NBA-Team: '25-'26 Conference Semi-Finals Preview

After a first round that pretty much had it all (good, bad and whatever the Orlando Magic were doing), the NBA Playoffs moves on to round two. We see a lot of usual suspects and big market teams moving on, but will the road run out of pavement quickly or will we see more wackiness like we did in the previous round? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, THE NBA-Team, are back in the lineup to discuss all four conference semi-final matchups. The Thunder and Spurs mowed down their competition in round one, but will we see a surprising challenge or two from the injury-depleted Lakers and Timberwolves, respectively? Two teams in the Eastern Conference did the rare comeback from being down 3 games to 1, but one was a surprise. Can the Philadelphia 76ers (led by Joel Embiid & Tyrese Maxey) pull off another upset against an offensively dominant New York Knicks squad? After coming back from the dead against Orlando, can the Detroit Pistons survive a much more potent scoring threat in the Cleveland Cavaliers? All this and more! So suit up and take it out in episode 390 with the NBA-Team!

PTBN's NBA-Team: The Wiz Kids Are All Right

In a special episode, THE NBA-Team (Adam Murray and Andrew Riche) live-watch the Super Bowl of tanking NBA Teams: The 2026 NBA Draft Lottery in all of its potentially conspicuous glory! While the tin-foil hat wearers like Andrew had less to discuss this year than the previous two years (when teams outside of the top ten chances won the top pick), there are quite a few fireworks. With the Washington Wizards winning their first number one overall pick since John Wall in 2010, is it time to do the Dougie again and just pick Darryn Peterson now or will they play a game of chicken with A.J. Dybantsa and the team that has coveted A.J. reportedly for years: The second overall Utah Jazz? Which teams karma-wise got punished and rewarded this year by the lottery gods (a.k.a. Adam Silver and Marc Tatum)? And will the new '3-2-1' format starting next year (which we explain) be as effective at preventing tanking as they intend for it to do so? All this and some NBA Playoff talk! So suit up and take it out with the NBA-Team!
