.D.

You could see that first shot that he took was a 20-foot mid-range, like the longest mid-ranger you can take just inside the arc. And the Wizards allowed him to get so comfortable and to just absolutely step into it. If you want to get a hot... Not to take this away from Ace Bailey, but... If you want to score a lot of points, you play the Wizards. They've been doing it the last few weeks.

1219.342 - 1240.684 J.D.

Corey Kispert dropped 33 on his old team. Kaminga. Kaminga had a monster. Yeah, Lomelo had a 37 where he hit 10 threes. But I will say about Ace Bailey's threes, because you don't think about his three-point shooter and against seven threes. He started in the corner, but a lot of them were above the break. And he was getting comfortable. He even put one on the floor that was a pull-up three.

1240.664 - 1260.636 J.D.

A lot of twos, you know, when he was basically on a fast break. But he was doing those C cuts. It's the Lowry marketing cut where he gets into the middle of the floor, you find him, and he's able to punish guys like he did on Trey Young. But... that's what he's got to be doing. They still played him a little bit at the beginning of the season. This is how you're going to play.

Chapter 5: What are the nominees for Worst of the Week?

2859.519 - 2871.995 J.D.

We heard it. We heard it. We didn't see it. Star of the week. Listen, the first nominee are all those trees blooming in Atlanta that smell like sperm.

0

2872.015 - 2875.92 Trey Kirby

I hate those trees. They're beautiful looking trees. They're great.

0

2875.981 - 2879.045 J.D.

Flowering pear trees? Yeah, these pear trees that we don't eat.

0

Chapter 6: What happened with the Chicago Bulls' Rob Dillingham's turnover?

2879.065 - 2883.21 J.D.

Those are cum trees. They are. The Bradford pears. Anyways, yeah, they stink.

0

2883.23 - 2883.33 Unknown

Hey!

0

2883.31 - 2904.832 J.D.

Either way, the first real nominee is the Chicago Bulls' Rob Dillingham and his turnover. That is amazing that you have to watch over and over and over because he put it behind his back and he heel kicked it. That's amazing. But he didn't mean to. We are thinking that he is going behind his back to actually keep the dribble going.

0

Chapter 7: What are the highlights of the recent NBA games?

2904.852 - 2921.672 J.E. Skeets

I think so. I guess maybe he's trying a behind-the-back pass to Yabusele who's running on the wing, but he's trying something behind the back. And it ends up being a perfect backheel pass to whoever the magic defender is here. That's a rainbow kick. Perfectly executed.

0

2922.052 - 2944.519 J.D.

We've all watched it a thousand times to try and understand anyway what he's doing. So if you're listening to the podcast, go check out Ricky O'Donnell's tweet of this. That's where I got it from. SBN underscore Ricky. And you can, you know, if you want to search the word, some of these Rob Dillingham turnovers are mind boggling. So that's what he wrote. And because that was a mind boggle.

0

2945 - 2963.315 Unknown

That is now, we need one more for the trifecta, but that is two absolutely hilarious Bulls turnovers because the first one was Jaden Ivey with the directing traffic. He just kept directing traffic and he was like loading it up, loading it up, loading it up. And then he finally, right, tried to pass it. I think I got picked off. Yeah, instant turnover.

0

2963.335 - 2969.164 Unknown

Yeah, so now we got two after the Dillingham turnovers. Yeah, rainbow kick, but one more. Who's going to come through?

0

Chapter 8: What compliments do the hosts enjoy hearing?

2969.204 - 2989.876 J.D.

Second nominee, I'm giving it to me because when I ranked the top five NBA smiles on Wednesday's show, people called me out and said, hey, you've got to throw this guy in there. Throw this guy in there. I didn't give the people what they wanted. I said... Fifth was Shea. Fourth was Pascal Siakam. Third, Andrew Wiggins. My second favorite smile was Peyton Watson.

0

2990.116 - 2992.499 J.D.

And then number one was Steph Curry. But then people came at me.

0

2992.519 - 2992.819 Unknown

Oh, yeah.

0

2992.839 - 2996.204 J.D.

I got an Anthony Edwards multiple times. Anthony Edwards.

0

2996.224 - 3001.951 Unknown

I thought Tyrese Maxey was the one I saw the most. And I was like, ooh, yeah. He's got a beautiful smile. Good smile on that guy.

3001.971 - 3002.772 J.D.

Oh, yeah. Always.

3003.052 - 3005.876 Unknown

I was like, you probably could have bounced a guy or two for Maxey.

3005.996 - 3010.122 J.D.

Could have. No doubt. The Tyrese Maxey erasure is what I got.

3010.162 - 3011.243 Unknown

Yeah. There's no doubt. Again.
