Podcast appearances and mentions of chet holmgren

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into NFL free agency as it kicked off today. We examine all the moves the Broncos have made so far which are mostly re-signing players from the team last season. The guys share their disappointment with the Broncos after not making any big splashes today. Why have the Broncos stayed quiet while Travis Etienne, Kenneth Walker and Tyler Allgier have already signed with other teams? Will the Broncos trade up in the first round of the draft to pick a running back like Jeremiyah Love? We preview tonight's highly anticipated matchup between the Nuggets an Thunder. Will there be any residual impact from these two teams getting chippy the last time they played each other? Will Jokic have a huge game tonight with the Thunder missing Chet Holmgren and Isiah Hartenstein? We wrap up the show with discussing what the guys learned in Denver sports today.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are no longer just a young team with potential — they are officially one of the most dominant forces in the NBA. In this Hoopsology Podcast clip, we break down what separates the Thunder from the rest of the league, from their championship mentality to the rise of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as a legitimate MVP frontrunner. OKC's internal motivation, elite chemistry, and commitment to constant improvement have allowed them to avoid the post-championship hangover that often derails young contenders. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues to lead by example, prioritizing winning over individual accolades while still putting together an MVP-level season. Meanwhile, Chet Holmgren's growth, the team's defensive identity, and their “zero-and-zero” mindset are shaping what could be the NBA's next great dynasty. We also dive into how the Thunder block out outside noise, why their culture is different from most NBA contenders, and what makes them such a nightmare matchup heading into the playoffs. If you're an NBA fan, a Thunder supporter, or just love deep basketball analysis, this clip breaks down why OKC is built to last.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Tuesday. Coming off a 2 0 best bet performance, Munaf Manji opened the February 24 2026 episode with confidence, noting the show would again focus on NBA breakdowns and MLB win totals. Dave Essler said when they win their best bets they have been smoking them and that their NBA analysis had been on point. The previous wins included a first half under in the Houston Cougars and Kansas game that cashed easily and a Victor Wembanyama rebounds and assists prop over 13 and a half, which cleared comfortably as Wembanyama finished with 17 rebounds and four assists for 21 combined. Turning to Tuesday's slate, the Knicks visited Cleveland with the Cavaliers laying four and a half and a total of 232 and a half. New York was without Miles McBride and Cleveland without Max Strus, with the Cavs trailing the Knicks by one game in the standings. Essler noted Cleveland was 19 and 11 at home against teams over 500 but the Knicks were 20 and five on the road against teams over 500, showing they elevate versus quality opponents. He called the total big for a Knicks game and emphasized that defense travels, leaning toward New York. Manji added that the Knicks ranked 11th in defensive rating and Cleveland 12th, while both were top five in offensive rating, and targeted Donovan Mitchell over 27 and a half points after games of 31 and 34 points against New York on 25 shot attempts each time. Oklahoma City traveled to Toronto as slight underdogs with a total of 216 and a half but were without Shai Gilgeous Alexander, Jalen Williams and AJ Mitchell, with Alex Caruso and Chet Holmgren questionable. Essler pointed to Oklahoma City's upcoming game in Detroit and said points would be at a premium, preferring the under and mentioning Isaiah Joe over 14 and a half points if roles expanded. Manji supported the under by noting the Thunder ranked first in defensive rating and Toronto sixth, with both teams playing at modest pace and projecting a low scoring game. In Los Angeles, the Magic faced the Lakers after the Lakers scored just 89 points in a 22 point loss to Boston. Orlando was without Franz Wagner and monitoring Jalen Suggs. Essler highlighted that the Lakers ranked 27th in defensive shooting percentage allowed and leaned to Paolo Banchero over 35 and a half points rebounds and assists given the expected usage boost. Manji agreed, noting Banchero was averaging 36 minutes per game in February and had at least six assists in three straight games, including eight in each of his last two. The discussion shifted to MLB futures with the Minnesota Twins listed at 73 and a half wins after finishing 70 and 92 with a minus 95 run differential. Concerns centered on rotation depth behind Joe Ryan and Bailey Ober and overall roster stability, leading Essler to lean under. The Oakland Athletics were set at 75 and a half wins after a 76 win season, and Essler expressed optimism based on their lineup depth and divisional outlook, backing the over. Manji agreed the division presented opportunity. For best bets, Essler selected Missouri plus three and a half at home against Tennessee, citing the Volunteers' turnover issues and Missouri's interior defense, while Manji officially backed Paolo Banchero over 35 and a half PRA to continue the week's momentum.

