Its called the NBA CUP not in season tournament 😅

Great episode

Big S/O to my boy Rusty for doing a much better job of not interrupting Nick. Another excellent pod as usual. Much love and appreciation to the four of you. Keep up the great work.🙏🏻

16:00 man, JB used to run that play with the Cavs. Sorry if thats a bit of a downer for ya, but hes definitely run it before.

"Guys. Win this game so I can do a tamper." -my favorite teams GM

You guys have become very good at doing this show together in my opinion. As the weeks go on I think the quality of the product increases

The one tamper idea isn’t that bad actually 💀

I have come around and now really like this new format.

the shhotaround :^)

Could be cool if the in season tournament winner gets to choose 11:40 like two of the teams in their group next year or something then we get a bit more beef and rivalry in the tournament

7:40 I hate discourse like this that acts like any team can win if they “want to”, perpetuates the notion that nba players somehow “aren’t trying”

I cant see Westbrook getting the rebounds as advantageous because Steven Addams catching the board and passing to Russ in transition is much faster than waiting for him to get the rebound and dribble the ball

48:36 if anything Giannis is injury prone or at least prone to injuries via play style

Bro named his top 6 east teams and omitted the cavs who are 13-0. Ok bro

I think once a team or player starts racking up IST wins that others will care

The jk dobbins comparison made me respect Alex so much as a football nerd but a basketball casual

Great ep

I love this podcast so much, this one was great. Cup reward: What if you were guaranteed a top 6 seed?

I remember watching this when you guys first started, and something just didn't click for me. Don't know if it's adding Nick, if it's just you guys evolving as creators and people, or some kind of chemistry thing, probably all of those things, but the pod is just so great right now. Great content all around.

there has to be a team that dominates both the tourney and win the chip to give it that prestige.

Do you guys think an In-Season Tournament MVP will ever be worth as much as or greater than a Scoring Title in terms of accomplishments? Or do you think it will always be viewed as negligible, kind of similar to All Star MVPs nowadays?

I LOVE Rudy's point about making the IST's groups into the divisions. It'll encourage better play since there'll be less travel required 👀

If Rudy doesn't tell us how he raises his child next week, we riot

A friend stated that if they wanted the In Season Tournament to be like serious. An idea was the final 3 or 2 teams getting extra wins. 1st Place gets 3 additional wins in the win column 2nd place gets 2 and 3rd (have a 3rd place match) gets one additional win or 1st gets two win and 2nd gets one win (since they have to play an additional game more than everyone else. It would impact tie breakers and seeding at the end of the year and it could totally influence some serious basketball in November/December.

37:58 are you kidding Jacob, you're a leap year kid?! Insane. Happy 6th bday for earlier this year ❤️🎉

Guys, Cam Thomas is Starbucks basketball. He scores and it looks sweet and that's what a lotta people like :) 30:42

While I don’t think the NBA Cup is going to be that significant, but it’s definitely a lot of fun. What I think would be cool though is the team that’s the first to win the nba cup, have the best regular season record, and win the championship. The nba cup by itself might not be significant but winning all three would definitely be a little more special.

My thoughts on the in season tournament are as follows: there should be a financial incentive for players, even people who make as much as NBA players do like money and want more of it. In addition, if you win it, you gain any forfeited picks in the upcoming draft, AND you can convert any number of your second round picks into one first round pick, starting with your highest pick. For example: one second rounder becomes pick 31, which will be treated as a first rounder, two seconds gets you 30, and so on. Is it balanced at all? Probably not, no, but it's fun damn it

At this point I'm not sure if Rudy's just constantly remodeling his office, or if he lives out of random AirBNBs and just brings the whiteboard with him.

"Coach who exclusively crushes in the in-season tournament" sounds like a title created for Tom Thibodeau

Nick ruined this podcast.

I have no idea what this was but it was great, conspiracy theories go brrrrrr

A shattered backboard im afraid is now impossible. The hinge of the rim has a mechanism that separates force put on the rim from the backboard. The only way you could break a backboard now would be throwing a concrete block at it.

rusty’s conspiracy theories are just facts

yo this is an amazing episode let’s get more like this

please dont ever play that stupid grizzlies song ever again

Crazy oversight during the glaze session, the grizzlies also have yuki

thank you all for asking nick for how he feels on Ron holland :D

cannot belivve rusty would move on after Norhte Korea mention, literally in the pocket of Kimmy

the conspiracy stuff is necessary to white men podcasts

hey nick, I am watching this while drunk to see it a second time

Hi rudy

Low key the best episode of the shootaround ever

I’m a big Da Silva believer

Great!! Episode guys

The tittle of these pods is great

ackchyually , MC stands for 'master of ceremonies'

gradey dick looks like a dr seuss character

Yall gotta drop a full conspiracy pod 😂
