The Double Double2022 NBA Draft ReviewThe results of the NBA Draft came out yesterday, with the Orlando Magic selecting Paolo Banchero #1 Overall. This episode, we break down each pick from the first round of this draft and give our thoughts on the selection and how that player may fit into their team. We are pretty optimistic about the players drafted this year, but there will be some question marks about how well players like Jeremy Sochan fit in their team. The top 5 of this draft is excellent, and we feel pretty confident that each player went to the right team. Enjoy!2022-06-241h 32The Double Double2022 Draft Tier ListThe NBA Draft is 3 days away! This episode, we make a tier list and break down where we think most of the high name draft picks will belong in. The tiers are: Superstar, Star, Mike Conley (1 Time All-Star at best), Role Player, Roster Filler. This draft class does not seem to be as star-studded as last year's, but anything can happen. We have a long list of productive role players in this list, and we are interested to see what you guys think. Enjoy!2022-06-201h 15The Double DoubleThe Golden State Warriors' Dynasty Continues - What Comes Next For Boston and GSW, + Draft TalkThe defensive showing of the Golden State Warriors impressed me very much. In a game where the Celtics knew they needed to take care of the ball the most, the Warriors managed to force 22 (!) turnovers, winning them the series 4-2. Steph Curry now has his first Finals MVP, and Jayson Tatum has a stain on his legacy that he will have to work very hard to get people to forget. Both teams have interesting decisions to make this offseason, and it will be interesting to see how much money Golden State is able to pay Jordan Poole, and if...2022-06-171h 14The Double DoubleWarriors Take a 3-2 Finals Lead, What Can The Celtics Do To Bounce Back?After an uncharacteristically bad shooting night from Stephen Curry, the Warriors still managed to pull away with the win in game 5 of the NBA Finals. The Celtics have been struggling with poor shooting and high turnovers this series, and changes need to be made to get Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown better looks. In this episode, we cover how each game has gone this series, what each team has been doing well, and what needs to change for the Celtics to have a shot of winning this series. Enjoy!2022-06-1451 minThe Double DoubleCeltics and Warriors Advance to The NBA Finals - Thoughts on the Conference Finals, Finals Talk w Mike Rugg and Jordan PoirierThe Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors have advanced to the NBA Finals, defeating the Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks respectively. In this episode, we start by breaking down the conference finals, and covering what comes next for each team that lost. The Finals this year should be incredibly exciting, and who will come out on top is anyone's guess. To get more opinions on what to expect from this Finals, we brought in hometown friends Jordan Poirier and Mike Rugg to give their thoughts on the Celtics and what they need to do to win it all. Enjoy!2022-06-021h 28The Double Double2022 Lottery Mock DraftThe NBA Draft Lottery was announced last week, so today we brought you our picks for 1-14 in this year's NBA Draft.

Some series look like they are mostly decided already, but there is still a lot of strong competition so far in the first round. We will be back later in the playoffs to give our predictions on Round 2, but today we cover everything you need to know about Round 12022-04-211h 14The Double DoubleFirst Round Playoff + Play-In ExpectationsThe regular season is finally over, and the best part of the NBA is on its way. This episode, we break down the teams involved in the play-in tournament this year, and what seed we expect each of them to fall to.

There's a few tough matchups this first round, and we will be covering how each series goes as soon as they start. Enjoy! 2022-04-121h 03The Double Double2022 Draft Preview, Lakers Struggle, Regular Season Home Stretch ThoughtsThe NCAA Championship happened yesterday between Kansas and UNC, so today we decided to talk about some upcoming rookies and some potential fits for them in the NBA. We are both early in our Draft Homework process, but we have about 15 guys that we've got our eyes on so far that we broke down today. The regular season ends on Sunday, so today we went over the way the standings are shaping up, and the struggles that the Lakers and Nets have had this season. When the regular season wraps up, we will have an episode out on upcoming...2022-04-061h 25The Double Double2021 Draft ReviewThe 2021 NBA Draft has looked very promising this year. In this episode, we review the first-round picks from the 2021 Draft, and discuss how they've played so far for their teams, and what improvements they need to make for next year. Not every rookie has played enough minutes in the NBA to fully gauge their talent, and we discuss some of those guys and what they need to improve on. There have also been a couple of pretty noteworthy second-round picks this year, and we make sure to give them their dues. Enjoy!2022-03-301h 22The Double DoubleKyrie is Back Full-Time, Suns stay Red-Hot, Who Wants to Face the Celtics? - NBA RecapKyrie Irving has been promoted to Full-Time again, after a change to the vaccine mandate in NYC allowing performers and athletes the chance to play in their stadiums unvaccinated. Ben Simmons seems to be out for the season, but Kyrie and KD getting more reps together will surely be a nightmare for whatever team they end up facing in the play-in tournament. The Suns are now at a league high 60 (!) wins, many of these while missing booker, Cp3, Ayton, and other solid members of the team. This team deserves a lot of credit, and they are certainly the team...2022-03-251h 03The Double DoubleJokic For MVP, Celtics Playoff Chances, Rookie Talk and Playoff Tier List - NBA RecapThe Boston Celtics needed a statement win. They had been