On today's episode of The Sporting Tribune Today, Grant Mona breaks down the Lakers' tough loss at home to the Oklahoma City Thunder and explores the growing concerns around Los Angeles' depth as the season pushes forward. Segment One — Lakers After Loss vs. Thunder Grant opens with the Lakers' postgame reaction following their 119–110 loss to the Thunder at Crypto.com Arena. Los Angeles saw its three-game winning streak snapped, and with both Luka Dončić (hamstring) and Reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdominal) sidelined, the supporting cast stepped in but ultimately came up short in the late stages. Jalen Williams returned for OKC and scored 23 points, while Chet Holmgren added a key double-double to help the Thunder pull away late. Even with LeBron James posting 22 points, 10 assists, and six rebounds, it wasn't enough to overcome execution issues down the stretch. (turn0search30) The segment includes: Lakers' player reactions and candid takes on where the performance fell apart What LeBron had to say about effort, energy, and comparing L.A. to a true championship-caliber squad How the loss impacts momentum in the Western Conference Segment Two — Depth Concerns for the Lakers In the second segment, Grant breaks down what this defeat — and the Lakers' broader season — reveals about the team's lack of depth. L.A.'s injury challenges have magnified the need for reliable backups, especially when stars like Dončić and James miss time. The Lakers' bench has struggled at times to provide consistent scoring and defensive stability, contributing to uneven performances against elite opponents. With L.A. currently sitting around 32–20 in the standings, every loss matters in a crowded Western Conference. Experts have pointed to roster construction and depth issues as critical long-term concerns for a team with championship aspirations. Produced by: Grant Mona Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

“What does Derick Lively's season-ending surgery really mean for the Mavericks—and is this the start of a bigger problem?” That's the burning question Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray tackle in today's Ben and Skin Show.The crew breaks down the shocking news that Mavs center Derrick Lively II will undergo season-ending foot surgery after playing just seven games this year. While the official line promises a full recovery by training camp, the gang isn't buying it at face value. Skin dives deep into the history of injury issues for ultra-tall players—citing Yao Ming, Chet Holmgren, and even Anthony Davis—and wonders if Lively's future is now in serious doubt.

Clemente and Hunter are here to discuss the blowout victories vs the Mavs and Jazz plus more on Chet Holmgren, the role players, and our NBA Cup brackets! Tune in!

0:00 ... Show open ... Ross introduces the panel and dedicates show #203 to Amare' Stoudemire, who was Rookie of the Year in 2003 for the Phoenix Suns. 1:04 ... The Oklahoma City Thunder are on a historically torrid pace with 20 wins in their first 21 games.  World B has some great numbers on their incredible defense.  They will be without top rebounder Isaiah Hartenstein for a couple of weeks so Chet Holmgren will need to grab some more rebounds.  The crew speculates on how long it will take for them to lose another game. 10:04 .... The Lakers are also very hot and have the third best record in the league.  Luka Doncic is now the main man in LA with aging LeBron James as his wingman, but can LeBron accept a supporting role?  And will his ego cause him to play more games than he should?  He needs to be fresh for the playoffs, but if he decides he HAS to play 65 games for personal reasons that could be an issue. 16:27 ... Austin Reaves has been spectacular to start the season, but when LeBron was not playing, he needed to step up and he did.  But with LeBron back on the floor, Reaves' numbers may suffer but not to the detriment of the team. 19:30 ... The guys each pick a western conference team they're keeping their eyes on.  Bruce picks the Spurs, World B picks the Suns, and Ross chooses the Clippers. 26:44 ... We move to the eastern conference where the Cleveland Cavaliers have struggled recently.  As talented as they are, they really miss Jarrett Allen and if he is out for a long time, the Cavs have a big problem.  Allen is not the only key player that is injured and it really has shown up in their shooting numbers. 32:57 ... The Orlando Magic have been without injured Paolo Banchero for three weeks but have continues to play well and win.  Desmond Bane has really stepped up in Paolo's absence and scored 24 points a game during the month of November.  And no team plays harder.  They still have a chance to get to 50 wins, which they have not done since the 2010-'11 season. 37:42 ... The guys each pick a eastern conference team they're keeping their eyes on.  Bruce picks the Celtics, World B picks the Hawks, and Ross chooses the Pacers 43:56 ... Ross wraps it up and says goodbye.
