Brickhouse Ep 218: The Dysfunctional Team Updates
The worst NBA teams started changing personnel this week and even more are rumored to follow suit. It took less than a week for the Bulls new coach to nearly cause a player walkout. Likewise it was three days before Joel Embiid voiced frustration with his role next to Jimmy Butler. The constantly warring Washington Wizards can't understand how management traded everyone's favorite teammate. Plus rumors about a Suns trade and the Wolves possible new coach. Oh, and Steph Curry becomes the latest point-guard role model to deny science.

Brickhouse Ep 217: Happy NBA Hannukah!
To celebrate the holiday we discuss our eight biggest stories of the week. Like how Fred Hoiberg may have lost the team. How New Balance lost all their potential NBA endorsers until finally landing Kawhi. We weigh the possibility of John Wall trade rumors to the Lakers and Knicks and discuss the people pulling the strings behind them. The Rockets may look terrible but that isn't stopping Chris Paul from talking trash to everyone. Plus, Joakim Noah to Memphis, Nikola Jokic for MVP of my heart, and Steph Curry's revelation to try to market his shoes to girls. Diss of the Week submissions from a Wizards season ticket holder and Kobe Bryant.

Brickhouse Ep 216: The NBA's Most Disappointing Team Awards
The season's already a quarter finished and a few would-be playoff contenders look pretty finished too. The western conference features 14 competitive teams as well as Matt Baker's Phoenix Suns. What's worse? Bad analytics or bad chemistry? Have the Warriors driven the Rockets crazy? How are the Sacramento Kings this good? We also weigh in on this season's worst teammates and the players most deserving of a raise. Diss of the week submissions from and Jimmy Butler, Mike Malone and Bobby Portis... kind of.

Brickhouse Ep 215: Draymond Green Said What?
We always knew the only team that could stop the Warriors was the Warriors. And if any one player would be the one to tear it all down, it was always going to be Draymond Green. As the rumors swirl about what was said on the bench and in the locker room we're here to fan the flames. The crazy thing about speculating on Draymond Green quotes is that you can picture him saying almost anything. Nothing is too offensive. Golden State is not the only place for drama though. We discuss the exploding tension in Washington DC and examine the latest chapter in the ballad of Markelle Fultz.

Brickhouse Ep 214: Always Sunny Jimmy Butler to Philadelphia
Tom Thibodeau finally found a trade for his disgruntled star, Jimmy Butler. If Butler thought Wiggins and Towns were too fragile just wait until he gets a load of Fultz! We examine how the shockwaves of the trade ripple throughout the league. Everyone from fans of the Chicago Bulls, to Jimmer Fredette, to the movie Goonies felt it. Plus, the Rockets may not just be losing out on just Jimmy this week, but Carmelo too. Warriors execs hilariously lure fans with offer of $100 tickets to games with zero view. And it might be time to panic about Dwight Howard and the Washington Wizards.

Brickhouse Ep 213: Good & Bad NBA Marriages
Three weeks into the NBA season we've identified the coaches, players and teams that have found the perfect match. There's still more teams throwing dishes and sleeping on the couch. Mike Budenholzer found a newer, younger European partner, while Jimmy Butler and the Timberwolves look like Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren. The Cavs need counseling for their coaches and their veteran shooting guard. The Wizards only consistency is their dysfunction and Kawhi on the Raptors seems about as real as Kim Kardashian's TV wedding special. Plus, a Diss of the Week featuring Fergie's ex-husband versus the Golden State Warriors.

Brickhouse Ep 212: #Spitgate Winners and Losers
Well it didn't take long for one of the Lakers "meme team" to get into trouble, did it? Those punches were some of the only defense we've seen played this season! LeBron moved to LA for the entertainment business and his team is already delivering it on the court despite their 0-3 start. We break down the biggest losers from Saturday's fracas while also highlighting who benefits the most. That we already have an NBA conspiracy one week into the season is why this show exists and why we're fans. Plus a the Marc Stein/Shams Charnia Battle Royale in our 'Diss of the Week.'

Brickhouse Ep 211: Overreactions and New Podcast Pitches
In the spirit of experimentation and shameless pandering, we attempt to attract new listeners by incorporating relationship advice and dog metaphors into the show. After three nights of games we're ready to fire up our hottest overreactions to what we saw. Could the Suns be the next NBA dynasty? Is Boban Wilt Chamberlain with free throw making ability? In our latest segment "Shoe News!" we discuss Montrezl Harrell's plan to release the coolest sneakers of all time as well as the steep price discount on Lonzo's new Big Baller Brand sneakers. Plus, we do a dramatic reenactment of every Jimmy Butler interview in the past week.