dogpiling on bad teams for about a month and a half, and needed to prove to the NBA that they can beat legit talent. After a win against Memphis and Brooklyn, they have proved themselves as a legitimate playoff force. The Denver Nuggets have been carried by Nikola Jokic through the entire season, and he just put up a statline of 46/12/11/3/4 in an OT win vs a red-hot Pelicans team. Jalen Green and Cade have also been very solid recently, which gives their teams much more hope as they...2022-03-081h 21The Double DoubleThe Celtics Are Dominating, Cavs Rough Patch, New Look Philly, and More - NBA RecapThe Boston Celtics have had a dominant start to 2022. Their defense has been the best in the league over the past 2 months, and they find themselves tied for 5th place with Cleveland. We have had some disagreements about how real Boston's chances are at making a playoff run this year, but these games have been convincing. The Cavs are now 1-5 in their last 6 games, and their typically stellar defense has been nowhere to be found. James Harden has played 3 games for the Sixers, and the trio of Harden, Embiid, and Maxey have been unstoppable. Some other top teams...2022-03-041h 13The Double DoubleAll-Star Break Recap, Where is Zion?? and MoreThe All-Star Weekend this year had some very big highs and lows. The All-Star game itself was incredible, and Steph Curry was amazing to watch from behind the 3pt line. The 3pt contest is always fun, and watching the Rising Stars compete against each other was great. Unfortunately, the dunk contest this year was possibly the worst of our lifetimes. The dunks weren't incredible, and the constant barrage of ad breaks and missed attempts made it very hard to sit through the whole performance. All in all, it was a very solid weekend for the NBA. Zion Williamson is...2022-02-231h 04The Double DoubleThe Harden-Simmons Swap, New Look Celtics, and More - Trade Deadline DayAs of 3 pm today, the NBA's trade deadline has officially passed. And with that, the most anticipated trade in the league has actually happened. Ben Simmons will now be a member of the Brooklyn Nets, and James Harden will reunite with Daryl Morey in Philly to join Joel Embiid. We are pretty split on how this is gonna work for both teams. Both of these guys have very questionable playoff history and really need to prove themselves immediately if they want to reclaim any of that respect. Simmons is now surrounded by shooters, and Joel Embiid has one of...2022-02-111h 41The Double DoubleBig Trade Day! Sacramento and Portland Keep Taking L'sThe Trade Deadline is this Thursday, which means teams are scrambling to find the right trades for their players, and bring in the talent that they need for their futures. A few big trades happened over the past week, with Portland Shipping CJ McCollum to NOLA and Norm Powell and Rob Covington to the Clippers, which would be good for them if they were able to bring in talent back (Which they weren't...). The Kings, in an unsurprising fashion, traded the only player in the NBA that wants to play in Sacramento for Domantis Sabonis and some role players...2022-02-091h 23The Double DoubleAll-Star Starters and a Wide Open MVP Race - NBA RecapThe All-Star starters have been announced! Most of the names that made the list are pretty obvious choices, with the biggest exception being first-time all-star Andrew Wiggins. As crazy as that selection might seem, the injuries in the western conference have stopped their best forwards (Kawhi, PG, AD), from being able to play in the first place. The MVP race is also as wide open as it has been in a long time, and there really isn't any single player that could be considered a lock for the award. Jokic and Embiid are putting up 2 of the best seasons...2022-01-291h 09The Double DoubleMock Trades and Trade Rumors - Who is Getting Moved By The Trade Deadline?The Trade Deadline of February 10th is approaching very quickly, and there are a lot of players that will be eligible to be traded within the week. With that, we thought it would be a good idea to go over some of the trade rumors that have been going on around the league, as well as some mock trades involving the guys that we think make the most sense for each team to move. Someone like Ben Simmons is a guy we both think needs to be moved immediately, and there have been some rumors about where he could...2022-01-201h 20The Double DoubleThe Chase Down Awards - The Halfway PointWe have made it almost to the halfway point of the regular season, and with that, it is time to give out some awards to deserving teams and players, Oscars style. We made a list with a bunch of superlatives, including Best Leading Role, Best Supporting Cast, Most Overrated, etc. This episode will be a breakdown of all of our picks for these awards, as well as some honorable mentions for different players and teams that deserve recognition. If anyone has any disagreements with our picks, find us on Instagram and let us know! Hope you all enjoy!2022-01-161h 21The Double DoubleROTY Check In and All-Star Voting ResultsAnother week, another god-awful performance from the Boston Celtics in the 4th quarter against the Knicks. This team has become unwatchable, and we're really struggling to stay engaged as fans with the Celtics. On a lighter note, the ROTY race is more entertaining this year than it has been in a long time. Unicorn Evan Mobley leads our rankings so far, but Scottie Barnes and Franz Wagner are right behind him. Cade and Jalen Green also are starting to pick their play up, and could fight for those spots by the end of the season. We also cover some...2022-01-071h 10The Double DoubleWhat's Going On In The NBA Right Now?The past few seasons of NBA basketball have been some of the strangest that I have ever seen. COVID-19 is running rampant through the NBA right now, and over 594 different NBA players have played in games this year, which is a new record. With all the weirdness around current rosters, it is hard to know which teams are legit