In this week's episode, we dive into the Western Conference's most troubled teams — four franchises that are far off the pace in the 2025–26 NBA season: New Orleans Pelicans, Sacramento Kings, LA Clippers, and Dallas Mavericks.New Orleans Pelicans  has stumbled out of the gate with a 2–10 start, the worst record in the West so far. Their offense ranks near the bottom of the league at just 108.8 points per game, while their defense is hemorrhaging points — allowing 121.6 per game, giving them a league-worst net rating. Sacramento Kings is also in free-fall with a 3–10 record. Their offensive rating is weak, their defensive rating even worse, and they're leaking points at a clip that's pushing them toward one of the worst starts in franchise history. Early-season projections have them on pace for a historically bad season.LA Clippers has had a rough beginning too, with only 4 wins and 10 losses so far. Their roster isn't gelling, and despite individual talent, they're failing to find consistency on both ends.Dallas Mavericks is matching the Kings with a 3–10 mark, plagued by inefficiency, defensive lapses, and a lack of cohesion. They've struggled to close out games and are having trouble defending their paint and executing late. So what's next? We ask the big question — can any of these teams right the ship? Do we believe there's enough talent, structure, or hope for improvement — or are they stuck in a long-term slump? Tune in to hear our predictions, break down possible turning points, and find out which team, if any, could emerge from this Western Conference malaise.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-baseline-nba-podcast--3677698/support.Visit: https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/CLNS and use code CLNS and get $50 in lineups.This show was sponsored in part by Raycon: Visit https://buyraycon.com/baseline for 20% off new buds!Get NBA League Pass: https://link.nba.com/LP19MG Looking to book a vacation?

Introduction: As the dust settles on the tumultuous 2025 season for St. Louis City SC, fans and analysts alike find themselves reflecting on a year filled with disappointment and missed opportunities. From high expectations to a disheartening finish, this season review delves into the highs and lows that defined the team's performance, offering insights into what went wrong and what lies ahead.Main Content:1. The Season Overview: The 2025 season for St. Louis City SC was marked by a sense of hopelessness. As the hosts of the Mecca of Banter podcast discussed, the vibe can be summed up in two words: "hopelessly lost." With a lack of direction from the management and an underwhelming roster, fans were left wondering how the team could recover. The season concluded with a disappointing record of eight wins, eight draws, and 18 losses, placing the team 13th in the Western Conference.2. Key Issues: The podcast highlighted several critical issues that contributed to the team's struggles. One major point was the leadership and direction—or lack thereof—provided by the coaching staff. The team transitioned from an interim manager to hiring Olaf Melberg, who was expected to bring defensive stability. However, the results did not match expectations, with the team leaking goals and lacking a cohesive identity. The hosts lamented the team's failure to build on the momentum from the previous season and expressed frustration with the management's decisions.3. Player Performance: Despite the overall disappointing season, there were a few bright spots. Marcel Hartle emerged as a key player, stepping up in the absence of others and proving his worth on the field. He not only displayed leadership qualities but also scored some impressive goals, raising hopes for his future contributions. Additionally, the performance of goalkeeper Berkey was noted, as he continued to be a reliable presence for the team.4. The Honeymoon Phase is Over: The hosts noted that the initial excitement and optimism surrounding St. Louis City SC have faded, with the metaphorical "honeymoon phase" coming to an abrupt end. Fans who once felt invincible after a promising first season now face the reality of a struggling team. The discussion pointed to the need for a renewed focus on building a competitive squad that can reclaim the enthusiasm of the fan base.5. Looking Ahead: As the podcast concluded, the hosts expressed cautious hope for the future. They emphasized the importance of learning from the mistakes of the 2025 season and rebuilding for the upcoming year. The need for a solid strategy in player acquisition and management was underscored, as the team must not only improve its roster but also restore the confidence of its supporters.Conclusion: The 2025 season for St. Louis City SC serves as a stark reminder of the challenges in professional sports. With a combination of poor management decisions, underwhelming player performances, and a loss of identity, the team found itself in a difficult position. However, with a clear plan and the right adjustments, there is still hope for a brighter future. Fans will be watching closely as the organization looks to rebuild and reclaim its place in the competitive landscape of Major League Soccer. Key Takeaways:- The 2025 season was marked by disappointment and a lack of direction.- Key players like Marcel Hartle showed promise despite overall team struggles.- The honeymoon phase for fans is over, highlighting the need for change.- A clear strategy for the future will be essential for rebuilding the team's competitive edge.Tags for SEO: St. Louis City SC, MLS, 2025 season review, soccer analysis, team performance, sports management, Major League Soccer, St. Louis sports, soccer podcast, fan engagement.

On this episode of “Fearless,” Jason Whitlock is joined by Paul Burkhardt and Jay Skapinac to analyze another disappointing Michael Jordan appearance on NBC. They discuss why Jordan is serving as a reminder for NBA fans of how far the league has fallen and why the NBA legend is better at selling shoes than the game of basketball. The trio also discuss Draymond Green listing the top teams he thinks are Western Conference contenders and why he omitted the Rockets and Spurs as well as how Terry Rozier was issued an $8 million tax lien from the IRS when he made $160 million. Delano Squires, T.J. Moe, and Chad Jackson join the show to discuss why Jon Stewart comparing New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani to Jackie Robinson is absurd and insulting.
