Triple Zeros

It was a pleasure to welcome NBA writer, Jack Simone to the show! We covered his unique journey into the world of sports journalism and just how he finds time to cover all of the beats that he does. He gave his take on the Boston Celtics' loss in the NBA Finals, what happened to star forward Jayson Tatum, and on the job Boston's Ime Udoka did as a rookie head coach. How did the Golden State Warriors' experience impact the Celtics and, ultimately the series? Also, Jack sends a strong message on Marcus Smart's ideal role on the team going forward. Then, we get into the Hornets hiring Kenny Atkinson to be their head coach only to have him back out days later. How big of a surprise was it and in what direction will they go now? Also, what draft prospects make the most sense for the Hornets in Thursday's draft? Could they make a move for a young upside player to fill a big need? Lastly, what does Jack make of all the rumors surrounding the Bulls? Hear what he thinks of that and what Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert would have if the Bulls traded for him this summer. Plus, what should they do with youngsters Patrick Williams and Coby White? Follow Jack on Twitter (@JackSimoneNBA) and read his work for Heavy, Celtics Blog, At the Hive, and Enjoy Basketball.

A tip of the cap to Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors. That makes four titles in the last eight seasons and seven overall. That and his first Finals MVP should put the legacy talk to bed. Klay Thompson ethered Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. for something that happened during the regular season. Jayson Tatum may be the Boston Celtics' best player. But he is far from the Kobe Byant replica he fancied himself to be. The latest Chicago Bulls rumor finally brings some positive news while Atlanta Hawks management is pumping the breaks on rumors of sweeping changes. How will Christian Wood getting traded from the Houston Rockets to the Dallas Mavericks impact the trade market this summer? Apparently, nobody wants to pick after the first three selections in the June 23 NBA Draft. On the NFL side, second-year quarterback Justin Fields and the Chicago Bears wrapped an up-and-down mandatory three-day minicamp. Will the front office do more to surround him with weapons? They could always try to flip disgruntled EDGE Robert Quinn for a pass-catcher. The Bears joined the Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, and Washington Football Team in being fined for excessive hitting in offseason workouts. Chicago (this offseason) and Dallas (next offseason) both lost practices. The New Orleans Saints revealed their new alternate helmets. New York Jets rookie and 10th-overall pick, Garrett Wilson, got a reality check during his appearance on Ryan Clark's "The Pivot". Deshaun Watson's camp is anticipating severe punishment from the league as the result of his 24 lawsuits for sexual misconduct.

Triple Zeros is happy to welcome Pat Benson Jr. of Sports Illustrated's All Hawks to the show. We get into everything from his journey to journalism, his love for sneakers leading to his authoring a book about a basketball icon, and how personal tragedy played a part. All of that before we even got to the Hawks who appear set for an active offseason. Hear what Pat thinks of the season that was, some of the trade rumors buzzing around the Hawks, and what to make of recent injury revelations.  Pat then puts on his general manager's cap for the Hawks and gives his take on what a successful offseason might look like.  His attention then shifts towards the Los Angeles Lakers; his favorite team. He tells us just how far he is willing to go to get L.A. back on track after a tumultuous season. LeBron James and Russell Westbrook, pack your bags. Be sure to follow Pat on Twitter (@Pat_Benson_Jr) and read all of his great work at AllHawks.com. Also, be sure to grab your copy of his book, "Kobe Bryant's Sneaker History (1996-202)" on Amazon.  Heavy on Bulls Last Word on Pro Football Soaring Down South Follow the show on Facebook and Twitter (@3ZerosPod, @JoshGBuck, @ClockerSports) and visit ClockerSport.com today!