and which teams are smoke and mirrors. In this episode, we take a look at some of the teams that have failed to reach their pre-season expectations, specifically the Celtics and Lakers. We also cover some success stories this year...2021-12-301h 22The Double DoubleNBA Awards - The Quarter PointWe have made it about halfway through the 2021-2022 NBA Season, and some very clear trends have emerged based on this season's regular-season awards. Today, we break down our picks for each regular-season award and cover some of the names we'd like to see on an all-defensive team if the season ended today. A lot of the #1 choices in our list today seem to be locks to win each award if they're able to stay healthy. The Most Improved Player is a toss up this year, but we're pretty confident in the rest of our picks. If you guys...2021-12-0749 minThe Double DoubleWay Too Early 2022 NBA Draft Episode!in Today's episode I just wanted to get the audience familiar with some big names if you didn't know them already! 2021-12-0317 minThe Double DoubleTough Times for The TWolves and Pacers, Jokic Back-To-Back MVP? - NBA RecapThe Minnesota Timberwolves and Indiana Pacers both seemed on-paper to be competitive teams to start this season. Minnesota is playing with a fully healthy roster for the first time in a long time, and Indiana had recently hired Rick Carlisle as Head Coach. Despite this, both teams have been mediocre to start this season, and neither team has an easy way out of their rut. The Denver Nuggets have been incredible in the minutes that Jokic plays, but they have been absolutely awful with him on the bench. Jokic has an argument early for another MVP award this year...2021-11-1646 minThe Double DoubleTrends and Dead Ends, and Thoughts on Cade vs GreenWe're about 10 games into the season now for most teams, and the standings in the East and West right now are not what anyone expected. In This episode, we break down some trends we've noticed through these 10 games, and whether or not we think they will continue through the season. Teams with high hopes coming into this season, like the Celtics, Hawks, and Lakers, find themselves much lower in the standings than they would have hoped. Also, the Wizards have taken control of the 1 seed in the East recently, despite awful shooting from Bradley Beal. When his shot starts...2021-11-111h 12The Double DoubleThe Celtics are Imploding And It's Everyone's FaultAfter a busy couple of weeks, we are finally back together to make an episode for you guys about the Celtics. The Boston Celtics had the kind of loss yesterday that causes the entire NBA fanbase to talk about what is so wrong with the team. After starting the 4th quarter with a 14 point lead, the Celtics got outscored 39-11 and lost the game by 14 points. We both have a lot to say about what's wrong with this team, but the biggest bit of finger-pointing goes to Jayson Tatum. Tatum has been averaging 25ppg on 25 shots per game (!), and...2021-11-021h 05The Double DoubleWestbrick reaches a new low! rookie report!In today's episode, we talk about how bad Russel Westbrook is and why no one ever talks about it. we also go over the Celtics struggles and some of the rookies that are continuing to impress.

The reigning champion Bucks take on the Kyrie-less Nets, while the New look Lakers face off against Golden State. Before we cover those games, we have to talk about NBA drama. Ben Simmons has returned to the Sixers, but has recently been suspended from the game opener. Ben Simmons has been throwing in the towel ever since showing back up, and so far his antics have cost him $1.4 million in fines. Also, The Phoenix Suns refuse to offer a max contract to Deandre Ayton, making him a free agent in next year's pool. There...2021-10-1938 minThe Double DoubleKyrie "Part-Time Player" Irving, Ben Simmons Back in Philly, Preseason Thoughts - NBA RecapThis has been a very strange offseason in terms of news. With the decisions made by different Arenas across the country to not allow unvaccinated athletes to play in their stadium, Kyrie Irving has found himself in yet another bit of drama. As it stands now, Kyrie will be paid $19 million for this season, half his contract. He will not be allowed to practice with the team, or play in home or road games. If Kyrie decides to get the vaccine, he will be eligible for all $38 million and will be able to play all games.

Neither of us are big-time sports betters, but we know enough about basketball to help. In this episode, we cover the projected win totals for most teams in the NBA, and whether or not we should take the over or under for their win totals. The Brooklyn Nets sit at 55.5 wins, which to us seems incredibly low. Both of us would bet the over on Brooklyn, and the under on San Antonio. The Spurs will likely have...2021-09-0348 min
The Double Double2022 Western Conference BreakdownWith our Eastern Conference Breakdown video out yesterday, we felt like it would be a good idea to make the video about the West next. In this episode, we rank our picks for seeds 1-15 in the Western Conference, and what about each team makes us think they will be where we predict. At the top of the conference, The Los Angeles Lakers seem to be by far the best team. After that, the conference is a bit more wide open. The return of Klay Thompson to the Warriors could put Golden State as high as 2, and the return...2021-08-251h 06The Double Double2022 Eastern Conference BreakdownA new season of NBA Basketball is starting to approach, and with that, we felt like it was a good time to give a full breakdown of this season's Eastern Conference. Today we list our predictions for seeds 1-15 in the Eastern Conference and back up why each team should be where they are. This is a year full of parity, and the strength of this year's Eastern Conference seems to be as good as it has been in a long time. This makes this year's 5-10 seed much harder to predict than in years prior. The Nets and...2021-08-231h 37The Double DoubleRookie Report!

