Talking About Practice

Tim Donahue of 8 Points, 9 Seconds talks Pacers on this latest episode. The holidays and this compressed NBA schedule wreaked havoc with plans to get more podcasts up, but here is the latest. It’s all Pacers all the time so be advised if you’re looking for leaguewide talk. And follow Tim on Twitter. You […]

Zach Lowe of Sports Illustrated’s hoops blog The Point Forward stopped by to talk about Chris Paul and David Stern. Of course, this is the NBA story of the offseason, so we dug into the conspiracy theories and other possible explanations for why the commissioner of the league opted to veto the three-team trade that would […]

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, I did an NBA podcast. Life got busier, this became seldom updated and I gave up trying to keep it going, however. Fast forward about 18 months and it is now back. David West was signed to a two-year, $20 million deal by the Pacers […]

Zach Harper of TalkHoops, Cowbell Kingdom and Hardwood Paroxysm stops by to talk about the Conference Finals-es (Finalsi?) and the Draft Lottery. We chastise punctuation, talk about Lucille 2 and compare one NBA superstar to Dolly Parton. Enjoy. And please be sure to subscribe to Talking About Practice on iTunes, where ratings and reviews are […]

Rob Mahoney of The Two Man Game, NBC ProBasketballTalk and Hardwood Paroxysm joins me to talk about the Dallas Mavericks’ season that was (more like wasn’t, amirite?) and the future of the franchise. This is the first in a “Playoff Post-Mortem” series of podcast episodes that will be debuting over the next week or so […]

Tom Ziller of NBA FanHouse and Sactown Royalty and John Karalis of Red’s Army stop by to talk about the puzzling Game 5 performance by LeBron James in the Cavs/Celtics series as well as prognosticate on what we will see tonight during Game 6. Ziller is on for the first half hour and also drops […]

Kelly Dwyer of Ball Don’t Lie stops by to preview the Playoffs and wrap up the Regular Season. I know what you’re thinking, and I thought the same thing: That’s so Raven. It is indeed. Very ravenous. As expected, Kelly brings the goods, dropping 50 minutes of funk while discussing the color of his couch, […]

Kyle Weidie of Truth About It talks about Gilbert Arenas and the Wizards in this episode … that should have been up online like five days ago since we recorded last Sunday. Unfortunately, I’m pretty dumb and I messed up the recording during the second half of our conversation. Since Kyle had a lot of […]

Larry Coon of the world-famous CBAFAQ, the New York Times’ Off the Dribble Blog and Hoops World stops by to talk about how the trade deadline changed the Summer 2010 free agency landscape, the next Collective Bargaining Agreement and the potential of a lockout. Larry has spoken to NBA Players Association President Derek Fisher on […]

Matt Moore of Hardwood Paroxysm, NBA FanHouse and ProBasketballTalk stops by to talk about his time in Dallas for All-Star Weekend, debate the Jazz as contenders, break down the Mavs trade and answer the dreaded Ten Questions. We ran long on this one so I didn’t bother with any major intro to explain the long […]

Lang Whitaker of SLAM joins me to talk about the Hawks, Allen Iverson, Chicago, Sacramento, New York and life at the SLAM Dome. As far as a breakdown goes, it’s probably 1/3 ATL, 1/3 SLAM and 1/3 everything else. Plan your listening accordingly. Then check out some of his work over at SLAM Online and […]

Kevin Arnovitz of ESPN’s TrueHoop and ClipperBlog talks Western Conference NBA with us today for the long-awaited Talking About Practice: Episode 4. Kevin just saw his Clippers get smacked around by the Rockets on Wednesday night, so we start with Houston and that inevitably leads into some talk about efficiency and advanced stats. But we […]

Chris Ballard, Sports Illustrated columnist and author of The Art of a Beautiful Game, was gracious enough to give me an hour of his time the other day for an interview. And since I’m such a smart guy, I decided to record the conversation. Thus, below, for your listening pleasure, is “Episode 3: The One […]

John Karalis of Reds Army stops by to talk Celtics. We get pretty in depth about Rajon Rondo (and reference this lenghty Boston Globe article on him that, in part, details his love for Connect Four), discuss Sheldon Williams vs. Big Baby, chat about the defense and mention some of the more typical Big Three/Sheed […]

This is my NBA podcast. There are many like it, but this one is mine. Yeah, I know everyone and their mom has a podcast these days, but I’ve been wanting to do one for a while, so here it is. Honestly, between keeping up with BTPH, covering the Pacers at 8p9s and chiming in […]
