Three friends bonded by their love of sports and sports journalism discuss the goings on in the NBA landscape. Conor, Francis and Grant were roommates at a college in Memphis, TN, where their extensive sports debates first formed into a podcast. Now living on opposite coasts, sports is the only thing keeping them from fading out of each others lives. Long distance usually works, right?

#29
02/11/2023

Whatever you think of Kyrie Irving (and I hope it's bad things) you have to admire his flare for the dramatic. He showed up to prom, saw the boys and girls clustered on opposite sides of the gym, and emptied a fifth of vodka into the punch bowl. He's the hero that literally none of us want.

On today's episode, Francis and Grant are joined by Hawks beat writer Nick Andre to discuss the big moments of the trade deadline, including the Suns (2:30), Lakers (18:43), and how the deadline reshaped the conferences (31:27).