In this episode, we go through the first round of the draft and give our thoughts about each pick, and about what players we would've imagined being taken in those spots. Players like Josh Giddey and Josh Primo rose far higher than expected on draft night, and it remains to be seen how worthwhile those picks will be. Players like Alperen Sengun, taken 16th by the Rockets, immediately look like steals. This class looks to be one...2021-07-301h 19The Double DoubleNew Thoughts on Players Heading Into Draft Night, Beal and Simmons Trade RumorsThe 2021 NBA Draft is finally happening. With all of the hot takes we have had about the players entering this draft, we have had changes of heart with many picks. In this episode, we discuss some of those players and how our perceptions of them have changed, and where to expect some players to fall in the draft. The Lottery is pretty wide open this year for picks 7-14, and there are a few big names we brought up that have shot up mock draft boards recently.

With a Championship and Finals MVP now under his belt, Giannis is building one of the best basketball resumes of all time. In this episode, We cover the legacy implications following the win for Giannis and the Bucks, and what comes next for Chris Paul and the Suns. Chris Paul is likely never coming back to the Finals, and may be forever forgotten as a talent...2021-07-2151 minThe Double DoubleDame Trade Rumors! Giannis Is Keeping The Bucks In This - NBA RecapDamian Lillard held an unexpected conference after a Team USA practice addressing rumors that he was going to request a trade soon. While he did softly deny the rumors, he did admit he wants a chip, and he doesn't feel like his team could get him one. We think he will be gone soon, and we give some ideas as to where he may go. Also, The NBA Finals is tied at 2-2, after another 40-10 game from Giannis in Game 3 and a 40pt night from Middleton in Game 4.

We've been off the past week or so dealing with personal matters, but we are through 2 games of this year's NBA Finals, and it's time to talk about it. Chris Paul and Devin Booker have lead the way for Phoenix, both scoring over 27ppg so far. If the series continues this way, Chris Paul may very well be on his way to earning a Finals MVP, which in our opinion seriously puts him in the top 5 point guards of all time category. On the Bucks side, Giannis has been carrying this team about as well as...2021-07-1035 minThe Double DoubleChris Paul's Legacy Game, What Happens with the Clippers, Can Trae Young Make The Finals? - NBA RecapThe NBA Finals are almost here. Chris Paul played possibly the most meaningful game of his 16-year career, dropping 41 points and 8 assists with 0 turnovers to give Phoenix the series win over LA. The Suns are now Finals bound and get some much-needed rest while the Bucks and Hawks battle in the East. Injuries have temporarily knocked out the best player for both teams, and the better-coached Hawks won convincingly in game 4, and have a bit of momentum going into game 5. If the Hawks are able to top the Bucks, there are headaches awaiting the GM of Milwaukee regarding what...2021-07-0158 minThe Double Double2021 Mock DraftThe draft is probably one of our favorite parts of the NBA. The storylines, the potential trades, the sleeper picks, there is so much to like about the draft process. With the draft lottery order being announced at the start of the week, we decided to break down who we think each lottery team will pick. We have some different player comps for most of the people on our list, and we have some good discussions about what each team is looking for and why they might choose the players we put on our list. We are assuming for this...2021-06-271h 03The Double DoubleCoaching Changes, 2021 NBA Draft Lottery, and "Empty Stats" Players Proving Themselves - NBA RecapThe order for this year's NBA Draft was picked live on TV, and the Detriot Pistons received the #1 overall pick for the first time in decades. This episode, we go over the top 10 draft order, as well as give some takes for who we think belongs at what spot. Watch for a new episode soon with a full mock draft for the lottery picks. The Conference Finals have started in both the East and West, which gave us a good time to talk about the Sixers' collapse in the series and where the blame should go for that squad...2021-06-241h 19The Double DoubleThe Kemba Trade, Coaching Changes around the League, and The Epic Collapses by the Sixers and Bucks - NBA RecapThe offseason moves have started early for new Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens, with Kemba Walker and the 16th pick in this year's draft being traded to OKC for Al Horford and Moses Brown. Al Horford has had plenty of reason this past season and should be coming back into the Celtics roster with fresh legs and a solid understanding of the offensive and defense that the Celtics run. Around the league, Rick Carlisle, Stan Van Gundy, and Scott Brooks are no longer coaches of their former teams, and there have been constant rumors about how those...2021-06-181h 15The Double DoubleEmergency Podcast: Are the Nets in Trouble?The Milwaukee Bucks have found themselves still in their series against the Nets, in large part due to an ankle injury suffered by Kyrie Irving early in the game. With the series being tied 2-2, and no word on when James Harden or Kyrie will return, we felt like it was a good time to talk about how much danger the Nets' playoff goals are now in. Without 2 of the best point guards in the game, Kevin Durant will be asked to do much more than usual in order to get his team the win. KD has gone most...2021-06-1431 minThe Double DoubleSuns Clobber Nuggets, Donovan Mitchell is a Superstar, and the Nets and Sixers Keep Rolling - NBA RecapThe Phoenix Suns are an unstoppable force. Chris Paul has been arguably the best PG of the playoffs and has helped lead the Suns to a 3-0 series lead over the Denver Nuggets, much to my disappointment. Nikola Jokic had an incredible game 3, putting up 30-20-10, but it was not enough to overcome the weakness of his roster. Utah has taken a 2-0 series lead, mostly on the back of incredible scoring from Donovan Mitchell, and excellent team defense. The East has been far less competitive. The Nets and Sixers have both lost a game in their series...2021-06-1256 minThe Double DoubleClippers Sneak Past Mavs and Trae Young Shines as Round 2 of the NBA Playoffs BeginsAfter an incredibly entertaining game 7 from the Clippers and Mavericks, the first round of the playoffs has officially come to an end.

