Episode 73 - The Last Dance Part 1

After spending almost two years riding the bus with the Birmingham Barons, the Pace and Space Podcast is finally making its return to the NBA scene! And despite the challenges we are all facing we were all given the gift of The Last Dance documentary. And just as there were 10 amazing episodes, we put together 10 of the best questions they could come up with to discuss this amazing moment in sports. Given the robust dialogue that ensued, we've decided to break it up into two parts. So here are the questions we tackled in the part 1 of our two part coverage:

  1. Did this documentary deliver on the hype?
  2. What memories did this doc bring us back to?
  3. Who came off looking the best?
  4.  Who came off looking the worst?

Stay tuned this Friday when we release Part 2!

Next up, we discuss the Southeast Division. Is Dwight Howard the missing piece in Washington (Spoiler: he's not)? Can Miami make another playoff push? Will the Hornets rebound with a new head coach? Is the the breakout season for Aaron Gordon? And, how bad can the Hawks be this season?

Episode 56: Drake's Plan

The Raptors are the best team in the East...and it's time to give them their due! Calvin and Leif discuss all things Toronto after their impressive win to snap the Rockets win streak over the weekend.

Kawhi is returning to the Spurs this week, but is it already too late? Or should we expect the Spurs to be THE SPURS and make a deep playoff run once again?

We also talk about familiar faces and places as Derrick Rose reunites with Thibs in Minnesota and Dwyane Wade's resurgence since coming back to the Miami Heat at the trade deadline. How will these moves effect their teams moving forward?

Last but not least, we have our Dude and Dud of the week. You're going to want to stick around for this one as Calvin ends with a very spicy take about Kevin Durant!
