BALL DON’T LIE 2.0 is back for its second season. Yahoo Sports’ lauded NBA blog is resurrected in podcast form, with four episodes a week through the NBA season.
Vincent Goodwill hosts GOOD WORD WITH GOODWILL on Mondays and Wednesdays, chatting with his friends from around the league to deliver spicy takes on the NBA’s most interesting storylines.
Dan Devine drops in Tuesdays with DEVINE INTERVENTION, the world's first self-help podcast about basketball. Why talk about just the NBA when you could talk about the NBA and your innermost secrets and fears?
Jake Fischer & Dan Devine bring things home on Thursdays with NO CAP ROOM: a chat show about NBA vibes, two friends from Brooklyn and the latest front-office whispers Jake is hearing from around the league.
Does the return of LeBron James make the Los Angeles Lakers a legitimate title contender? Maybe, but no team is quite as volatile as the Lakers when it comes to their ceiling and floor heading into the postseason. Well, maybe the Minnesota Timberwolves, but Vince has a hot take on where they might be headed this year.
Are the Suns deep enough once Kevin Durant returns? Probably not. The guys spend some time discussing who would be Phoenix’s 7th or 8th rotation guy in the postseason and if Suns coach Monty Williams even knows what his playoff lineups will look like.
Before the break, the guys discuss the early part of Zion Williamson’s career and compare it to Joel Embiid. What does the future hold for the Pelicans superstar? Will he ever be able to stay healthy? What is his value on the trade market?
Speaking of the trade market, the Dallas Mavericks were viewed as a title contender after trading for Kyrie Irving. Now, they’ll be lucky to make it into the playoffs. It’s a disaster years in the making and both Vince and Howard think they know who is to blame.
Finally, these two media members talk about the role of media in voting for NBA awards and how it has made relationship-building with players that much more difficult.
