The Celtics set records with their efficiency as they smoked the Nets, 148-111, in their return to TD Garden. It was good to be back home after the long road trip and All-Star break, and Brooklyn's defense was the perfect recipe for getting the offense back on track.

Robert Horry and the crew kick off Shoot Around episode 124 with jokes and impressions before jumping into a pop quiz: the only NBA player to win a scoring title, rebounding title, blocks title, Rookie of the Year, MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, an NBA championship, and an Olympic gold medal—revealed to be David Robinson. The conversation shifts to Spurs talk, with Horry pushing back on claims that he hates San Antonio, explaining his take on why he doesn’t have Wemby as his MVP and naming his MVP as “Brown,” while still praising the Spurs, Pop, and the 2005 championship team.   They discuss the Chicago Bears potentially moving about 25 miles south to Hammond, Indiana, while likely keeping the “Chicago Bears” name, comparing it to New York teams playing in New Jersey and noting Indiana’s willingness to fund a new stadium. The group also talks about which franchises should never move, highlighting the St. Louis Cardinals and San Diego Padres, and briefly noting the Braves’ move within the Atlanta area. In NBA rules talk, they react to Paul Pierce’s idea of an LED three-point line that turns on and off during games, calling it too gimmicky and better suited to celebrity or All-Star-style events.   The episode also covers UFL rule changes, including a four-point field goal for kicks over 60 yards and banning punts once a team crosses midfield, with the hosts debating whether the NFL might adopt similar ideas and joking about how it would affect Super Bowl squares. Off the court, they break down MLB Players Association executive director Tony Clark resigning after an internal investigation revealed an improper relationship with his sister-in-law, and they react to Mad Dog Russo’s defense while debating how personal life should intersect with employment consequences. They wrap with viral oddities and childhood stories: a 92-year-old woman with Alzheimer’s climbing a seven-foot nursing home gate in 24 seconds, a 12-year-old in North Carolina driving himself to school with a fictitious plate after missing the bus, and the hosts sharing the dumbest things they did as kids—stealing church money for cookies, kicking a hole through a bedroom door, and a messy food fight that led to “double dip” punishments.   00:00 Friday Cold Open 01:25 Wild Twitter Grab Bag 01:40 NBA Trivia Stumper 03:22 Spurs Fans Clapback 05:38 Bears Moving to Indiana 07:17 Teams That Shouldn’t Move 08:43 LED Three Point Line 10:01 UFL Rule Experiments 12:14 Tony Clark Scandal 15:21 92 Year Old Gate Escape 17:11 Kid Drives To School 19:11 Cookie Money Confession 20:42 Foot Through The Door 22:29 Epic Food Fight Fallout 23:46 Double Dip Whoopings

On this episode of the Palace of Pistons Podcast, Aaron Johnson and Jasper Apollonia break down Cade Cunningham's rise into the top-three of the NBA MVP race alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nikola Jokic. Is Cade legitimately in the mix to win the award, and what would it take for him to close the gap? The guys also dive into Detroit's strong 3–1 stretch coming out of the All-Star break, including the loss to the San Antonio Spurs. Did the Spurs expose something about the Pistons, or was it just one bad matchup? And most importantly — did that game change how they view Detroit's NBA Finals ceiling?

