On today's episode, we are breaking down the Eastern Conference Finals Dominated by the Boston Celtics over an overachieving Indiana Pacers team. We break down the Pacers run to the Conference Finals, and why we forsee a stepback going into next season for the Pacers and, potentially, Tyrese Haliburton. Then, we break down the Boston Celtics 12-2 run through the Eastern Conference, and how after eight years of clawing and fighting their way through the Eastern Conference, including 40 playoff games in 13 months, Boston finally caught the break they were looking for at precisely the right time for themselves and for the fall of their Eastern Conference foes (Milwaukee, Miami, Philadelphia) Order our Debut Book The Spurs Dynasty: A Historical Account of the Greatest Dynasty in North American Pro Sports.

On today's episode, the Timberwolves just ended a generation of NBA Basketball. No MVPs are left in the Playoffs, only 1 previous Conference Championship exists between the four teams. It's time for a new generation of stars (Luka Doncic, Anthony Edwards, Tyrese Haliburton) to notch their playoff experience, while Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics now become the buffer team ready to try and win their Championship, just like how the 2019 Raptors bested the Warriors Dynasty and set the stage for a new era of Giannis/Jokic/Embiid/AD/Booker/Butler for 5 years. Game 7 of the Timberwolves vs Nuggets may be the most consequential playoff result we've seen in 5 years in the NBA Playoffs Order our Debut Book The Spurs Dynasty: A Historical Account of the Greatest Dynasty in North American Pro Sports.

On Episode 162 of WIRED Up, we have all the news and notes following the Indiana Pacers route of the New York Knicks in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Why the Knicks injuries cost them the series, but also they were still just as good as Indiana given those injuries and the Pacers did what they do best (great offensive execution) to still win the series they would lose 8 out of 10 times.

On today's episode, all 2nd Round NBA Playoff series are through four games, and three series are tied 2-2 going into Tuesday Night. We discuss not switching your picks midseries in the Oklahoma City vs Dallas and Minnesota vs Denver series, and why OKC vs DEN is still the most likely series outcome. Then, injuries have knocked out every challenger in the Eastern Conference (Miami, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Indiana, Cleveland, New York) which makes the Boston Celtics Eastern Conference Championship all but a foregone conclusion.

On today's episode, we take a deep dive into the Minnesota Timberwolves vs Denver Nuggets series, particularly the Minnesota Timberwolves reaching the series they had been building the last two years to, and were playing better than anyone could have previously anticipated for them. We discuss the Anthony Edwards offensive experiment, how strange each of the first three games in the series were, and how if Minnesota does ultimately prevail (still not a guarantee in our eyes) then it will be a validation of the process around the Rudy Gobert trade from two years ago.

On today's episode, we are back breaking down the NBA Playoffs!! After a brief discussion about the 7-game Orlando vs Cleveland series, we dive deep into the Dallas Mavericks Game 5 and 6 domination of the Los Angeles Clippers. For the second year in a row, the Clippers lost in six games in the 4-5 series with Kawhi Leonard going in and out of the series, which is pretty indicative of what this team is at this point with Kawhi as the #1.

On today's episode, the 1st Round of the NBA Playoffs delivered a stunner Tuesday Night when Tyrese Maxey made us cancel a full Podcast by carrying the 76ers back from the brink of elimination in the 4th Quarter + Overtime of Game 5 in New York City. Then, we discuss the Boston Celtics loss of Kristaps Porzingis, and why they will still get a sweep (or 5 game series win) against either Cleveland or Orlando on their way to coasting into the Eastern Conference Finals. Finally, Jamal Murray hit heroic game winners in Games 2 and 5 to break up the Lakers, and this is his 3rd postseason of heroic playoff performances for Championship-caliber teams. He's also a 0-time NBA All Star who probably deserves to be a 0-time NBA All-Star.

On today's episode, we return following an action-packed weekend of NBA basketball!! The Oklahoma City Thunder are on their way to sweeping the #8 seed Pelicans, and the Pelicans should be in the market for a star shooting guard swap this offseason... Then, we discuss the Phoenix Suns getting smoked by the Minnesota Timberwolves at the end of Devin Booker's window to being the best player on a Championship team. The conversation around the roller coaster three year run of the Phoenix Suns leads us into a conversation about their 2021 NBA Finals adversary, the Milwaukee Bucks. Both Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetoukounmpo are out, and the Indiana Pacers might be able to squeeze by them in a 1st Round upset without both being out there.

We have thoughts, prognostications and analysis on all the draft picks.... except we also spent half the show talking about the Atlanta Falcons drafting Michael Penix Jr with the #8 pick in the NFL Draft less than six weeks after signing Kirk Cousins to a $180 million contract over 4 years (HILARIOUS to even type out). We also discuss why everyone just assumed Jayden Daniels will flop in Washington, Marvin Harrison Jr to Arizona, fake enthusiasm for Offensive Lineman (looking at you, Chargers/Titans/Packers/Saints) and the Brock Bowers pick contending with the Raiders Fallacy hypothesis we have going. Plus, LIVE reactions to a handful of picks in the final part of the 1st Round (Lions finally have a competent cornerback!!!)

On today's episode, we are fixated on the Philadelphia 76ers after their crushing collapse against the New York Knicks in Game 2 Monday Night. We discuss why the 76ers might be in for a rude awakening this offseason, how incredible it's been for them to have five different #2 running mates behind Joel Embiid in six seasons, and how illogical it is that they've not even made an Eastern Conference Final by mistake at any point in the last six years, given how close they were with Jimmy Butler, Ben Simmons and Tobias Harris back in 2019. Finally, where the 76ers currently stand in the Eastern Conference landscape, why Tyrese Maxey isn't set to be the #2 leading them to an Eastern Conference Final, and what the future holds for 31 year old Embiid post-surgery on his meniscus Order our Debut Book The Spurs Dynasty: A Historical Account of the Greatest Dynasty in North American Pro Sports.