This episode of Triple Zeros kicks off by updating the latest buzz around the Chicago Bulls and Atlanta Hawks. The Rudy Gobert rumors took a big blow with a report of the core expected to be back including Nikola Vucevic. But we did get an interesting nugget about their free agency plans. The Hawks have been linked to Utah Jazz center as well as Detroit Pistons forward, Jerami Grant. Will they move John Collins? Will Bogdan Bogdanovic's knee hold up after another surgery? Zooming out, Stephen Curry put on a Herculean performance in Game 4. But he needs his co-stars to start co-starring going forward. Where will the next Boston Celtics or Golden State Warriors come from? Deandre Ayton and the Phoenix Suns are negotiating in public. And if Phil Knight's money is not good enough, who's is? On the NFL side, Chicago Bears quarterback, Justin Fields, has both impressed and struggled in camp. While that is expected, the team should do this one thing to help him out this season. Former Bears and new Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive lineman, Akiem Hicks, took a shot at the quarterback history in Chicago. Man, was he spot on. Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp just secured the bag this offseason. Cleveland Browns quarterback, Deshaun Watson, is facing yet another allegation. That makes 24 now. Lamar Jackson's contract situation has devolved into a one-sided PR battle. Wal-Mart's money is better than Nike's apparently.

Drew Stevens (@LookWhatDrewDid) of Bulls On Tap and WARR Media joined the show to talk about all of the rumors surrounding the team. We get into Zach LaVine's free agency, what to do with Coby White and Nikola Vucevic, and whether or not the Bulls should go after Utah Jazz center, Rudy Gobert. Plus, hear what Drew would do if he had full control of the team this offseason including who he would target in free agency to help round out this roster. Then, things zoom out to the playoffs as a whole. Drew talks about what surprised him the most this postseason. Hint: it was in the first round, but it was not the Bulls. We also talk about expectations for the NBA Finals ahead of Game 3 between the Boston Celtics and the Golden State Warriors. Can Boston take advantage of homecourt to bounce back?

The NBA Finals start on Thursday, who ya got? While Golden State has the experience, Boston matches up well. And you can never underestimate youthful exuberance. The Chicago Bulls will have some work to do if Zach LaVine leaves. They also have to get Lonzo Ball healthy. A similar story is brewing with the Atlanta Hawks who are ready for wholesale changes in search of a second star, possibly even LaVine. LeBron James became the first active player to reach billionaire (with a “b”) status. On the NFL side, the Chicago Bears have a couple of routes they can take to help fill out their wide receiver room. If they do it right, they might be able to do enough to sneak into the playoffs this season. Kyler Murray showing up to camp means one of two things. Either he knows he has a new deal coming or he will soon experience a vague injury until he gets what he wants. All that and more!

Taking stock of the NBA Conference Finals, Jimmy Butler delivered on his promise. The Miami Heat took care of business in Game 3 versus Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics. Bam Adebayo and Jaylen Brown both had stellar performances on the evening. In the Western Conference Finals, the Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors just keep coming at Luka Docic and the Dallas Mavericks. Zach LaVine's future is becoming more of a debate than is comfortable. But are we just overreacting to the typical process of a first-time free agent? On the NFL side, the Chicago Bears are starting to push back on narratives. Second-year quarterback Justin Fields came out in defense of his receiving corp. Will they catch some teams by surprise next season? Also, look for Robert Quinn to be a hot ticket item around the trade deadline. The Cleveland Browns took one option off of the board re-signing Jadeveon Clowney. The league also seems to be turning against Washington Commanders owner, Daniel Snyder. But will something actually be done, or is this just more posturing?

This episode of Triple Zeros starts off picking winners for the two Game 7s taking place on Sunday. Will Giannis Antetokounmpo and the reigning champion Milwaukee Bucks advance on the road against Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics? Then, can the Dallas Mavericks pull off the upset against last year's NBA Finals runner-up in the Chris Paul-led Phoenix Suns? Secretly, there are a couple of Finals matchups that would be more intriguing than others both for basketball and marketing reasons.  Chicago Bulls free agent Zach LaVine's name came up in discussion of yet another team ahead of free agency. Draymond Green had something to say to Kendrick Perkins after the Golden State Warriors knocked off the Ja Morant-less Memphis Grizzlies. On the NFL side, the Chicago Bears are going with a strength-in-numbers approach at wide receiver. But there is still upside among the unheralded group led by Darnell Mooney. Former 16-year veteran running back, Frank Gore, celebrated his 39th birthday with a knockout in his professional boxing debut. A hearing to determine whether Jon Gruden vs Roger Goddell will be heard by an arbitrator or in a trial has a date set. New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston spoke about what his return to football means to him.