On this episode of The Pacers Post Up, Brad and Ryan recap Indiana's 109-133 home loss to Charlotte on Feb 26 – their fifth straight defeat post-All-Star break, dropping to 15-45 on the season.Obi Toppin returned from stress fracture surgery with a warm ovation and early impact, but the defense collapsed again, allowing 130+ points for the 4th straight contest. Charlotte looked legit, extending a franchise-best 9-game road win streak to improve to 29-31. Rookie Kon Knueppel broke the NBA rookie single-season 3-point record (207th made) en route to 28 pts on 8-12 from deep, while Brandon Miller dropped 33. The Pacers' offense stalled out early with a 12 point 2nd quarter, looking disjointed and unable to stop the bleeding. The brothers discuss Obi's ramp-up, the ongoing defensive woes, Charlotte's East rise, and the tank rolling on. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Episode 249 of the Big Shot Bob Podcast opens with Brandon Harper and Rob Jenners welcoming seven-time NBA champion Robert Horry back after a week off, including Rob’s trip to Universal’s Epic Universe in Orlando where he spotted Giannis Antetokounmpo visiting with his family right after All-Star weekend. The crew talks about how stars handle public attention, why it’s tough to approach athletes when they’re with family, and the realities of getting recognized in places like airports and theme parks.   They break down the NBA’s new All-Star Game format, praising the shorter, high-intensity setup and crediting the players—especially Victor Wembanyama and Anthony Edwards—for setting a competitive tone. They also criticize the World team’s lack of energy, debate whether a 1-on-1 or 2-on-2 tournament could work, and agree the dunk contest was the worst in memory, brainstorming fixes like having personalities such as Shaq and Kenny “draft” and scout dunkers nationwide since superstars won’t risk losing.   The episode shifts to Pat Riley’s statue unveiling at Crypto.com Arena and Riley’s push for coaches (and benches) to bring back suits and ties, followed by a harsh look at the Lakers after getting blown out by the Celtics on Riley night and James Worthy’s postgame “no heart” comments. They discuss Boston’s defensive approach, the Lakers’ struggles versus top teams, and criticize the team’s effort and urgency—singling out Luka Doncic’s perceived laziness on defense—while previewing the next matchup and noting the looming impact of the 65-game awards eligibility rule on stars like Embiid and others. They also touch on Lindsay Vonn’s severe leg injuries, Michael Jordan’s NASCAR team winning the Daytona 500 and the viral celebration clip that sparked online speculation, Charles “Ko” seeking to play again via the Alabama Supreme Court, and a Barkley “New York Dicks” Inside the NBA moment.   Standings updates include the Thunder and Spurs separating in the West, Detroit leading the East, and a rough stretch for the Kings and Bulls. Big Shot of the Week goes to Team USA hockey for winning Olympic gold in overtime and honoring the late Johnny Gaudreau by bringing his young children onto the ice for the team photo. The show closes with a mascot-themed game inspired by the Olympics’ mascots, running through real vs. fake team mascots across sports, and ending on Robert Horry’s favorite mascot (Denver’s Rocky) and the story of Rocky surviving a parachuting accident.   00:00 Podcast Return 00:56 Universal Trip 01:28 Giannis Spotted 05:17 Fame And Privacy 09:38 All Star Format 13:39 Dunk Contest Rant 15:29 Fixing The Dunk Contest 20:19 Pat Riley Statue 23:16 Suits On Sidelines 28:29 Lakers Get Smoked 29:29 Celtics Win Ugly 30:36 Boston Defense Breakdown 32:17 Lakers Exposed vs Good Teams 33:37 Calling Out Lakers Laziness 36:19 Playoff Plan for Luka 37:57 Rivalry Pride and Pat Riley Night 38:30 65 Game Rule Chaos 40:08 Is It Still Tatum Team 42:08 Tatum Return and Achilles Caution 43:18 Olympics Injuries and Jordan Viral Clip 47:56 College Hoops and Barkley Audio 49:27 Standings Check and USA Hockey Tribute 54:40 Mascot Trivia Game 01:01:45 Rocky Mascot Wild Story

The Traitors S4 Finale Preview Welcome to RHAP's coverage of ALL the Traitors iterations from around the world, including New Zealand, Australia, and Canada. The Traitors US is a high-stakes reality competition set in a secluded castle, where contestants must work together to complete challenges and earn a prize pot—while rooting out the secret traitors hidden among them. The Traitors Season 4 finale is just around the corner, and Rob Cesternino, Pooya, and guest Mike Bloom dig into all the shifting alliances, metagame shake-ups, and Faithful-versus-Traitor strategies shaping this pivotal episode. With the game at a crossroads, the hosts unpack how the shifting dynamics among reality TV stars, non-gamers, and Housewives set the stage for an unexpected endgame. The discussion covers the subtle evolution of the cast, and how outsider groups reach the finale while Survivor and Big Brother veterans get picked off. Rob shares his perspective as a recent cast member, weighing in on how alliances like the "Dagger Six" and the coalition of more introverted players fly under the radar, building unique routes to the end. The group also explores how Rob Roush has navigated group loyalty, traitor recruitment, and critical late-game decisions without burning his key relationships. Highlights from their conversation include: The metagame's impact on targeting specific groups (gamers, Housewives, non-gamers) and how this shapes who reaches the finale Rob Roush's alliance maneuvering—balancing connections with both lower-profile coalitions and the larger "Dagger Six" The strategy and risks behind traitor recruitment, including why Rob picks Eric over other potential options for a final stretch partnership How Faithfuls should approach late-game votes when strong duos like Johnny and Tara could dominate the ending A lively debate comparing Rob Roush's gameplay to Cirie Fields, sizing up their disarming social strategies and influence in the castle Will Rob's partnership choices and social game secure him the win, or could Faithfuls splinter the duos before the fire of truth? Dive in as the hosts break down the possible paths to victory, weigh All-Star returnee picks, and tease what explosive reveals the reunion might hold.

We keep things moving on this Marcos Monday! The Heat are back from the All-Star break and so is Tyler Herro, the Heat are 2-0 since the break. The gang discusses Tyler Herro's impact so far, and what this team is capable of moving forward if they can stay healthy. It is the beginning of the week so you know we must step aside and let Leroy give his Game Balls and Game Bums!

It's a full-blown Marcos Monday, with the silly sauce turned all the way up. The show opens by celebrating Team USA Men's Hockey capturing Olympic gold for the first time in 46 years, before shifting to whether the Panthers are healthy enough to make a serious playoff push. The Heat conversation follows, with Tyler Herro back from the All-Star break and Miami off to a 2–0 restart, sparking talk about the team's ceiling if they can stay healthy — plus Leroy's weekly Game Balls and Game Bums. The focus then turns to the Dolphins as the combine and draft approach, breaking down the significance of picking 11th overall and revisiting past No. 11 selections, while also diving into a viral AI image of Tua that sends the rumor mill spinning. A surprise Jury Duty check-in from the ShowPoney adds to the chaos. The final hour features more off-field headlines surrounding Tyreek Hill, Marcos' “Top Five Double Dip” counting down the best Miami sports brawls ever, and the show wraps the way every Monday does — with “Alright! Oh No!” in honor of this year's Winter Olympics.
