On this post-Thanksgiving edition of Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team Podcast (now exclusively on the PTBN POP feed), Adam Murray and Andrew Riche touch on a variety of topics as November comes to a close. How different was Kevin Love's 34-point first quarter vs the Blazers versus Klay Thompson's 37-point third quarter vs the Kings in 2015? Have we seen our first signs of potential upheaval of the NBA Replay System after the mishandling of the Kings/Raptors ending? Why have the Minnesota Timberwolves yet to turn the corner early on under Tom Thibodeau and how much longer could it take?

Lucha Undead: Sheet Sandwich Edition with Hugh Little
Monday Nov 28, 2016
Monday Nov 28, 2016
It's a huge episode this week, but we don't forget the little details in an interview with Hugh Little (@HughLittleSheet) from Sheet Sandwich/Talking Sheet (http://www.sheetsandwich.com). This is just fun chat as Hugh & Tim are already the best of brothers and just chop it on WC style like only they can. They invite ADLT into the circle who quickly feel the love as well. It's not just a brodeo though as Tim does ask some questions that get to issues within the website and the recent long break. They also talk on the philosophy of Sheet Sandwich and it's history both in up front and behind the scenes coverage. Hugh is a positive energy that is just infectious as he leads the episode into a mini episode of Top Beer halfway through - you might even call it a Top Beer Shot. Hugh also has a big answer for the ominous final question. So if you've ever wanted to hear the answers to some Qs from the man behind Hugh's Qs well this is the episode for you. Make sure to go check on everything on by Hugh @ Sheet Sandwich and go nominate for the 2016 Sheetys
