Zach Bye and Phillip Lindsay are in the studio to break down the Broncos Christmas day win on a Budlight football Friday!  Zach and Phil join Josh and Cecil for some cross talk! The Denver Nuggets took care of a very strong Minnesota team missing three starters. What were their takeaways and is there a ceiling for Jokic? How was the fellas Christamas Day? Bo Nix made NFL history with their win last night, what was it and does it add to the myth of Bo Nix? There is one area of the Denver Broncos that has started to raise some concerns.

Which players are they and can they find their groove back before the playoff starts?  

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Zach Bye and Phillip Lindsay are in the studio to break down the Broncos Christmas day win on a Budlight football Friday! Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets put on a show as the NBA Christmas nightcap. What did Jokic do to add to his long list of NBA records? Are we watching one of the greatest basketball players of all time in our own backyard? How do we feel about the Broncos scraping out a win against a short handed Kansas City team? What do we make of the run game as we approach the Broncos superbowl push? We are joined by Superbowl 50 champion Brandon Marshal and get his thoughts on the win, the defenses struggles, and if this team can still win the big one at the end of it all.  

The Denver Nuggets need MVP Jokic over the next 7 games on their biggest road trip of the season. Jokic needs to carry this team in a way we haven't seen since the season Jamal and Porter were out. Also Jeff talks about the Broncos victory over the Chiefs and how Payton needs to let loose a little bit in the last game against the Chargers. Enjoy the show!

O grande bicho papão da NBA na temporada perdeu apenas 5 partidas. 3 para o mesmo time. O San Antonio Spurs parece ter encontrado a formula para parar o atual campeão da NBA, o OKC. Seja com Wemby em quadra ou sem Wemby, o Spurs parece não ter problemas para impor seu estilo de jogo e manter os principais jogadores do Thunder sob controle. Mas antes da rodada de Natal da NBA, precisamos começar com uma notícia triste. Morreu esta semana o grande Claudio Mortari, aos 77 anos. Técnico do Sírio campeão mundial, treinou diversos clubes e também a seleção brasileira. Extremamente importante no desenvolvimento da categoria no Brasil teve seu último trabalho no São Paulo, onde foi campeão paulista em 2021. Infelizmente esta não foi a única notícia ruim no basquete nacional. A PF esta investigando uma grande possibilidade de manipulação de resultados na categoria. O primeiro jogo que chamou atenção pelo volume de apostas em algo estranho foi o jogo entre Santo André contra o Sodiê Mesquita ainda em abril pela LBF. No meio do jogo chegaram muitas apostas em uma vitória do Mesquita sobre o Santo André por mais de 13,5 pontos. O jogo estava equilibrado e com distancia pequena quando estas apostas chegaram. Surgiram depois apontamentos para jogos do Botofogo e Rio Claro na NBB, o que gerou desligamentos de jogadores, equipe técnica, patrocinadores e parceiros. É uma mancha que abre em cima de uma categoria que vinha buscando se equilibrar. Ao abrir espaço para as bets, esta é apenas uma das mazelas que podem acompanhar. Se isso já não fosse complicado o suficiente, esta semana também tivemos o anúncio de que o Blumenau, clube que vinha disputado a LBF já havia 9 anos, não irá disputar a competição no ano que vem por problemas financeiros. Se a LBF 2025 havia sido a maior nos últimos anos em números de equipes, já não teremos Blumenau e quase certamente o Corinthians. Perde a categoria, perde o desenvolvimento, perde o esporte nacional. É um cenário de muita incerteza o que cria ainda mais dificuldade para o desenvolvimento não só da categoria, como dos atletas. Mas não foi só de noticia ruim o episódio não. Afinal, episódio de natal tem de ter algum presente. E teve no jogaço entre Minas e Flamengo, no poderoso Pinheiros do Gustavinho, que emendou duas vitórias centenárias e até na segunda vitória do Vascão. Teve presente também para a nossa Kamilla Cardoso, que levou o prêmio de jogadora da temporada do Chicago Sky. Teve também entrega de chocolate do Maccabi em cima do Partizan. E claro, tivemos a rodada de natal, com vitória do GSW em cima do Mavs, que ainda teve mais uma contusão do Davis para cuidar. Vitória também do Knicks num jogo de um terrível apagão do Cavs, o que será que está acontecendo em Cleveland? E ainda um Jokic de papai noel, distribuindo presentes e fazendo o primeiro 56-16-15. Um monstro. Mas claro, o principal da rodada foi a vitória contundente do Spurs em cima do OKC. Se não tivesse o Nuggets no Oeste, eu poderia apostar que esta seria a grande rivalidade destes próximos anos. Como pode o San Antonio controlar tão bem o jogo de Oklahoma? Dois dias depois de vencer por 20 pontos, eles fizeram de novo, desta vez por 15. Da para se empolgar com a série dos playoffs entre os dois. Este ep saiu quase no tamanho certinho para você escutar enquanto se recupera da ceia de natal e se prepara para o ano novo. Então não perde tempo, aperte o play e vem com a gente.

