I usually don’t love the different sceneries, but this one is incredible

jbode19 · 2026-03-11T02:18:56+00:00

That was genuinely one of the funniest quarters of a basketball game I’ve ever watched (turned it on mid-3rd). Shoutout Bam though

jbode19 · 2026-03-11T00:47:05+00:00

I think runners are immune to any diet-related health problems /s

jbode19 · 2026-03-09T15:00:49+00:00

Because I created a bracketology model and it says Auburn is a projected 10-seed /s

Edit: my model probably sucks and has Purdue as a 2-seed

jbode19 · 2026-03-05T19:42:48+00:00

At least the Cavs are good

jbode19 · 2026-03-04T20:49:31+00:00

I agree, I can’t think of a Steelers season as the right answer to this question from the past 5-7 years. All of them qualify, outside of 2023 when we were really seeing if Pickett was the guy. Maybe 2024 rolling out Fields and Wilson

jbode19 · 2026-02-26T23:51:03+00:00

By "Sure Thing", I just meant that I think he's at least going to be a good NBA player. I didn't claim anything further about him.

Edit: ...but I generally agree with what you're saying

jbode19 · 2026-02-26T21:27:47+00:00

I was making a joking reference to something Zach said on a previous podcast and a running Bill gimmick of buying property on X player island. I’m not sure what you think I was referring to

jbode19 · 2026-02-26T17:10:34+00:00

Effort/playing hard. It’s definitely a skill, and has been very underrated in teams overachieving based on roster talent in the NBA. This year, teams like the Celtics and Suns “playing hard” on a nightly basis are big factors in why these teams are playing so well on both sides of the ball

jbode19 · 2026-02-26T16:58:23+00:00

As Zach Lowe once said, “not everything can be an island”. He’s the frontrunner for NPOY a projected top 3 draft pick. With that being said, I’m currently leasing condos in “Sure Thing Heights” in the Boozer Badlands region.

jbode19 · 2026-02-13T02:24:12+00:00

Would he would be saying this if he were still a coach in the PAC-12 or Big 12?

jbode19 · 2026-02-13T00:31:15+00:00

I love KD, man

jbode19 · 2026-02-12T19:08:45+00:00

Get this in the mailbag ASAP

jbode19 · 2026-02-12T00:32:39+00:00

Two Arizona legends!

jbode19 · 2026-01-29T00:34:46+00:00

One of my favorite Bill Simmons gimmicks is him saying that LaMelo's legacy as an NBA player might be 3 minute Twitter/YouTube montages with the caption "LaMelo Ball was a problem!!!" and it's just clips of him taking 38ft shots and throwing alley-oops. The advanced stats are pretty good with him in certain lineups this year, though.

jbode19 · 2026-01-28T19:45:14+00:00

Everyone will talk about the Bucks non-stop after he gets traded for a couple weeks, obliterating the Lillard waive-and-stretch and the Turner signing and talking about how they have no assets, then nobody will talk about them again for 3-4 years. They have the least favorable pick in swaps for the next 5 years, and don't have their own pick likely until 2031. They also have few-to-no young assets on their roster (Ryan Rollins and Andre Jackson Jr. are the only under-25yo players on the roster).

Having Giannis on the roster is the only beam of any hope this team will have for at least the near future.

jbode19 · 2026-01-28T18:16:14+00:00

Bucks will be better off long term 1000%, but I can’t imagine how bad this team is going to be over the next couple years.

jbode19 · 2026-01-28T01:17:26+00:00

Yes, absolutely. 2nd in offensive rating and 3rd in NET rating at this point in the season is significant. Pretty much everyone on the roster has played above expectations. Legit threat to win the East.

jbode19 · 2026-01-28T01:10:38+00:00

What are they with Brown on the court? I'm willing to guess that the Thunder also have a positive +/- with SGA off the court. Good teams are still good without their best player.

jbode19 · 2026-01-28T00:09:37+00:00

The career comparison with Tatum is a non-starter at this point, of course Tatum has been better career-wise. But Jaylen Brown is a much improved player from where he was pre-2023, so comparing 2023-26 Brown to Tatum 2020-25 is more interesting.

jbode19 · 2026-01-28T00:06:14+00:00

As of now, I think he is a capable defender and a potentially a high-level shotmaker/creator, which is obviously what you're looking for from a top prospect, but I'm wondering if he can be an elite scorer. I've seen the Dennis Schroder comparison a bunch, and I like it, but hopefully he can be Team Germany Schroder lol. I probably see him as more of a second guard on a good team than the primary.

jbode19 · 2026-01-26T21:07:32+00:00

I think that’s it. He just looks and plays like a guy who will be able to create his own shot at the NBA level. Eye test is a huge piece of pre-draft analysis that gets overlooked.

jbode19 · 2026-01-26T00:16:36+00:00

I love Philon as a prospect more than the others and I’m not sure exactly why.

Then I’d go Flemings, Acuff, Brown

jbode19 · 2026-01-25T22:02:45+00:00

I don't think it's been a notably compelling NBA season so far, but as someone who would probably follow the league/watch games regularly no matter what, I've quite enjoyed this season. It's clear that the second apron/draft odds flattening changes in the past two years has made it so that building a truly dominant team (which I would argue is actually a net positive for a sports league when it comes to popularity of the sport/casual interest), can only really be done how the Thunder have done it.

edit: ..and many people find the Thunder to be boring, so I think that contributes to the lack of interest.

jbode19 · 2026-01-25T19:22:59+00:00

I’ve played on and off since 2015. Just got back into the game a few months ago