On today's episode, we break down the first week of the NBA Playoffs, beginning with the Warriors season ending without a playoff birth, and the questions posed for the Steph-Klay-Draymond trio moving forward. Will it be a breakup of these legends, or do they get to be a legacy team that retires on their own terms in coordination with the organization. Plus, Damian Lillard picked up where he left off in his last playoff game back in May 2021 in Portland with 35 1st Half Points in Game 1 vs Tyrese Haliburton's Pacers. Then, Nikola Jokic is doing every commercial you can find (and very well, might I add) while Joel Embiid throws alley-oop lobs over OG Anunoby while playing through a torn meniscus.

Last week's announcement may have come as a shock to many, but for the Oakland A's fan this was an all-to-predictable ending to a 20 year journey of bitterness and heartache with their baseball team. We discuss how we got to the A's moving to Sacramento/Las Vegas, Why the unprecedented temporary move was allowed to happen, and why the intellectual property of the sports team belongs to the fans and the cities by which their teams inhabit, and very often publicly finance for the profits of billionaires like John Fisher Order our Debut Book The Spurs Dynasty: A Historical Account of the Greatest Dynasty in North American Pro Sports.

Why it sucks Angel Reese wasn't healthy enough to keep Iowa vs LSU competitive, and why the 2nd game of USC vs UCONN sets the stage for Paige Bueckers, Juju Watkins, Madison Booker and MiLaysia Fulwiley to take the baton from Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark for Women's College Basketball. Plus, NC State is going on a miraculous run to the Final Four by surviving and advancing nine games. Just like 1983 NC State did on their way to the greatest story 10-year-old Kyle had ever seen.

On today's episode, we are breaking down the Minnesota Timberwolves, not quite an NBA Championship contender, but a team with 2nd round of the playoff expectations who currently hold the #1 seed in the Western Conference. In the midst of one of their most successful seasons in recent history, and Anthony Edwards emergence as a Top 15 NBA Player by 23 years old, they also have a giant fight between their outgoing and (possibly) incoming owners. We break down A-Rod, Marc Lore and Glen Taylor clash publicly over Wolves, Lynx ownership spat From The Athletic, and discuss why it's an undercurrent to explain why teams like the Mavericks, Pelicans, Clippers, Suns and Kings should be looking to hunt the Timberwolves as the most beatable 1st Round matchup in this year's playoffs Order our Debut Book The Spurs Dynasty: A Historical Account of the Greatest Dynasty in North American Pro Sports.

On today's episode, tonight is the rematch between Iowa and LSU from the 2023 NCAA Championship Game in College Basketball. We break down LSU vs UCLA and LSU's journey getting back to the Elite Eight. Then, we take a deep dive into the controversy over the last week around the Kim Mulkey Washington Post profile story that came out Saturday morning. How Mulkey's response drew attention to the story, and how the story highlights Mulkey's problematic past with treatment of LGBTQIA+ players, the Baylor sexual assault scandal, Brittney Griner's detainment in Russia and her treatment of her at Baylor, and the anti-vax COVID misinformation she has perpetuated over the years.

On today's episode, we are talking NBA All-Star Weekend, a made-for-TV event that keeps people engaged year after year as a means to justify Turner Sports' paying $50 million (reportedly) per year to host the event and it's 5 hours of pregame on television.

We break down Sabrina Ionescu's rise to prominence in the WNBA, and how it took the NBA nearly 20 years of trying to create ways to keep All-Star Weekend fresh to finally share the platform of the league (and Steph Curry) with the WNBA and it's Superstars Order our Debut Book The Spurs Dynasty: A Historical Account of the Greatest Dynasty in North American Pro Sports.

On today's episode, we've been here on the Take It Easy Podcast for five Super Bowl runs, and we've taken every possible angle we can on the Kansas City Dynasty during Super Bowl week. This year, we wanted to do an hour long, storytelling Podcast about the architect of Kansas City's run of dominance: Andy Reid. Why, over 25 years as an NFL Head Coach, Andy holds the title of the greatest offensive coach in NFL History. Plus, how Andy has gotten to this point with Kansas City and Philadelphia, and why I'm so excited to see what comes next for him and Mahomes in this Super Bowl. Plus, the story of Andy and his past four Super Bowl experiences, from learning about how wonderful a man he is and how many people were rooting for him in 2020, to the dark stories of his sons Garrett and Britt Reid during the 2021 Super Bowl run, and the constant questions of retirement that have popped up here in 2023 and 2024. All this and more over a wonderful, emotional hour diving deep into one of the greatest football coaches to have ever coached.

On Episode 158 of WIRED Up, we are joined by our friend Julian “Ju-Ju” Martinez (@JuJuTalksSports) from Slumpbuster Podcast – YouTube to address Bill Belichick not landing any of the eight Head Coaching jobs available this offseason. Since his plan is to take a year to do TV and return to a team willing to give him front office power, we discuss some of Belichick's options for coaching next year. What starts by discussing the Cowboys, Eagles, Jets and Giants jobs devolves into a conversation about why I feel the Buffalo Bills job would be a disastrous pairing with Bill Belichick, given where Josh Allen and that roster stands as of now Order our Debut Book The Spurs Dynasty: A Historical Account of the Greatest Dynasty in North American Pro Sports.
