In Episode 748, Sean and Yasmin (@carmelohdrama) address the second in a series of pressing questions facing the Raptors as we inch towards the NBA's Orlando restart: can their half-court offense really hang against the league's best defenses in the playoffs? Sean and Yasmin begin by chatting about the return of "basketball" in the form of some bizarre scrimmages, and chat about why Marc Gasol and Pascal Siakam are of particular interest to them in the Raptors' first scrimmage on Friday against Houston. Then they take a look at how the diversity of a fully-healthy Raptors offense gives them some hope they can figure things out against good defenses in the postseason. Lastly they discuss how Kyle Lowry's smarts, and the Raptors' excellent defense, may help the cause when things slow down as well. In short, the Raptors offense is probably going to be OK.

Ben Golliver and Michael Pina open by going back to review some of the NBA's minor transactions from February and March before the shutdown. Consider this "Who he play for?" Open Floor style.

From there, they pivot to questions from the Open Floor Globe. How concerned should the NBA be about Florida's spike in coronavirus cases? Does the NBA have enough schedule flexibility to handle a wider outbreak in Orlando or would a forfeit be in order? Would the NBA consider signing up its players for vaccine trials? Is it time to bust myths like "the team with the best player always wins the series"?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Very little Union-related news has happened since the last time we recorded which means this podcast got very weird. We discuss the NBA's Orlando accommodations and see how it compares to MLS. Also since Premier League is getting "walk-up" songs for their players, AJ found songs fit for each Union player as well as some opponents. In the second half, we take part in SB Nation's theme week, video game week, and pitch our failed video games to each other and it... well it goes about how you'd expect it to go.

The NBA released their 113-page safety protocol manual in anticipation of resuming the season inside of the 'bubble' at Walt Disney World in Orlando. The document included some rather strict guidelines that players and personell entering the bubble will be forced to adhere by. The question now becomes whether or not those in attendance will actually follow these rules. Goodwill, Pavon and Petraglia discuss on the latest edition of Garden Report.

Adam Stanco & Noah Coslov go ISO with the man responsible for countless iconic NBA photos, Nat Butler. They discuss the legendary photographer's relationship with the late David Stern and what it was like working at the NBA during the early days of the Stern Era. Nat gives a fascinating behind-the-scenes look into his famous Sports Illustrated photo shoot with LeBron James when LeBron was accepting the 2009 NBA MVP trophy at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School. The future Hall of Famer also shares his experiences with Michael Jordan, including shooting Jordan's college matchup with Chris Mullin, capturing MJ showing off Air Jordan 1's on David Letterman, and turning down a valuable Jordan gift during the 1992 Dream Team run. Nat has another wild Dream Team story, as well as classic tales about Red Auerbach and Nelson Mandela. He provides insight into the NBA players who want Nat to send them their entrance photos, the detail involved in shooting an NBA game, what he avoids shooting, and the challenges he'll face while taking photos in the NBA's Orlando bubble. And he lets us know when he decides to put the camera down in his personal life so he can capture events with his own eyes. -- Follow Nat Butler on Instagram @natlyphoto -- Rejecting the Screen is part of the Locked On Podcast Network and is released on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

After last week's encouraging news for sports fans we don't have much positive to report. Kyrie Irving has come out against the NBA's Orlando return and he's not alone. It looks like the July return of basketball is less likely than it seemed just last week. But will LeBron convince everyone to come back? Baseball looks even more hopeless than the NBA with the commissioner even voicing his doubts. But there is soccer to talk about and we do that.

The plans are out. We now know where players will stay, how their health will be regulated, how they will entertain themselves, who they can bring, and how often they will eat. But how will the Miami Heat in particular handle the NBA's Orlando bubble when the season resumes? We think it will be well, and we explain why, running down a list of the NBA's best leaders, like LeBron James, Giannis and Chris Paul and where Jimmy Butler fits.  Sponsored by UBreakWheelFix.com (10% off 4 wheels with code 5ReasonsWheels) and Seltzer Mayberg law firm (OneCallLegal.com).

