Matzo Ball Hoop

Dubbed the second worst division in all of sports, there hasn't been a ton to be excited about with the Southwest Division in the 2020-2021 NBA Season. However, what does the future look like for the Rockets, Pelicans, Grizzlies, Mavericks, and Spurs? In this episode, Heath Dobson and I discuss.

Arguably the most competitive division in the NBA is the Pacific Division, which today has 4 playoff teams and a 5th with an incredibly funny Instagram page. I'm joined today by my friend Bobby Sill to discuss the Lakers, Clippers, Suns, Warriors, and Kings. Who is a true contender? Are any of these teams just a flash in the pan? Tune in to find out.

Today I am joined by my pal Steven Bagell, host of the NBAgell - your mom's favorite podcast. We discuss the interesting cluster of teams in the Northwest Division. The Timberwolves and Thunder are at the bottom of the west, while the Nuggets, Blazers and Jazz are all in the heart of the playoff race. Listen to who we think is a legitimate contender and what the future looks like for each of these teams.

While this will be one of the weirder All Star games in NBA history, the league is as star-studded as it's ever been, and there have been a lot of surprising performances to start the year. Listen in to hear who I think will represent their respective teams, including four first-time All Stars.

With the exception of the Detroit Pistons, I believe that each team in the Central Division has had a somewhat surprising start for one reason or another. Whether it's positive with the Pacers and Cavaliers, or negative with the Bulls and Bucks ( I know, just hear me out), this division has definitely been one of the most interesting to start the year.

The Hawks, Wizards, Heat, Magic, and Hornets are all at a unique crossroads for different reasons. In this episode, I discuss the position that each franchise finds itself in and what their outlook for the rest of the season and future will be.

In today's episode of Matzo Ball Hoop, I break down the 5 teams in the Atlantic Division - Nets, Raptors, Knicks, Celtics, and 76ers. I discuss how each team has performed so far this season, what their outlook is moving forward, and my expectations for each team.

In the pilot episode of Matzo Ball Hoop, host Jake Epstein parodies the infamous 2015 Bleacher Report article which predicted the top 20 NBA players in 2020. Listen to hear who will be the top 20 players in 2025, complete with some boiling hot takes.