Brad Stevens has worked incredibly closely with these players for years, and should hopefully be able to build this team in his image. This also means that the Celtics need to find a new Head Coach, and early rumors are not incredibly promising. In basketball news, Damian Lillard dropped 12 threes and 55 points yesterday in a loss to Denver, putting the series now at 3-2 Nuggets.

After having a terrible game 1, Anthony Davis has averaged 34/10 the past 2 games, taking 35 free throws in the process. Luka Doncic has owned the LA Clippers and has us a bit worried about Kawhi Leonard's future as a Clipper. Ja Morant scored a career-high 47 (!) points against the Jazz in their loss Wednesday. In this episode, we break down how each series has gone so far, and what each team should be doing to win going...2021-05-281h 25The Double DoubleWelcome to the NBA Playoffs - Thoughts on Game 1's Across the LeagueAfter a long and unique regular season, the playoffs are finally here, and they have been incredibly entertaining. It's typical to expect a couple of uneven and boring series, but every game 1 this year was exciting, and the potential for a 7 game series is everywhere. We start off this episode by talking about our biggest surprises, like the Mavs dominating the Clippers and Kawhi and PG being unable to score. We also highlight some noteworthy performances, like AD struggling against Deandre Ayton and Devin Booker scoring at will over LA. Most of our bracket for these playoffs still remains the...2021-05-2543 minThe Double DoubleTop 10 Players Heading Into the 2021 PlayoffsAfter tonight's game between Memphis and Golden State, we will finally be into this year's playoffs. With that, we wanted to give you guys our list for who we think the top 10 players are in these playoffs. Both of our lists are based on who we trust the most going into the playoffs, and who had the best regular-season play this year. This is a year for lots of players to prove themselves as clutch players in the playoffs, like Joel Embiid and James Harden, who I expect to have monster performances in this first round. Some other players...2021-05-2136 minThe Double DoubleWrapping up the Regular Season, Expectations for the Play-In and PlayoffsYesterday marked the final game for every team in the NBA for this year's regular season. There were a ton of interesting games with important implications, like Warriors vs Grizzlies and Wizards vs Hornets. Steph Curry managed to secure his 2nd scoring title, averaging 32ppg this season, with a 46pt night against Memphis, while Russell Westbrook had his 184th career triple-double in a win over Charlotte. In the second half of the episode, we talk about every upcoming playoff matchup, including the most exciting player-to-player matchups and our predictions for who will win each series. We definitely have some...2021-05-171h 15The Double DoubleSad Days as a Celtics Fan - What To Expect Going Forward from the C'sWith the news of Jaylen Brown tearing a ligament in his wrist and missing the rest of the season and playoffs, we thought it was a good time to make an episode breaking down the problems that have plagued Boston this year, and take any silver lining that we could from the season. The C's managed to play 0 games together this season with a completely healthy lineup, which seems to be one of the driving forces behind their lackluster season. We talk about what kind of decisions are left for Boston to make in the offseason, and who we...2021-05-1158 minThe Double DoubleLakers Drama and Early All-NBA SelectionsWe are very close to the end of the regular season, and there is some turmoil in LA. Andre Drummond has not been the savior that the Lakers have needed and has actually actively lost them games in this last week. The only good win from the Lakers came when Frank Vogel benched Drummond and let Marc Gasol defend Jokic, which he did incredibly. Also, we wanted to give our lists for the three All-NBA teams, and talk about why we feel each player deserves their title. Some players, like Steph, Giannis, and Jokic clearly belong in the 1st...2021-05-0748 minThe Double DoubleWhat's Wrong With the Blazers, MPJ Shines for Denver, and the East's Battle For the Fourth Seed - NBA RecapWith Anthony Davis and Lebron both missing over 15 games with Lakers, many teams in the West had the opportunity to catch or pass them in the standings. Portland was one of those teams, with Jusuf Nurkic and CJ McCollum both returning for injury, and with new acquisition of ex-Raptor Normal Powell. Instead, Portland sits at the 7th seed in the West, winning only 3 of their last 10 games. This episode, we talk about what the problems have been for Portland during this stretch, and what kind of changes should be made to this team in the future. We also cover...2021-04-301h 27The Double DoubleSneak Peek At The 2021 NBA Draft - Which Teams Are Tanking, and Who Are They Going After?As we start to reach the end of the regular season, we have a much clearer picture of the teams fighting for the worst records in the league, and subsequently for the top pick in next year's draft. We have talked quite a bit about some of the prospects, especially 6' 8" 220lb Cade Cunningham, so we felt like today would a good time to dive more in-depth on the top picks in the 2021 draft, and which teams we think should go after which players. Outside of the top 5, the rest of the picks in the lottery are up for...2021-04-241h 05The Double DoubleHow do the Nuggets Deal with Jamal Murray's