Bobby Marks is a very respectable guest. I like how he lets Brian finish his points and then adds his take. Not interrupting whenever he agrees or disagrees. I like when the hues of a podcast respects the one hosting lol
I’m definitely a nerd for the NBA but this group is my favorite of your podcast. The banter between you three is hilarious and you can tell you are all good friends. Too bad each episode couldn’t be just you three but I understand you need other guests. Not expecting you to ever see this comment
Spears seems like a nice guy, but man…. I think a snail talks faster than he does 😂
Now do the Western Conference Preview!
The Pod I was waiting on, EC preview 😍

Whoa. this got heated. This reminded of everyone who always argues that Lebron deserves to be MVP no matter how better of a season someone else may have. I like Windy but man he rides for his flawed opinion way too much.
Butthurt Brian lol
Windhorst is such a baby.
Top 25 based on potential instead of actual production?!? Might as well be a big market wish list and a small market F you.
Why does every episode have to be about Lebron?!? I love the NBA but what the F!!! And the Warriors aren't even in the top 8 in the West. I wish that NBA coverage was more like the NFL where they actually talk about all the teams. NBA content coverage sucks.
EMVPIID!!!!!!!!!!
