Show notes

Colin’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to talk all things NBA! They start with Luka Doncic making his debut with the Lakers and why his presence has reinvigorated the team and given the Lakers offense the juice to compete in the postseason (4:15). They examine all the potential western conference teams that could create problems for the Lakers in the playoffs and why the Lakers should be able to compete with all of them (8:00). Colin calls the Spurs the team he wouldn’t want to face in the playoffs despite having a record that wouldn’t qualify them for the play-in (12:45), and they discuss why Jimmy Butler being the “anti-Wiggins” has proven to be a perfect fit for the Warriors (14:30). They break down why the Kyle Kuzma trade for the Bucks was a sneaky good under the radar move (21:15), and discuss why in the era of analytics, intelligence and situational awareness are underrated traits in basketball players (28:15). Jason explains why the Lakers “small-ball” lineup isn’t actually that small (32:00), and try to solve the Knicks inability to beat the Celtics (36:00). They discuss why all the trade deadline moves have made the league far more interesting, and why the league and owners need to be less rigid about player movement and why the Luka trade wasn’t just good for the Lakers…but for the LEAGUE (46:00). Finally, Colin explains why the size of the supermax contract Luka was due makes trading him far less egregious (56:45).