This episode of Triple Zeros starts off marveling at the Milwaukee Bucks' comeback win over the Boston Celtics before checking in on the other four playoff series. Joel Embiid has a point about narratives affecting voting. Did he actually benefit from the media push more than Nikola Jokic? Free-agent guard Zach LaVine has gone from a lock to return to possible flight risk. But the grass is not necessarily greener elsewhere after the season the Chicago Bulls put together. The Atlanta Hawks are heavy in trade rumors with everyone but Trae Young on the table after a disappointing finish to the season. As Lakers' ownership draws lines in the sand, could we see Kyrie Irving make his way to Los Angeles this summer? On the NFL side, the Chicago Bears have not gotten the benefit of the doubt. That is what happens when your organization has gone through decades of futility. Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill said he would not go out of his way to mentor rookie Malik Willis. It is his right to be a poor teammate and will ultimately be his downfall. The Arizona Cardinals and Baltimore Ravens should do whatever it takes to ensure Kyler Murray and Lamar Jackson are with them, respectively, for a very long time.

This episode of Triple Zeros kicks off with some NFL Draft discussion as the Chicago Bears made some interesting choices with their Day 2 and 3 picks. Quarterbacks Baker Mayfield and Mitchell Trubisky found themselves as clear losers despite both being veterans and former high draft picks themselves. A.J. Brown and Hollywood Brown both find themselves in better situations after being traded to the Philadelphia Eagles and Arizona Cardinals, respectively. What does it mean for their old teams? New Minnesota Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah got flamed after his trade with the Detroit Lions netted less than expected. On the NBA side, wrapping up the first round of the playoffs. What is next for the Chicago Bulls and Atlanta Hawks after varying levels of disappointment in their first-round matchups? The Utah Jazz appear headed for a Rudy Gobert-Donovan Mitchell break up while the Minnesota Timberwolves need Karl-Anthony Towns to put up or shut up. Nikola Jokic needs Jamal Murray back from a rehab process the guard has admitted has been mentally challenging. The Toronto Raptors have a brighter future than the Brooklyn Nets. Plus picks for the second round!

This episode of Triple Zeros starts off talking about Zach LaVine's Chicago Bulls and how their season has been a success regardless of what happens in the playoffs. Then we move on to Trae Young's Atlanta Hawks who are still battling for positioning in the Play-In Tournament on the final day of the regular season. Joel Embiid has led the Philadelphia 76ers to the four-seed in the Eastern Conference, but that doesn't mean the voters "hate" him if he doesn't win MVP. That award should go to the guy who just recorded the first 2000-point, 1000-rebound, 500-assist season in NBA history. Finally, Commissioner Adam Silver is concerned with the amount of games star players are missing, but his plan for extra incentives complicates a simple problem. On the NFL side, the New Orleans Saints and Philadephia Eagles made a big trade to swap picks, but was it too soon for the former to truly take advantage? Colin Kaepernick threw at the University of Michigan pro day. It is hard to imagine that it will be enough to get him more than lip service from an NFL team after all this time, though. Former New York Jets and current Panthers quarterback, Sam Darnold, had some interesting things to say about his short NFL career. And Buffalo Bills wide receiver, Stefon Diggs, bet on himself and cashed in this offseason.

