Customer Reviews
Love most of the shows
A lot of good content but for the love of god, Zack Harper’s banter is tedious, annoying, and adds no value to my interest in basketball.
Weird
It’s sad how far you guys go out of your way to not talk about the lakers
Not a well-informed podcast.
Followed this feed for a while and tried to sprinkle it in to my NBA listening diet but it is just so hard to get through a full episode. Really obvious that the hosts only watch a handful of west coast teams and are fully unaware about what’s happening around the league. Consistently bad regurgitation of First Take-style talking points. Like nails in a chalkboard.
