The All-Star break is over, and it's time for everyone in the league to get to work and maybe get some overtime. Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are done with their own two-week break and are clocking back in to check on which teams are rising, falling, tanking, and flunking as we enter the last two months of the regular season. Are the Phoenix Suns, the most expensive roster in the NBA, already doomed by our accounts? How devastating is (or could be) for Victor Wembenyama being shut down by the Spurs after a blood clot issue? How are the Brooklyn Nets somehow winning games? Why does Riche have such a huge beef with Adam Silver after his cowardly answer about not intervening in the Luka Doncic trade? Riche and Adam also revisit their over-under win total predictions, who will win the Defensive Player of the Year award, the meaningless All-Star weekend, and more! So suit up and take it out in episode 334 with the NBA-Team!

In the fifty-fith episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator Steve Riddle welcomes Jeremy Nichols to discuss which Best TV Series Finales deserve a place on their respective lists. Is M*A*S*H* a no-brainer? What about Justified? Does Breaking Bad grab a spot? Does The Shield or WCW Monday Nitro deserve a place?
After that, they discuss which Worst TV Series Finales will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that Seinfeld shouldn’t get a spot? Will Roseanne be included? Is Lost in the conversation? What about ER or Game of Thrones?