This episode of Triple Zeros wonders if the Donovan Mitchell-Rudy Gobert era has run its course for the sixth-seeded Utah Jazz. Then, could Gobert make sense for a Chicago Bulls team that is sliding and has clear weaknesses? The Atlanta Hawks have won five straight to take over the eight-seed -- no team wants to face them in the postseason. Kevin Durant is right about the Golden State Warriors and Oklahoma City Thunder having to retire his number, you cannot tell the story of either organization without mentioning him. Both Los Angeles teams have dealt with injuries but the Lakers are sliding while the Clippers have done better than expected. And Zion Williamson's workout videos come off as more of a demo reel than a notice to the New Orleans Pelicans front office. Switching over to the NFL, the new overtime rules aren't bad but it is good that they are keeping it to the postseason (for now). Indianapolis Colts owner, Jim Irsay lit into Carson Wentz but that is nothing compared to what is being alleged about Washington Commanders owner, Daniel Snyder regarding ticket sales. Bruce Arians may or may not have been made to step away from the sidelines, but he leaves an indelible mark that the league is still trying to emulate through rules changes. The Los Angeles Rams have signed Bobby Wagner to a big deal begging the question, once again, is the salary cap real? Finally, Pittsburgh Steelers HC Mike Tomlin proved once again why he is a certain host's favorite NFL head coach.

In this episode of Triple Zeros, Udonis Haslem let Jimmy Butler know exactly how what would happen if they had to come to blows during a recent Miami Heat loss. Any talk of the Memphis Grizzlies being better without Ja Morant because they have a great record (17-2) without him is missing the big picture. They're also just flat-out wrong. Patrick Beverley has had more of a positive impact on Karl-Anthony Towns and the Minnesota Timberwolves than a former teammate who is still bumping heads with people. Whether or not you agreed with his stance, Kyrie Irving stood firm and has outlasted what devolved into a war of words with politicians. The rest of the East should be on notice. It isn't a surprise that the Los Angeles Lakers are guaranteed their first losing season in three years. It is disappointing, though. On the NFL side, Tyreek Hill goes from the Kansas City Chiefs to the Miami Dolphins and made it very clear he wasn't considering the New York Jets despite rumors. On top of that, there is some buzz that Tom Brady could try to force his way down to South Beach after his 40-day retirement brought him back to Tampa. Could a riff with head coach Bruce Arians be the reason? The Cleveland Browns introduced Deshaun Watson and it went just as you would expect with the focus now back on the league and any possible suspension. On a related note, while there may be some interest with soon-to-be former Browns QB Baker Mayfield, teams are smart not to pony up draft capital just yet. That includes the Carolina Panthers who have also been linked to Arizona Cardinals passer Kyler Murray.

This episode of Triple Zeros kicks off wondering why Toronto Raptors rookie Scottie Barnes was asked how he felt about LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers before entering the league. Also, just as the Golden State Warriors got the band back together, Stephen Curry gets hurt. Things then shift over to the Eastern Conference as the James Harden-Ben Simmons trade will end up as a push for the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers, but not in a good way. Still, Kevin Durant knows exactly what fans want (even if he doesn't care). And does Detroit Pistons wing Saddiq Bey having a 50-point outing prove the accomplishment isn't what it once was? On the NFL side, operation "No Days Off" is in full effect with Deshaun Watson getting traded from the Houston Texans to the Cleveland Browns. The Las Vegas Raiders signed Chandler Jones and then traded for Davante Adams leaving the AFC West incredibly loaded. Still, the Jacksonville Jaguars are the team currently "winning the offseason". Tom Brady is trying to recruit Julio Jones to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Pete Carroll brought up Colin Kaepernick for no reason (again).

This episode of Triple Zeros kicks off talking about the return of Zion Williamson to the New Orleans Pelicans this week to complete his rehab. Then, which one is a contender and which one is a pretender between Kevin Durant's Brooklyn Nets or Joel Embiid's Philadelphia 76ers? Their lopsided head-to-head matchup certainly saw Kyrie Irving look like a better sidekick than James Harden. Former Sacramento Kings guard Jason Williams said Kobe Bryant arguably wasn't in his top-five all-time Los Angeles Lakers. The NBA world celebrates Gregg Popovich after he passed Don Nelson for the most coaching wins in NBA history. On the NFL side, the offseason doesn't mean a time for rest. The Chicago Bears traded Khalil Mack to the Los Angeles Chargers which could mean a big opportunity for third-year EDGE Trevis Gipson. Russell Wilson is now a member of the Denver Broncos after Pete Carroll and the Seattle Seahawks agreed to a deal, but is it too late? Carson Wentz showed enough to convince the Washington Commanders to give up draft capital for his services. And, whatever Aaron Rodgers says, the opposite is probably true. Deshaun Watson could soon have a new address too after his criminal trial was dismissed, though, he still has to deal with civil litigation as well as the league's investigation.

