We’re 2 weeks out from the Olympics so today we’re breaking down all things Olympic Basketball! The way that this version of group play works is a bit confusing and involves point differentials so we’re breaking down how it all works. We’re pretty high on the USA squad, but we’re also seeing some exciting stuff from Australia, Canada, and France. Plus, Germany has a lot to prove after winning the FIBA cup last year. We also touch base on Summer League and get into a little Hot Streak/Shooting Slump!

DeRozan got traded to the Kings so we decided to do a little California NBA special. First, we evaluate the trade and offer up a few minutes of NBA therapy for Bulls fans. Is it a good fit? James and Patrick disagree. Moving down to SoCal...what are four trades the Lakers could make to become championship favorites next season? And how do we rank the 4 Cali teams after this big move from the Kings? Stick around for a little Hot Streak/Shooting Slump!

Free Agency is wrapping up and we have lots of thoughts! The Sixers snagged PG but does it really mean anything? OKC got a huge W by snagging Hartenstein, and the Spurs are going to get some real veteran leadership in CP3. The Celtics also managed to keep their whole squad together in an underrated W. The Nuggets, Clippers, Lakers, and Bucks all did a whole lot of nothing. Stick around for Hot Streak Shooting Slump

A lot has happened since Monday so we brought our good buddy Neal back to break it down. The NBA Draft is in the books and there were definitely some winners and losers. We break down our thoughts on a few highlights, including Dalton Knecht to the Lakers, Stephon Castle to the Spurs, Rob Dillingham to the Wolves, AJ Johnson to the Bucks, Devin Carter to OKC, and more. There’s also been some Free Agency movement and trades, including Alex Caruso and Josh Giddey swapping places, and Mikal Bridges joining the other Villanova boys on The Knicks. Stick around for a little Hot Streak/Shooting Slump!

We rounded up all of the vilest, most out-of-pocket takes from NBA talking heads this season, plus a pretty gnarly crop of our own wrong takes, and now they must compete head-to-head in a March Madness style bracket. Only the worst take will survive! What was the worst take of the year? Let us know in the comments!

IT'S ALMOST DRAFTIN' TIME

James and Patrick are joined by 2HYPE producer and college basketball expert Neal Schnoor to draft their top 13 prospects in this year's NBA lottery. It's a weak year for sure, but there are still plenty of talented players to choose from, many of which will be able to help NBA teams right away. Where will UConn studs Stephon Castle and Donovan Clingan make the most impact? What about the impressive frenchmen Zaccharie Risacher and Alex Sarr? Tune in to find out! And stick around for a little Hot Streak Shooting Slump at the end!

The Finals are over just like that! We can't help but feel like these Finals were a bit lackluster, and honestly that this year's playoffs were similarly underwhelming. But we can't deny that this Celtics team is special, deserves the chip, and they'll likely be in the same position next year. What are the takeaways from this series? And who's going to be a real threat in the East next year? What was the most cringe part of the post-game ceremony? Tune in for our thoughts! And stick around for the Worst Take of the Month!

The Celtics are officially up 3-0 in the Finals and history tells us that this victory is more than likely the nail in the coffin. While Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown both put up similarly heroic numbers, we can't help but marvel at how tactically JB made it happen. The Mavs did have a late-game run fueled by great team synergy but they just couldn't take it to the finish line. Did Jason Kidd's timeout sabotage their momentum? Are Luka's defensive deficiencies the culprit? We discuss our takeaways and the rarified air that this potential sweep places this year's Celtics in. Stick around for Hot Streak/Shooting Slump!
