End to End

An open worth getting behind. Black Lives Matter. No stats, just rolling through what this looks and feels like a month and half out from the start of one of the craziest endings to an NBA seasons in its history. I re-make my pick for the NBA finals and talk about who benefits from the layoff the most. 

We welcome back Steph Curry, wonder if his presence is enough to keep the Warriors from the number one overall pick. A questioning of the Kenny Atkinson firing. Mini late season Thunder profile, and then finish it off with a Lebron, Giannis MVP debate/ what makes them who they are and why its closer than we think. 

We jump right into the action, looking at the top of each conferences landscape, along with a post All-Star Weekend breakdown. 

A wrap up of this years trade deadline madness. Whats to like and not to like, a look to the future and what teams can learn from holding on to their guys a little too long. 

A somber start as I attempt to wrap up my thoughts on Kobe Bryant, along with a look at the feisty Memphis Grizzles, a rant about sportsmanship, is the trade deadline barren? And a spotlight on the insane run Damian Lillard is on.     Opening Audio 0:00-1:48 Is credited to "The Jump" Podcast and ESPN   Music By: Guitarsstate "Lofi Hip Hop Lounge" Guitarsstate "Action Funk Vintage Beats" Fonomo "Hip-Hop Is On" (Intro/Outro)

We get into Saturday's marquee matchup between the Rockets and Lakers, the death of the Rockets run, a trade idea for D-rose, why I'm out on the Heat, and a few All-Star weekend reform ideas.  Music By: Guitarsstate "Lofi Hip Hop Lounge"  Guitarsstate "Action Funk Vintage Beats" Fonomo "Hip-Hop Is On" (Intro/Outro)

We start with a farewell to David Stern, then a rookie round up of sorts as Zion (and the Pelicans) and Ja get some much deserved attention, trades for better or worse, and another: what the hell? With the 76ers.  Music by: Guitarsstate "Lofi Hip Hop Lounge"  Guitarsstate "Action Funk Vintage Beats" Fonomo "Hip-Hop Is On" (Intro/Outro)

A recap of the Christmas day games and thoughts moving forward for the collective teams, along with a run through of the first trade of the year and a look into the future of the league.  Music By:  Guitarsstate "Lofi Hip Hop Lounge"  Guitarsstate "Action Funk Vintage Beats" Fonomo "Hip-Hop Is On" (Intro/Outro)

Some personal notes, along with a breakdown of possible Kevin Love trade options, the Knicks are impossible, and a welcoming to a young super star. 

We jump straight into the new league format being pushed towards existents, a Donic-Harden comparison, teams with a punchers chance to get into the playoff hunt, and LeBron's greatness takes us out. 

We welcome back Paul George and Carmelo Anthony to the league and analyze the future for the perpetual MVP candidate (George) and the journeymen superstar (Anthony). Along with a "Way Too Early Tier" list, where we slot the top 8 seeds from the East and West as the standings are comprised today, into 4 tiers of playoff readiness. 

Fractured hands taking over the NBA? Along with a Laker's trade that could bolster their shooting, and a look at how the Rockets defense or lack there of is more detrimental to their success than we think. 

With the first weekend of the NBA season in the books, we recap some of the highlights and topics surrounding the league. 

A quick recap of the major extensions from the day before tip-off. Along with an exuberant list of "Headlines" from the year to come. 

Awards predictions, that's all folks. 

The time has come for seeding predictions and ultimately who will be our champion. James Harden makes yet another appearance on End to End, along with a rant to take us out. 

Christian Golden joins me again to finish off our "most likely to" lists. We hit on breakout teams, teams most likely to blow it up, and a few more stops along the way. 

Christian Golden joins me to break down some of the biggest storylines and questions heading into this season. We hit on, most likely to be traded, most likely to ask for a trade, and candidates for a true breakout year. 

A variety show while we count down the days too Tipoff.  A Rondo appreciation moment, Doc Rivers comments on the time leading up to signing Kawhi, Lebron's F-U season is on the horizon, a quick rant about needless speculation, and some thoughts on the new tampering rules and regulations. 

I give my two cents on the Ninja Head Band issue. End to End's first top 10 list, along with a rant about James Harden and a close out to USA Basketball. 

A bit of a ramble session, I hit on: The Lakers without Boogie, young Team USA, D rose a Hall Of Famer? And a short review of the new 2K20.

An oddball comparison of three of the most dynamic sidekicks on championship teams.  Klay goes from pretty good, too great. Tenacity is the key. And a quick hit on USA basketball.    I used Basketballreference.com for all research 

On this episode of the Podcast I discuss mid market teams, including the Jazz, Pacers, and Timberwolves. With a "how important coaching is" tangent along the way and my excitement for second year players to take the next step. 

For better or worse a whole bunch of Russel Westbrook and Chris Paul. CP3 Deserves a proper burial. Brodie, for all that is well in the world, stop shooting so many jump shots. Hats VS Caps I interrupt my own show in the first few minutes to correct myself. 

Digesting the Kawhi signing and the impact of both LA team's moves so far this summer.

We hit on Free Agency and all its glory in the maiden voyage of the End to End Podcast.