Andy Bailey of Bleacher Report joins the guys to discuss Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets. What message did Jokic send to the NBA last night? Can the Nuggets make a championship run? Plus, did the Broncos defense rebound last night after the poor showing vs. Jacksonville? And more on Bo Nix's play, including using his legs more to pick up first downs. 

0:00 - Vic, Moser, and Mat Smith are back to talk Broncos as they beat the Chiefs 20-13 on Christmas night. Mat is cool with the win, so is Vic, Moser....is less enthusiastic about it. Should fans care more about the process or the results on this one? 20:22 - Meanwhile, the Nuggets and Timberwolves stayed up late last night playing one of the best games of the year as the Nuggets win 142-138 in OT. Jokic had a 56 point triple double in that game, which begs the question...is that the single greatest Christmas Day performance in league history?36:17 - The win was good, wins are always good, but Vic and Mose can't help but be a little bit concerned about the Broncos performing the way they did on Thursday night vs the Chiefs. Is it just another mid-week football game hiccup? Or is it an ill omen for the playoffs?

0:00 - Vic and Mose are BLINDSIGHTED by Mat Smith as Smith tells 'em Jokic was lowballed last night by one Charles Barkley at half time...in the middle of a game where Jokic put up 56 and a triple double. When will the disrespect end???14:09 - The gang discusses the finer points of Broncos/Chiefs and how the Broncos were able to gut out a win on the margins. They also learn something about Bo Nix that they had never heard before.32:21 - Mat comes back with RECIEPTS on Charles Barkley not putting Jokic in the same category as Shaq, Wilt, Hakeem, the Mt. Rushmore of Big Men. Is Jokic already standing head and shoulders above them? What's it gonna take for fans to accept that notion?

Parecía imposible ganar un partido a estos Oklahoma City Thunder. Quién podía pensar en ganarles dos a Shai, Chet, Jalen y compañía. Pero en qué cabeza entra que exista un equipo capaz de arrebatarles tres victorias a este equipo de rango dinástico, defensa histórica y hambre inagotable. Pues... vaya, aquí están los San Antonio Spurs de Wembanyama, Castle, Fox, Harper, y la lista sigue y sigue hasta una profundidad casi inaudita. Vaya día de Navidad nos ha regalado la NBA. Otra hazaña para los texanos, esta con especial morbo y complicación: la de ganar tres partidos seguidos, de tú a tú y con toda Oklahoma volcada en el pabellón de los Thunder para crear un ambiente de Playoffs que se fue diluyendo ante el maravilloso baloncesto desplegado por los de Mitch Johnson. Por si fuera poco, el Madison vivió una remontada que aumenta la esperanza de New York Knicks; los Warriors respiran en casa ante la venida de Cooper Flagg y Klay; los Lakers no tienen aliento ni fuerzas para aguantar el tipo a unos Houston Rockets muy normalitos; y... Jokic, ay, Nikola Jokic. Barbaridad del serbio para finalizar esta jornada tan especial con un partido memorable entre Denver Nuggets y Minnesota Timberwolves, una rivalidad cada vez más pronunciada, aunque por ahora el galardón de ser el enfrentamiento más apetecible pertenezca al vigente campeón y al aspirante con menos complejos y más diamantes en bruto.

*Recorded on December 23rd, 2025* Does the NBA own Christmas Day? — We're breaking down every single matchup. In this episode of In the Lab on Hoopsology, Justin Goodrum, Matt Thomas, and Alan Muenzler preview the entire NBA Christmas Day slate, rank the games, and discuss the biggest storylines heading into the holiday showcase. We dive into LeBron James' comments about playing on Christmas, the human side of NBA superstars, and whether Christmas Day games still make sense in a world where the NFL continues to expand its holiday footprint. This episode covers: Spurs vs Thunder: Wembanyama vs SGA in the marquee matchup Nuggets vs Timberwolves: Jokic vs Anthony Edwards rivalry Lakers vs Rockets: Luka, LeBron, and Houston's rising core Cavaliers vs Knicks: Pressure mounting in the East Mavericks vs Warriors: Steph Curry, Draymond drama, and team futures We also debate: Which Christmas Day game is the must-watch Which teams are legit contenders vs fool's gold The future of NBA Christmas games and ratings How young stars are reshaping the league

Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray carried the Nuggets in stretches while the Nuggets battled back from a 21 point deficit. Tim Hardaway Jr. went SCORCHED EARTH in the 3rd Quarter to keep the Nuggets close. Despite Cooper Flagg and AD going off for Dallas, Denver had a chance late but Jokic passed up a pretty good layup for a great P-Wat three that fail short. Jason Kosmicki had the call of this one. 

