We had a game 7, but did anyone notice ? Thanks to ESPN's decision to cover the Durant trade, the Knicks ongoing coaching search, the Dallas Cowboys, and literally anything else, a historically great season was kind of undermined. So of course Andrew and Adam discuss the durant trade, load management, the draft, oh yeah, and the championship finals.

These teams all had championship aspirations, and invested as such. However, they all fell short and now have some expensive questions to ask. Teams covered are: BOS, CLE, GSW, DEN, and MIN. NY was here as well, but they seemed to answer that question by firing their coach...which I don't think many would have guessed. Enjoy.

WE are FINALLY at the end of the road for the 2025 NBA Championship series, and all signs lead to... Oklahoma City and Indiana?! Adam Silver might be shedding tears explaining that to ESPN, but Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are more than ready to talk about X's and O's and the Jimmy's and Joe's, or in this case, the Shai's and Tyrese's and Chet's. The Finals will start fast, but will the Thunder's top-ranked defense be able to bog down the Pacer's torrid shooting this postseason? Who will guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and does Tyrese Haliburton have one more clutch play left in him for the Finals? Riche and Adam also discuss the conference finals in the previous round, small market teams finally getting the last laugh for once in the NBA, and more! So suit up and take it out with the NBA-Team!

In this batch of this season's post mortems, Andrew and Adam look at teams who are too good to be in the tanking list, too stable to be in the "best interests of the organization," but not good enough to be in the league's elites. Teams covered are:POR, SA, MIL, ORL, DET, LAC, LAL, HOU.

The NBA Draft Lottery is in...and the team who gave away one of the best players in the NBA for pennies on the dollar was rewarded with the number one pick? Hmmmm...conspiracy maybe? Well, let's get our tin foil hats on and talk about Dallas, with all their 1.8% odds, somehow possibly saving the future of their franchise? Oh yeah, Adam is also bummed about the Celtics window (seemingly) being slammed shut. Enjoy!

Andrew and Adam are back with more port mortems of teams that raced to the bottom of the standings (well, most of these teams did) in order to improve their odds for winning this year's draft lottery and getting Cooper Flagg. Some teams were tossed down here through early season injuries, and then there's just toronto, who no one knows what they're doing. Teams covered are UTA, WAS, CHA, NO, PHI, BKN, TOR. Enjoy!

In the first part of this seasons' post-mortems, Andrew and Adam look at teams who were sunk this season due to mettling from the office or ownership. From trading your franchise cornerstone to publicly calling out your star player then suspending your star player, these teams had some internal distractions. Teams covered are CHI, MIA, SAC, PHX, ATL, DAL, and MEM. Enjoy.

The craziest season in memory has finally come to an end. Trades being done that even NBA 2k wouldn't do, Coaches being fired amidst playoff hunts...and that final month of all two-way players and end of benchers. Is there anyone left who played enough games for the end of the season awards? Andrew and Adam bring the 2024-25 regular season to a close.

It is the best of times, and it is the worst of times in the NBA season. It is superlative season as the awards candidates are being discussed, tanking teams try their best (or worst) to get Cooper Flagg, and the Cavs, Thunder, and Celtics are eclipsing 60 wins in a season. But what about the middle? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are here to talk about it all! The play-in scenarios are almost locked in, but why are the Grizzlies and Suns pulling the plug after firing Taylor Jenkins and sitting Kevin Durant? Is the Pistons' aggressive nature a good way to get an edge for a squad that has never had playoff history? Why does Adam still think the Knicks cannot be considered a title contender this year? The two also discuss Giannis going on a tear, the Rockets and Wolves getting hot, LeBron, and much more! So suit up and take it out in episode 338 with the NBA-Team!
