The guys are back — and this episode goes completely off the rails. What starts as Thanksgiving talk turns into a debate about U.S. geography, maps lying, and America's lack of high-speed rail… before the crew finally gets to the Magic, the Raptors, and the Eastern Conference race.In this episode of Off the Screen, Jordon, Michael, and Alejandro return with a chaotic, hilarious, and surprisingly deep conversation that wanders far beyond basketball. The trio starts by joking about how hard it's been to get all four hosts together and how life schedules, grad school, and the holidays keep throwing the lineup off. A simple Thanksgiving recap quickly spirals into a comedic debate about “white people food,” Jamaican and Haitian dishes, and the lack of good island restaurants in certain cities.Travel talk transitions into a surprisingly serious discussion of U.S. geography. The guys go off about how big Florida actually is, why people misunderstand state sizes, how map projections lie, and why driving across America feels drastically different from traveling across Europe. Naturally, this sparks a passionate rant about the U.S. lacking a modern rail system, the history behind it, and how high-speed trains could completely change American travel.Eventually, the crew pulls themselves back to basketball — starting with the Orlando Magic. Jordon breaks down attending the recent Magic vs. Bulls game, covering the crowd energy, key runs, Anthony Black's contributions, and standout performances from Franz Wagner and Desmond Bane. The guys debate how the offense shifts when Paolo Banchero is in or out of the lineup, whether Orlando plays more freely without him, and what the Magic must do moving forward to become a true contender in the East.The conversation then shifts to Toronto, where the Raptors' surprisingly balanced start becomes the focus. The crew analyzes Scottie Barnes' continued rise, RJ Barrett's driving, Brandon Ingram's fit, and Jakob Poeltl's underrated importance. They discuss the team's sustainability, how the offense collapses when Poeltl sits, and whether Toronto has enough talent to keep pace in a suddenly deep Eastern Conference.From there, the guys break down the entire East — the Knicks' consistency, the Cavs' up-and-down performances, Milwaukee's potential deadline moves, and the Heat being the Heat. They also compare the development paths of the Magic and Raptors to teams like the 2022 Celtics and the Suns, emphasizing long-term growth, chemistry, and not rushing to blow things up.The episode is packed with laughs, real hoops analysis, friendly debates, and the classic Off the Screen chaos that listeners love. Whether you're here for NBA breakdowns or to hear three friends argue about Idaho, this one has everything.⏱️ Timestamps00:00 – 02:00 | Intro, three-man lineup, schedule struggles02:00 – 07:00 | Thanksgiving talk, Jamaican/Haitian food, traveling07:00 – 12:00 | Geography rabbit hole: Florida size, maps lying, state rankings12:00 – 14:30 | U.S. infrastructure & high-speed rail rant14:30 – 17:00 | Finally… basketball.

The Pacers suffered a brutal Thanksgiving Eve loss in Toronto, falling 97–95 on a Brandon Ingram buzzer beater after clawing their way back from a massive deficit. Indiana surrendered a staggering 22–0 Raptors run spanning the second and third quarters, yet still showed real resilience by battling back to give themselves a chance in the final moments. With Nembhard, Mathurin, and Siakam struggling to find rhythm, TJ McConnell stepped up in a major way, finishing with 16 points, 6 assists, and 7 rebounds in one of his best all-around games of the season. Jay Huff continued his strong stretch, while Jarace Walker and Ben Sheppard bounced back with much-improved shooting nights. But in the end, it wasn't enough. The Pacers fall to 2–16, now holding the worst record in the NBA outright, and head into the holiday break searching for answers — and a spark as they head home for 4 straight.