Feliz Natal

Former NBA All-Star Dana Barros joins Combo's Court to break down why scoring has become easier than ever in today's NBA — and what's been lost along the way.

He explains why international players are dominating MVP races, how stars like Allen Iverson, Steph Curry, and James Harden changed scoring culture, and why feel for the game matters more than ever. The conversation also covers Jokic in the '90s, Kobe vs. LeBron, underrated scorers, and what today's players must relearn to truly master the game. USE CODE COMBO ON PRIZEPICKS!

Nate and Danny dig into a Western Conference mailbag for the Grizzlies, Wolves, Pelicans, Thunder, Suns, and Blazers, focusing on young bigs, long-term team-building, and how to survive in an OKC/Wemby/Jokic world.Memphis Grizzlies — 0:15What has Zach Edey's overall impact been so far, and why hasn't his strong play gotten more discussion?Given that most of Memphis' wins with Edey back came against sub-.500 teams, what's actually real and what projects beyond this season?Why are Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. “bad all of a sudden”—how much of it is attitude, effort, health, or role?Minnesota Timberwolves — 12:00If Tim Connelly decides to make a significant move, what sort of framework should he pursue—selling high on Julius Randle, moving Rudy Gobert to lower long-term risk while raising ceiling, or something else entirely?Who is a realistic trade target for Minnesota at point guard who can shoot, defend enough, and still let Anthony Edwards be the primary creator?What is Rob Dillingham's trade value right now—does he bring back even a late first?Why did the Wolves let Nickiel Alexander-Walker go—could they really not find a way to keep him or other options?How good is the offensive chemistry between Gobert and Randle actually—are they meaningfully helping each other?New Orleans Pelicans — 26:23Do Derik Queen's flaws—lack of true center size and questionable mobility—ultimately cap his long-term ceiling, or can his creation ability and defensive hands make those weaknesses not matter as much?If you're the Pelicans, what kind of offers would you need to seriously consider moving each of Jose Alvarado, Zion Williamson, Sadiq Bey, Herb Jones, and Trey Murphy III?Oklahoma City Thunder — 36:57Is OKC the deepest team of all time when fully healthy, given their bench of Kason Caruso, Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins, AJ Mitchell, Kenrich Williams, J-Will, etc.?Which Western Conference teams, if any, would intentionally punt games against the Clippers late in the season to worsen the pick OKC owns from LA?What is AJ Mitchell doing defensively that makes him so effective?How many All-Stars should the Thunder have this season?If Shai Gilgeous-Alexander were to get hurt in the playoffs, how good would OKC's offense remain—could they still realistically win a series or two?Which Western Conference teams have the best chance of beating OKC in a playoff series, and how would you rank the Rockets, Spurs, and Nuggets as threats?Phoenix Suns — 47:45Given the Suns' surprising competence plus the fact they don't control their own firsts, has your view changed on how they should operate over the next 2–3 years?If you were running the Suns and received a strong offer for Devin Booker, would you trade him?With the Suns hovering around the 6-seed race, could they be sneaky buyers at the deadline—and if so, what position or role should they target given their current roster and Jalen Green's fit?Portland Trail Blazers — 53:05Is Portland's rebuild a failure—especially considering taking Scoot over Amen, choosing Klingan over Edey, trading out of the Cedric Coward spot for Hansen, and the current returns on Shaedon Sharpe?With OKC, Wembanyama's Spurs, and Jokic's Nuggets (plus Houston) as massive obstacles, how should the other Western teams approach big-picture strategy, timelines, and the pursuit of relevance?Have any of Sharpe, Toumani Camara, and Donovan Clingan actually improved from last year, or is it fair to say none of them have taken a real step forward?