Brickhouse Ep 210: The NBA Title Contender Team Previews
Previews for the top five teams in the NBA fighting to be this year's runner-up to the Warriors. This episode we ask executive-level questions like: If Danny Ainge had traded four draft picks for Justise Winslow would we still think he's a good GM? Would Sam Hinkie ever consider a return to the Rockets front office? And what's Bryan Colangelo up to these days? The Thunder will use this season to find the best fit for Paul George and the Raptors will try to convince Kawhi Toronto's just like LA, but better. We reveal the "Secret MVP" for each team and talk the failed Jimmy Butler trade and the Suns firing Ryan McDonough in our Diss of the Week.

Brickhouse Ep 208: The Wannabe Contender Team Previews
These are the teams that are one player away if that player were LeBron James. Coincidentally a few of them come from the whitest cities with NBA teams. Unfortunately none of them have a history of attracting free agents. We preview and answer burning questions about the Jazz, Pacers, Blazers, Grizzlies, Bucks and Spurs. Where will Chandler Parsons be in the next ten years? Is Kris Middleton a max player? Could Lonnie Walker be an all-time funny NBA player?

Brickhouse Ep 207: Jimmy Butler Drama and the Dry Heave Team Previews
When Jimmy Butler forces a late off-season trade that means the NBA is back! This historic occasion may be the first time a player has ever actually tried to be traded to the Clippers. After months of searching, the 76ers found their new GM right under their noses. We discuss how the Elton Brand hiring came to be. The dry heave team previews are the teams too good for a top draft pick but not good enough to make the playoffs. Their the NBA's version of purgatory or, to mix metaphors, a vomit that never comes. Tune in for our season previews of the Clippers, Heat, Pistons, Knicks, Hornets and Magic and stay for the NBA's scheduled tunnel fight rematch between Chris Paul and Blake Griffin.

Brickhouse Ep 206: The So Bad They're Good Team Previews
Just because these teams have a hard time winning games doesn't mean they're not entertaining. We break down the six worst teams in the NBA and tell you their biggest moves of the offseason, how they might surprise us, and what still makes them exciting. In the case of the Sacramento Kings, unintentional comedy counts too. We ask some burning questions like: Which team has the worst starting five? Are the Cavs Klutch Sports contracts completely untradable? What life lessons can young guys learn from a vet like Vince Carter? And will Matt and Bob own Puma basketball shoes before next year's Finals? Plus Diss of the Week submissions from Ben Simmons and Kobe Bryant.

Will the Rockets really be ten games worse with Carmelo Anthony? Can the Lakers get a top-four seed in the West? And who's the more hipster team this year; the Jazz or the Nuggets?

Brickhouse Ep 190: Playoffs, Rumors and Draft Smokescreens
All it takes is one social media follow or unfollow for NBA fans to lose their minds. Speculation runs rampant when a reporter says on a podcast that Karl-Anthony Towns could POSSIBLY be traded. You bet we take the speculation ball and run with it. The Suns and Kings are playing checkers about not drafting Luka Doncic (in a league where everyone else is playing chess). Both teams are saying they want a center when the Suns just hired Luka's old coach and everyone knows Vlade Divac can't resist building the first NBA team built entirely of eastern Europeans. Plus Steph Curry's potty-mouth and the Cavs and Rockets battle to win this week's 'Diss of the Week.'

We rank ever team in the playoffs from 16-1 starting with the already eliminated Blazers. I guess Portland decided they no longer like winning ever since it got so popular. Hear Drake asks God if the Raptors winning it all are in "God's Plan." And how since the debut of "Playoff P" the Thunder have gotten nothing but playoff L's. Plus Matt Barnes does a 4/20 Reddit AMA and how *wink wink* LeBron James would never throw a teammate under the bus.

Who's hanging out on the yacht Rich Paul will buy with all his Ben Simmons endorsement money? Can Magic Johnson really go another 75 days without tampering with Paul George again? Maybe this is the summer Steven Adams finally learns the names of all his brothers and sisters. Of course we all want to know what happens to LeBron James. Take every joke you get and multiply it by ten and that's how much you know the NBA.

Find out where Isaiah Thomas, Kevin Love and Mr. Khloe Kardashian rank. Plus more trade news from around the league and we introduce a new segment called, "How is this Not Tampering?"

Brickhouse Ep 177: Trade Rumors Everywhere
It's that time of year where tankers turn borderline All-Stars into future draft picks and contenders pretend players like George Hill could be the final piece to their title-winning team. But the rumors don't just stop with NBA basketball. We want juicy trade rumors so bad we start to see them everywhere we look. Find out about some big names changing teams like Meryl Streep to HBO and Nestle ditching candy for coffee and vitamins. We'll keep tabs on the drunk guy outside the bar willing to trade "anything" for a hot dog. Plus, even more trades involving Kim Jong Un, Lavar Ball and Vince McMahon. Tune it. I propose you'll love it.

Brickhouse Ep 173: The Funniest NBA Moments of 2017
Was that year a doozy or what?

We break down the highlights month by month, reminiscing about the funniest moments and the litter of jokes they spawned. This episode is basically Chris Farley on The Chris Farley Show, "You remember when Ice Cube announced he was starting a 3-on-3 tournament with Allen Iverson and Stephen Jackson?...