Injury, A Look Ahead to the Play-In, and some Heated Romeo Langford Talk - NBA RecapUnfortunately, the landscape of the NBA has been affected pretty heavily by injuries. Jamal Murray recently added his name to the far too large list of big name stars to get injured this year, and he'll be missing the rest of the season and playoffs with a torn ACL. This epsiode, we talk about how this affects the Nuggets as a whole, as well as the long-term implications about Denver's championship window. Also, we take a look at the 7-10 seeds in the East and West and give our takes on who wins which matchups, and how much movement...2021-04-1657 minThe Double DoubleDurant and Embiid are Back, and as Good as Ever, Jokic and The Nuggets On The Rise, and More - NBA RecapAfter missing the last 22 games with a hamstring injury, Kevin Durant made his return against the Pelicans and scored 17 points without a miss. Joel Embiid has also dominated in the few games in his return, getting to the line for 20 Free Throws against the Celtics. Over in the Western Conference, The Nuggets have passed the Lakers in the standings, bringing Denver to the 4th seed. They have looked incredible as a team, and could certainly battle the Lakers as contenders in the West. In this episode, we cover this news, as well as the strong play recently from the...2021-04-081h 03The Double DoubleParity Problems in the League, and New Look Celtics, Nuggets, and Bulls - NBA RecapThe biggest names from the buyout market, Lamarcus Aldridge and Andre Drummond have made their way onto contenders. Today, we start this episode by talking about the fairness of the Nets picking up Griffin and Aldridge for a combined $2.1 Million, and how the lack of parity affects our enjoyment of the league. We all remember the KD Warriors dynasty, and we all collectively felt like the championship was a wrap at the start of the season. With the insane amount of talent the Nets have, it will be pretty close to impossible to beat this team in a series...2021-03-3159 minThe Double DoubleTrade Deadline Review - A Day Full of TradesAnother year, another incredibly eventful final day of trades in the NBA. While we didn't see as much movement as we were expecting, there were still tons of interesting moves made today. The Bulls upgraded in a big way, replacing their center combo of Wendell Carter Jr. and Daniel Gafford with All-Star Nikola Vucevic and ex-Celtics big Daniel Theis. The Celtics made a couple of moves themselves, some for the better and some for the worse. In this episode, we break down every important trade that took place today, and how much the new acquisitions move the needle for...2021-03-261h 00The Double DoubleLosing the MVP and ROTY Frontrunners to Injuries, and New Trade Rumors - NBA RecapIn one week, we lost the Vegas Odds favorite to win the MVP (Lebron James), and ROTY (Lamelo Ball) to injuries. Lebron will be back likely before the playoffs start, but losing out on a month definitely puts him out of the running to win MVP. In this episode, we discuss how each of these teams will hold up with their top players missing, and what we think this means for each of those award races. Anthony Edwards has been balling out recently and certainly looks like he could take that ROTY mantle, but he needs to improve his...2021-03-2459 minThe Double DoubleRealistic Expectations for the Celtics, Harden in the MVP Conversation, and the Heat Rising - NBA RecapThe Boston Celtics have not been very fun to watch this season. There have been some good, hard-fought wins, but also some games with terrible effort from the whole team that ended in blowouts. This episode, we start by being realistic about what to expect from this team this season, and what needs to happen next season to change things for the better. The injury to Joel Embiid has opened up the MVP discussion again, and we try our hardest to make the case that Lebron should not be the runaway favorite, although ESPN and Vegas-Odds seem to point...2021-03-181h 13The Double DoubleThe Midseason Review of The NBA's UndesirablesNow that we have made it through the All-Star break, we felt like it was time to review the teams that nobody in the NBA community outside of the fans of these teams talk or care about. We talk enough about the best and most interesting teams in the league (Suns, Jazz, Celtics, Nets, etc.), so in this episode, we try to cover the teams that we have mostly ignored throughout the season. Some teams, like the Timberwolves and Rockets, have been dealing with injuries to their better players, and haven't been able to show their potential as a...2021-03-121h 26The Double DoubleNBA Award Race - The Halfway PointWe have made it halfway through a very strange season of the NBA, and with that, we felt like it was time to review our preseason picks for each NBA award, and who we think is now leading each race. Some of these awards, like MVP and DPOY, have some good competition and definitely will be up for debate as the season continues. Some others, like ROTY and 6MAN, already seem like they have clear favorites, with no real challenger for second place. We both had some pretty big swings and misses in our preseason predictions, but some of...2021-03-111h 06The Double DoubleBlake Griffin to the Nets, All-Star Day Recap, Trade Rumors - NBA RecapAfter an enormous buyout from Detroit, Blake Griffin is now a Brooklyn Net! Today, we start by breaking down this signing, and the effect it might have on the Nets' ceiling, as well as the potential downsides to playing