Send us a textThis one feels like a group chat that got mic'd up and told the truth. We start where the timeline went wild—Kodak's rant—and push past outrage into responsibility: who gets to shape the narrative when influence outruns insight? That thread leads into confidence myths (no, Adderall doesn't manufacture talent), early-career Kanye's grit, and how labels quietly ration oxygen through budgets, beats, and features. We call out the culture's obsession with entertaining liars, then lay out a simple code for friends: ask, disclose, and be honest before “the game is the game” blows up your circle.Football takes the wheel midstream. The Falcons show real pride despite 19 flags, and we dig into what spoiler wins do for a locker room. The Vikings' 34 points without feeding Justin Jefferson becomes a lesson in scheme vs superstar. Joe Burrow's situation gets a compassionate look—injuries, organizational strain, and what it means when your “happy place” isn't healing. Then we zoom out to the Chiefs: a timeline since Eric Bieniemy left, Kelsey's drops, and the price of living in the margins. We own a Jokic take that aged badly and use it to explore the modern scoring era, role player usage, and why Kobe-in-2025 hypotheticals demand context. Dirk's quiet greatness, Lamar Odom's perfect modern fit, and late-game lineup choices (hello, Gobert) round out a sharp NBA segment.We close with a clip from Rep. Jasmine Crockett and draw a line: history and dignity matter, but so does respecting honest work and immigrant contributions without cliché. Then it's pick time: bowl games, CFP angles, and an NFL slate built on weather, injuries, and matchups over vibes. If you're into sports, music, and culture with receipts and zero pandering, this one's for you.

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil are joined by veteran NFL reporter James Palmer to discuss if Bo Nix can find himself in the MVP race if the Broncos win out, if the Chiefs dynasty is ending as the Broncos open up their Super Bowl window, and much more. Does Sean Payton need to start being more vocal about the unfair officiating of Riley Moss and his defensive pass interference calls? Phil explains why Moss is having an underrated and breakout season. Did Sunday serve as a reminder for how great Courtland Sutton is and how he can be a legitimate number one receiver? Is Sutton already a top 5 receiver in Broncos history and is he on his way of becoming a Ring of Famer? The guys react to the Nuggets gritty win over the Rockets last night as Jokic fouled out of the game and Peyton Watson was injured early in the game. 

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross talking with Dover and Cecil. The guys discuss the NBA midseason tournament and the rivalry bubbling between the Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs. Where do the Nuggets fit into the NBA landscape with these two young NBA teams? Does Sean Payton need to start being more vocal about the unfair officiating of Riley Moss and his defensive pass interference calls? Is Riley Moss having an underrated breakout season? Did Sunday serve as a reminder for how great Courtland Sutton is and how he can be a legitimate number one receiver? Is Sutton already a top 5 receiver in Broncos history and is he on his way of becoming a Ring of Famer? The guys react to the Nuggets gritty win over the Rockets last night as Jokic fouled out of the game and Peyton Watson was injured early in the game. 

0:00 - And to all a good night! I hope everyone enjoyed Jokmas yesterday. The Nuggets held off the Rockets in a OT thriller at Ball Arena. But funny enough, Jokic wasn't the guy who made the clutch plays in the final moments to seal the win. It was...Spencer Jones?17:55 - Moser needs green noise to sleep. Not white noise. Green noise?After that, Sean Payton addressed the media in his weekly zoom presser. He was asked about how the team managed 3rd downs better in the Packers game. For the most part, they avoided 3rd and long all game. How is the offense developing as the season unfolds?34:37 - The Steelers beat the Dolphins in Pittsburgh on Monday Night Football yesterday. Are the Steelers for real? Or are they headed for another 9-7 playoff berth followed by a Wild Card round loss? The annual tradition.After that, Patrick Mahomes underwent surgery to repair his ACL. When he returns, will the Chiefs still be the same juggernaut? Can they pick up where they left off without skipping a beat?

0:00 - December 15th is "Jokmas" for all Nuggets fans. But don't tell that to Jokic. He's not a fan of the holiday. 16:35 - Moser says there's officially a new Public Enemy #1 in town.After that, looking at the NFL Playoff Picture...which teams are Contenders, and which teams are Pretenders?33:35 - Let's sort through the remaining Contenders and Pretenders.

0:00 - What are Broncos' goals at this point in the season? You ask different people, you'll get different answers. Sean Payton had to set the record straight yesterday. 16:44 - What are some of the best soundbites from around the vast world of sports? Let's CHOP IT UP!33:20 - Rockets big man Alperen Şengün said he doesn't get the calls Jokic gets in a game. But it makes sense. Jokic had to work to get there. Really Alpie? You wanna talk about Jokic getting the benefit of the whistle? That's the guy you wanna bring up Alpie?

Jonathan Macri of Knicks Film School joins Combo's Court for a wide-ranging conversation about the New York Knicks' championship chances, the upcoming NBA Cup final, and the current state of the NBA. Jonathan breaks down why Jalen Brunson means so much to the Knicks and Grades Kat's season thus far. The conversation expands into bigger league questions — who should be untouchable in a Giannis trade, how Victor Wembanyama fits into NBA history, whether Jokic belongs in the GOAT conversation, and why every generation of basketball players keeps getting better. They also dive into coaching adjustments under Mike Brown, Josh Hart's impact, the evolving style of play, officiating debates, and whether the Knicks truly have a championship ceiling this season!
