Carrington Harrison explains why he is OUT on the Cleveland Cavaliers with James Harden.

The East is wide open, and the West might be too. Mo Mooncey and Coach Brendan Suhr break down the biggest questions that will define the rest of this NBA season, starting with whether James Harden can finally shake his playoff reputation after a blistering 5-1 start in Cleveland. Is this the best chance he's ever had to win a ring?Then they go deep on a question nobody's really answering: can the Pistons or Spurs reach the Finals without any real playoff experience? Coach Suhr has a strong take - and Mo might have an even stronger one when it comes to Wembanyama and the Spurs' ceiling. Plus, the Jayson Tatum return conspiracy theory is building and the evidence is hard to ignore. Is it happening?They also get into why the Houston Rockets' front office has failed this season despite having months to address the point guard hole, the Charlotte Hornets' stunning emergence as a legitimate force, why the Bucks keep winning games they're supposed to be tanking, and who deserves Coach of the Year. Mo and Coach don't agree on everything - and that's what makes it worth listening to.

The hour wraps by welcoming in Producer Brandon Combs for a game of Hot or Cold, debating if Florida is currently the best value on the board to win a National Championship, and is the NFL Combine overhyped?

Love Is Blind Season 10 Episodes 7–9 deliver one of the most chaotic stretches in franchise history. From Chris initiating a 13-hour “break,” questioning his physical attraction to Jessica, and invoking CrossFit wife standards, to Alex's increasingly villain-coded behavior, we break down every catastrophic play like it's Game 7 of the Finals. Meanwhile, Victor emerges as the lone elite-tier performer in a sea of dud-level male gameplay, and Brittany's “Christ-like” evaluation of Devonte may be the wildest love-level raise we've ever seen. We analyze gaslighting, anti-chemistry strategies, producer intent, and the escalating gender gameplay gap in what may be the most rage-inducing trio of episodes the series has ever produced.Subscribe to Game of Roses: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrFYM8CvKhDvV8OLfnhvP0A/?sub_confirmation=1Patreon: https://patreon.com/gameofrosesMerch: https://gameofroses.orgListen on Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/gameofrosesListen on Spotify: http://bit.ly/spotifygameofroses Hosted on Acast.

Someone is listening to the Top Order Podcast. Binksy has been calling for more opportunity for Harry Brook - he was elevated to number three in this Super 8 clash against Pakistan and delivered a fine century as England chased down 164. It wasn't without a few nervous moments as late wickets triggered a little bit of a wobble. There are a few nitpicks and work-ons for England going forward, but Baldy and Binksy were impressed with the tactical changes and adjustments that England are making on the fly with their bowling in this tournament. If their batters can do the same the sky is the limit for England. For Pakistan they have it all to do - their encounter with Sri Lanka is a must win and they rely on New Zealand losing tonight against Sri Lanka and/or against England to end Super 8 play to have a chance of progressing. What will they need to change? Again it's the strike rate conversation with Babar Azam coming under the microscope as he walks the fine line between holding the innings together and pushing the strike rate forward. Tonight's clash between New Zealand and Sri Lanka will be a battle of two different batting groups. NZ's batters were great in the group stage while the SL batters are now under pressure. Can SL bounce back against a New Zealand attack that could be back at full strength? Will we see Ish Sodhi feature? NZ have plenty of spin options at the disposal. For SL - they need a rollicking good start against the likes of Henry and Ferguson to get them on the front foot in the power play.

Stoney and Rico started the second hour with their thoughts on Pistons-Knicks tonight. Plus, they dished on whether they think the Pistons could make or potentially win the Finals.

With the NBA back, the conversation turns into a “what counts as success?” checklist for every team in town, and the answers get blunt fast. For the Knicks, it's simple: anything short of the NBA Finals is a massive disappointment, and the window is not staying open forever. For the Yankees, the standard is even harsher: win the World Series, period, no matter who's on the other side. The Mets are trickier, with the floor rising from “make the playoffs” to “get to the Division Series,” because the quick exit versions of October do not count as progress anymore. Then the focus shifts to football, and the Giants get put under the microscope. With the offseason still unfolding, the expectations are more complicated, but the baseline is clear: competence, a winning season, and being in the mix late. The division suddenly feels more open than it did a year ago, which raises the pressure even more. And looming in the background is the Jets wild card, because one aggressive move at quarterback could instantly change the entire expectation game. A full-state-of-the-union debate on New York sports standards, pressure points, and what “successful” really means for 2026.