a traditional PF as a small-ball center. There are lots of bigs to give minutes to on this team, and it will be interesting to see going forward how those minutes are distributed. Also, the All-Star competition was yesterday, so we go over what we liked the most, what we liked the least, and our thoughts on how to improve...2021-03-0849 minThe Double DoubleTrue/False Questions - Should Lloyd Pierce Have Been Fired, Is Miami a Contender Again, Embiid For MVP and MoreWith the amount of new news in the NBA as we approach the all-star break, we decided this episode to go over a dozen True/False questions and see where we agreed and disagreed. Questions like "Are the Suns a threat to win the west?", "Is the Mavs recent success sustainable?", and "Will Orlando decide to trade Nikola Vucevic?", along with a bunch more. With the trade deadline approaching quickly, we are sure to see answers pretty soon to a few of our trade-related questions. Hope you all enjoy!2021-03-041h 02The Double DoubleNBA Trade Machine IdeasSince the trade deadline is less than a week away, in this episode we decide to come up with our own realistic trade scenarios and discuss why we think they could benefit both teams. The Celtics have been looking for potential trades, and we go over some potential options for them. We also cover good trades for the Bulls and Pelicans, as well as ways for some top-tier teams to bolster their lineups before the end of the trade deadline. Enjoy!2021-03-0137 minThe Double DoubleAll-Star Reserves, Porzingis Trade Rumors, and More - NBA RecapWith all of the 2020-2021 All-Stars being announced yesterday, we start this episode breaking down our thoughts on who deserved it, who we're happy to see make it, and who we think might've gotten snubbed. We also talk about the rumors of a possible Kristaps Porzingis trade, as well as the replacement of Ryan Saunders from the Timberwolves, and what to watch for from them moving forward.

Enjoy! 2021-02-2648 minThe Double DoubleCeltics Talk and Rapid Fire Q's w/ Nate MoskowitzWe got another guest on! This time, we brought on a friend and big basketball fan, Nate Moskowitz, to get his take on how Kemba and the Celtics have been looking, and what kind of players he'd want to see the Celtics target at the Trade Deadline. We also talked a bit about All-Star starter selections, and who we're rooting for to make the reserves. Finally, we give him rapid fire Agree or Disagree questions about players in the league, who we think will make it to the Finals this year, and more. Hope you all enjoy!2021-02-2150 minThe Double DoubleCeltics Slump, Red Hot Suns, Dame for MVP? - NBA RecapBeing a Celtics fan has not been that fun the past few weeks. After losing to the Wizards and Pistons back-to-back, we felt like talking about what's going wrong with the Celtics, and what sort of moves we expect to see from Danny Ainge moving forward. The Blazers and Suns are both 9-1 in their last 10 games, with some phenomenal play from Lillard and Booker, respectively. With the injuries that Portland's been dealing with all season, we think Dame Lillard absolutely deserves to be mentioned in the MVP conversation. We also talk about potential trade news, as well as...2021-02-181h 14The Double Double2020-2021 All-Underrated PlayersThere are lots of reasons people in the NBA become underrated. Sometimes they sign too big of a contract, sometimes they are too young, and haven't gotten the respect they deserve, and lots of times it's due to them playing on small-market teams, and being widely ignored by the casual NBA fan. In this episode, we break down our 1st and 2nd team All-Underrated players so far in the season. We discuss why we think these players have been as underrated as we think they are, and what kind of skills are being overlooked/ignored by the NBA community at...2021-02-131h 03The Double DoubleLamelo Ball-in Out, How Good of an Idea is This All-Star Game? - NBA RecapWe've finally gotten to see Lamelo Ball start for the Hornets, and he has not disappointed. The dude has been shooting lights out from three, and the Hornets in the meantime have been really fun to watch. In this episode, we go over recent news in the NBA, including Celtics Trade Rumors, the abysmal past 10 games for the Cavs, and whether or not the players even want an All-Star game to happen. We also cover the battle between Steph Curry and Luka Doncic from a few days ago. Hope you enjoy!2021-02-101h 14The Double DoubleEmergency Podcast: Ja Morant vs Zion Williamson DebateAfter the strong performance by the Pelicans yesterday beating Phoenix, we started arguing over text on who we think is better: Ja Morant or Zion Williamson. The 1st and 2nd picks of last year's draft will likely always be connected, similar to how Trae Young and Luka Doncic are talked about together pretty often, so it seemed perfect to come on the pod and debate which player we'd rather have. We definitely both had a lot to say about each player, but if anyone feels like we missed anything, feel free to find us at TheChaseDownPod on Instagram or...2021-02-0546 minThe Double DoubleNBA Recap: Courtside Karen, Jokic for MVP, and moreIt's been a while since we went over recent game news and NBA drama in general, so today that's exactly what we did. After putting up 47 against Rudy Gobert and the Jazz, Jokic stands out to me as the only player from the west that is really deserving of being in the MVP conversation. The Brooklyn Nets played two polar opposite games recently, losing to the Wizards