Kyrie Irving suggests players to skip NBA's Orlando return. He believes that the NBA’s return would provide people with a distraction from those protests. According to “Sports Illustrated”, On Friday, Nets guard Kyrie Irving reportedly led a conference call with over 80 fellow NBA players, including Chris Paul, Kevin Durant, Donovan Mitchell, Carmelo Anthony and Dwight Howard. On the call, Irving, who is expected to miss the rest of the season after undergoing shoulder surgery in February, expressed his opposition to the league's plan to resume the 2019-20 season in Orlando, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium."I don’t support going into Orlando," Irving reportedly said. "I’m not with the systematic racism and the bulls--t. Something smells a little fishy."Charania reports that Irving also said he's "willing to give up everything" for social reform.However, Lebron James doesn’t believe those things are mutually exclusive.James believes he can play basketball and affect social change all at once, Amick reports.“He wants to keep making his mark off the court. He wants to play basketball. And as has always been the case, he clearly believes he can do both at the same time.”Also in the episode, Ginny Fuchs, U.S. Olympic boxer, won't face punishment for a positive drug test after officials say she accidentally ingested banned substances through sex.According to TMZ,USADA launched an investigation after tested positive for drugs and said it was all because she was having sex her boyfriend without protection.Turns out she wasn't lying ... USADA officials say her positive sample did, in fact, come through intercourse.“I had no idea that you could get contaminated through intimate contact," Fuchs said in an interview with Fox 26's Mark Berman. "And I've just learned a lesson about this now and I want other athletes to learn from my mistake."Well, we didn’t know it’s possible but it looks like it is. So she will face no penalty for a positive drug test.All this and more - in the new exciting episode of “Bleav in sports gossip” with Simonna.Follow our host on Twitter @Simonna and Instagram @TheRealSimonnaAnd let’s stay connected!

Adam & Noah go ISO with Nuggets assistant coach John Beckett. The Eckerd College grad shares his remarkable basketball journey from a production assistant with the Inside the NBA crew and a ticket sales rep with the Atlanta Hawks all the way up to his time as an assistant coach in the NBA. He provides rare insight into this current Nuggets team with a fascinating perspective on Michael Porter Jr., Nikola Jokic, and Jamal Murray. He tells remarkable stories about how he once paid for an open tryout with the same team he's coaching now and how he dealt with angry Hawks fans who wanted their money back when he was working in their ticket sales department. He details his experience as a coach with the Delaware 87ers, having to actually "try out" to become their coach, struggling emotionally when he had the job, and a crazy tale about the worst travel day he ever had in the G League. He details all of the challenges associated with playing games in the NBA's Orlando bubble, including how to work guys out with the current restrictions, how to prepare for the unique nature of the games, and how to balance family life while being quarantined. He also discusses what Charles Barkley is really like behind the scenes, how he never even dreamed of becoming a pro coach, navigating the politics of the NBA, what goes into being a video coordinator, and how player development coaches are being undervalued in the current NBA landscape. -- Rejecting the Screen is part of the Locked On Podcast Network and is released on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Justin and Kevin are back to talk about the NBA's Orlando bubble being OFFICIALLY approved! They talk about the one team that voted against it... The Portland Trailblazers. They debate who they would like to see face off in a tournament between the 8th and 9th seed. they also debate who would have the best chance of getting a game from the LA Lakers. Then the guys then jump into what it means for the NBA season next year... will it be too quick of a turnaround? will players be ok with the shorter time off? hear all this plus Ballin & Fallin and Hot Takes from Reddit!

Keith Smith of Yahoo! Sports may have willed it into existence. He wrote a month ago that the NBA should consider Orlando's Wide World of Sports as a site for its 2019-20 season return. Now that site appears to be the frontrunner.  Ethan Skolnick and Alex Toledo speak to Smith about all the developments.  How would it work? Who would compete? How would they stay safe? What will it mean for the salary cap, and players like Giannis, Anthony Davis, Blake Griffin, John Wall, Chris Paul and more?