This episode of Triple Zeros kicks off wondering just how much of the New York Knicks woes are on Tom Thibodeau and how culpable Julius Randle is after the latter blew up on Cam Johnson of the Phoenix Suns. The Philadelphia 76ers have won five straight and four in a row with James Harden in the lineup. What’s their ceiling? The Ja Morant-Derrick Rose comparisons are unfair to the Memphis Grizzlies superstar point guard. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers struggles were predictable, injuries and all. On the NFL side, QB chatter once again rules the discussion with Kyler Murray, Aaron Rodgers, and Russell Wilson – who the Washington Commanders attempted to trade for – all earning their fair share of the headlines. The New York Giants have made running back Saquon Barkley available while the New England Patriots are letting cornerback JC Jackson test free agency. Plus, new Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniels is either not sold on Tua Tagovailoa or in over his head and possibly both!

This episode kicks off with the NBA as the league returns from the All-Star break. Hear what Draymond Green had to say about Rudy Gobert and why he was right. But first, The Chicago Bulls have been even better than expected despite being banged up all season long. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks can't overcome the inconsistent effort that has played a large part in their disappointing season to this point. James Harden made his debut alongside Joel Embiid in a Philadephia 76ers victory. Ben Simmons is not as close to returning as Kevin Durant is for the Brooklyn Nets but the even bigger story is that Kyrie Irving may soon be a full-time player. And what should we make of Zion Williamson's situation with the New Orleans Pelicans? On the NFL side, Russell Wilson is the Kyler Murray of Aaron Rodgerses after his social media antics this week. It's time for the Seattle Seahawks to move on even if it's a year late. Matt Nagy (and Ryan Pace) landed a new job; his old one! He'll be the senior assistant and quarterback's coach for Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Brian Flores landed an assistant role in Pittsburgh and it might not be too far-fetched to believe that Deshaun Watson could join him. Teams are reportedly still lining up with trade offers even with his sexual assault cases still ongoing.

The Super Bowl ended just as predicted, sort of.  The Los Angeles Rams did get the win, but the thought that they would blow the Cincinnati Bengals out was always a bit of an overstep. Now Joe Burrow and Matt Stafford are both facing legacy questions. They aren't alone, though, as quarterbacks are once again poised to dominate the discourse over the offseason following Tom Brady's retirement (for now?), Aaron Rodgers' future, as well as re-visiting Russell Wilson's and, yes, even DeShaun Watson's situations. This is as Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals try to mend their relationship and the Las Vegas Raiders contemplate extending Derek Carr. On the NBA side, the All-Star break is here, and...it needs work. The skills competition, like much of the weekend's festivities, has been revamped many times over only to continually fall short of the expectations set in years past. Karl-Anthony Towns won the three-point contest but even that came with three straight misses on his final rack. He still set a record so there's that. No contest has suffered more from the lack of star power and personalities than the dunk contest. New York Knicks F Obi Toppin won it but, in all honesty, his first dunk was far more impressive than his last.

Super Bowl LVI leads the show as the Los Angeles Rams should close as four-point favorites. So why are we taking the Cincinnati Bengals with the points? It's not just Joe Burrow! Also, can Matthew Stafford his Detroit Lions days behind him or will he make a commit a turnover that turns the tide? Lovie Smith makes his return to the big chair as the new head coach of the Houston Texans, an opportunity he deserves even if he did get the job after the optics around the Texans interest in Josh McCown only became worse. The Miami Dolphins and Minnesota Vikings both hired offensive-minded head coaches except neither has called plays.  The NBA's trade deadline certainly didn't disappoint with the Brooklyn Nets finally prying Ben Simmons, among other pieces, out of the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for James Harden who insisted he wasn't disgruntled until, of course, he was. The Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Los Angeles Lakers all made solid trades at the deadline. Only one of the Chicago Bulls and Atlanta Hawks responded poorly after standing pat at the deadline but both teams could ultimately come to regret that decision come playoff time.

