Colin’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to talk all things NBA!

They start with Luka Doncic making his debut with the Lakers and why his presence has reinvigorated the team and given the Lakers offense the juice to compete in the postseason (4:15). They examine all the potential western conference teams that could create problems for the Lakers in the playoffs and why the Lakers should be able to compete with all of them (8:00).

Colin calls the Spurs the team he wouldn’t want to face in the playoffs despite having a record that wouldn’t qualify them for the play-in (12:45), and they discuss why Jimmy Butler being the “anti-Wiggins” has proven to be a perfect fit for the Warriors (14:30).

They break down why the Kyle Kuzma trade for the Bucks was a sneaky good under the radar move (21:15), and discuss why in the era of analytics, intelligence and situational awareness are underrated traits in basketball players (28:15). Jason explains why the Lakers “small-ball” lineup isn’t actually that small (32:00), and try to solve the Knicks inability to beat the Celtics (36:00). 

They discuss why all the trade deadline moves have made the league far more interesting, and why the league and owners need to be less rigid about player movement and why the Luka trade wasn’t just good for the Lakers…but for the LEAGUE (46:00).

Finally, Colin explains why the size of the supermax contract Luka was due makes trading him far less egregious (56:45).

Jason Timpf is back with another exciting episode of Hoops Tonight, taking a deep dive into the new-look Golden State Warriors led by recent trade acquisition Jimmy Butler, the former Miami Heat superstar. Jason starts off by explaining how the fresh-faced Dubs are utilizing superstar Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler’s complimentary offensive skills and wonders how this affects their short, but potentially impactful, NBA championship window. Jason salutes the Warriors front office for acquiring a second-fiddle to pair with Steph Curry, who is still playing at a championship level in the Association. After, Jason breaks down why the Milwaukee Bucks, led by former MVP and NBA champion Giannis Antetokounmpo and guard Damian Lillard, are looking competitive after trading for Kyle Kuzma from the Washington Wizards. Timpf dives into what Kuzma provides for the scrappy Milwaukee Bucks and how his commitment to playing winning basketball could be hugely impactful for the Bucks. Finally, Timpf GOES OFF on Joel Embiid’s lackluster effort as the Philadelphia 76ers continue to disappoint as a Larry O’Brien contender.

Jason Timpf returns to react to NBA superstar Luka Doncic’s first game as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. Timpf explains why LeBron James’ newest high-profile teammate immediately raises the Lake Show’s offensive ceiling, despite Jason growing concerned about L.A.’s defense with the departure of star forward Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks. Timpf breaks down all of the action in the Lakers’ dominant 132-113 victory which saw Luka Magic score 14 points in 24 minutes as he attempts to shake the rust off of a weeks-long injury. Then, Jason explains why Luka and LeBron’s pairing with lob threat Jaxson Hayes is proving to be an effective band-aid after Los Angeles failed to acquire Charlotte Hornets big man Mark Williams at the NBA trade deadline. Finally, Jason closes the show out by explaining why Luka Doncic’s impact on the Lakers could prove to be invaluable as one of the Association’s premiere franchises fights for another Larry O’Brien trophy.
