Regardless of whether it's the FBI, MSG, MVP's, or the YMCA, basketball are bouncing again and the ball has been tipped for the 2025-26 NBA season! And while NBA fans deal with new normals at ESPN, NBC, and Amazon Prime, the same five guys are dominating the league and the two longest-running NBA podcasters of all time, Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, are here to catch you up on an eventful first week. Has Luka Doncic become so great as the go-to guy for the Lakers that LeBron (shudder) will sit out the whole season?! Is it possible that SGA will take even MORE free throws than he did last year? Does the Most Improved Player in the league... play for the Wizards?! Riche and Adam also discuss the Rockets' going quadruple big, the betting scandal involving Chauncey Billups and Terry Rozier, predictions redux and more! So suit up and take it out in episode 363 with the NBA-Team!

With the season here, it is time for Andrew and Adam to lock in their postseason predictions and regular season over/unders....well, Adam is here to lock in their predictions in a solo episode, so apologies in advance for this solo next man up outing. Will OKC waltz into the finals like last year (maybe?) will LeBron be able to get enough games in for All NBA Honors (doubtful?) and will we all continue to believe Brooklyn Utah and Washinton will all be sub-20 win teams (probably.) Enjoy!

The guys also talk about LeBron's realistic options after opting in to his final year of his deal with the Lakers, the Bucks sabotaging the Pacers, draft day surprises, the Knicks hiring Mike Brown, and more. So suit up and take it out in episode 351 with the NBA-Team!

So of course Andrew and Adam discuss the durant trade, load management, the draft, oh yeah, and the championship finals.