and then beating the Clippers, and we talk a bit about how much this team needs to worry about their roster construction going forward. Will there be a center somewhere available for...2021-02-031h 34The Double DoubleTalking Championship Odds w/ Mike RuggIn This episode, we brought on a good friend and Day 1 supporter of the podcast, Mike Rugg, to talk about the current Odds for the NBA Championship and which teams' odds have the highest value. Outside of the top 10 teams, we didn't see any serious title contenders, so today we went over the top 10, and how real their chances are at winning the Finals. And since we had another Celtics fan with us today, it made sense to spend a bit more time on the Celtics and their chances at winning a title this year. This episode was a...2021-01-311h 00The Double DoubleDay 1 of All-Star Voting : Who Deserves It?Today is Day 1 of All-Star voting in the NBA, which made us think it's a great time to talk about who we'd vote to become an all-star this season in each conference. With the amount of star talent in the NBA today, there are more players who deserve an all-star spot than there are spots to give. We talk about our starters in each conference, as well as our 7 reserves, and the players who may end being snubbed this year. Enjoy!2021-01-301h 15The Double DoubleThe Way Too Early NBA AwardsThis episode, we look back on our predictions for each of the regular season awards from episode 3 and talk about how close/far away we really were, as well as who has been leading in each category through the first quarter of the season. We also talk about what our predictions could do, if anything, to get back into these conversations. Some candidates already are looking like runaway favorites for these awards, and we give our thoughts on how sustainable these leads may be. Enjoy!2021-01-271h 19The Double DoubleGrass is Always Greener - Eastern Conference EditionFor a part 2 on the Grass is Always Greener series, we take a look at the Eastern Conference and nitpick what has gone wrong with each team so far, and what can be done about it. After watching the Nets vs Bucks, there were clearly holes in each team, and we break down those weaknesses along with the other top teams as well.

Hope you enjoy!2021-01-211h 26The Double DoubleGrass is Always Greener - Western Conference EditionAny sports fan knows that no matter how good a team's record is, there's always something to nitpick or complain about that team. In this episode, we pick the best teams in the Western Conference, and nitpick what has been going wrong for them so far and what to nitpick about their team this year. For the LA teams, this may be a bit tougher to believe due to their record, but there is always something that can be done better. We also give credit where it is deserved to each team, and talk about what they need to...2021-01-201h 30The Double DoubleNew Look Nets + MoreJames Harden has officially played his first game as a Brooklyn Net, and he played pretty fantastic. In this episode, we talk about our thoughts on how this Nets team looked in their first game, and what to expect from them when Kyrie returns to the team. We also talk about the struggles with the Chicago Bulls and Atlanta Hawks, as well as the return of Kemba Walker and what his return might mean for the Celtics going forward. Hope you all enjoy!2021-01-1757 minThe Double DoubleKanye IrvingThe time for a Kyrie Irving rant has come. After finally getting to choose his destiny as a basketball player and landing in BKN, many people thought that Kyrie's disrespect of his teammates and general toxic locker room antics would end. Instead, he has missed the last 5(!) games due to Personal Reasons, and has been spotted partying without a mask and giving Zoom lecture talks instead of playing basketball. The attitude has been impossible to root for, and we rant a bit about him this episode. With the recent news of James Harden becoming a Brooklyn Net, and the...2021-01-1426 minThe Double DoubleThe James Harden TradeIt happened! James Harden is no longer a member of the Houston Rockets. In this episode, we break down what each of the 4 teams involved in this trade gave up and received, and how that impacts each team going forward.

Hope you all enjoy!2021-01-121h 17The Double DoubleEp. 10 - Early Rookie Report CardsDespite the lack of a full offseason, many rookies have come into the NBA this year already looking like quality NBA players. In this episode, we pick a dozen rookies and give them grades based off their performance so far. We are aware that this is early into the season, and many, if not all, of these grades are going to change. But, many of the starts for these rookies have been noteworthy, which is why we wanted to discuss them early. We'll review these grades around the all-star break and the end of the regular season to see...2021-01-081h 06The Double DoubleEp. 9 - NBA Drama ReportThis episode, we wanted to give our thoughts on some of the drama that has been going on in the NBA recently.

After being overly optimistic on the Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards, we've both been disappointed a bit in how they've started the year. Some teams, like the Pacers and Timberwolves, were overlooked a bit by us to start this season, and we talk about some changes these teams could potentially make to improve, and who to trust on...2020-12-301h 17The Double DoubleEp. 6 - How The Season's Starting + Christmas DayWelcome to Episode 6 of The Chase Down, hosted by J.P.