He's also one of the best follows on Twitter and he joined me to talk about the Chicago Bears after they've hired their new regime.

Our attention turns to the first-place Bulls who have won five of their last seven despite a slew of injuries to key players.

Tom Brady reportedly retired from the NFL after 22 seasons. Except, his lawyer came out and said the quarterback has yet to finalize his decision and will be the only one to officially make that announcement. Elsewhere in the NFL, the Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings, and New York Giants all hired general managers while the Bears, Giants, and Denver Broncos all hired head coaches. Sean Payton officially stepped away from the New Orleans Saints and Antonio Brown is stumping to join his cousin Hollywood in Baltimore. Odell Becham Jr reportedly warned Von Miller about Cleveland. And, of course, picks! The NBA's trade deadline is just under two weeks away and rumors are swirling. But at what point are the moves not worth the hit to a team's chemistry. Orlando Magic point guard Cole Anthony has committed to participating in the dunk contest during All-Star weekend. Meanwhile, Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins sounded less enthusiastic about his chances of heading to Cleveland. Joel Embiid paid for Jose Alvarado's fine and it's possible the Chicago Bulls need better health and more health to reach their potential.

The NFL is bracing for what many call the best weekend in pro football, the Divisional Round of the playoffs. Derrick Henry is back and starting this weekend. But do the Tennesse Titans have enough firepower to keep up with Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals? Can Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers finally overcome his 0-3 history against a San Francisco 49ers team that might be the best-coached outfit in football? Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills have rediscovered an actual running game. Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs have rediscovered their balance too, though, and the difference could be the experience. That's why it would be foolish to count out Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the Los Angeles Rams. Aaron Donald probably disagrees. Then, as the Baltimore Ravens fire their long-time DC following an injury-riddled season, the New York Giants have hired a general manager, and while the Houston Texans want teams to want Josh McCown as bad as they do.  On the NBA side, Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons need to make amends, there is no better fit for each other. Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Lakers need to stop their rumored trade talk too but for entirely different reasons. Kyrie Irving's return would make the Brooklyn Nets the favorites if they could be guaranteed health and that James Harden was fully bought in (instead of eyeing a partnership with Embiid). Also, the Chicago Bulls will take a hit but should be able to survive Lonzo Ball's absence and, don't look now, but the Atlanta Hawks are getting hot again.

We kick things off by flipping the script and making picks first ahead of Super Wild Card Weekend on Saturday. The Joe Burrow-led Cincinnati Bengals might just be too much for the great story that has been the Derek Carr (and Rich Bisaccia) Las Vegas Raiders season. Home teams should rule the weekend but don't be surprised if the San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals make it interesting. The same could be said for Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers who certainly won't be intimidated by Arrowhead against the Kansas City Chiefs. Plus, we touch on the most intriguing head coaches and openings around the NFL including why one team is getting a bum deal for their search. On the NBA side, the Atlanta Hawks and New York Knicks kicked off #TradeSZN but will that solve the problem for either team? Josh Richardson of the Dallas Mavericks used a viral phrase to let Matisse Thybulle know what he thought of them as the two had a minor dustup in the Dallas Mavericks-Philadelphia 76ers game on Friday. And while the Chicago Bulls appear to have avoided serious issues with Zach LaVine's knee, they still need to make a move to protect themselves going forward.

Watching the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Denver Broncos while recording this, the Chiefs have one thing other teams simply do not: Patrick Mahomes. Antonio Brown made quite the exit from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers sideline against the New York Jets. But after he threw Tom Brady under the bus, he better hope he's right about Bruce Arians and the Bucs treatment of his ankle injury. Do the Cincinnati Bengals run the AFC North now? Having Joe Burrow under center sure helps. The Las Vegas Raiders should give Rich Bisaccia a legitimate shot at the head coaching job. And Jim Harbaugh could still come to Chicago if the Bears give Ryan Pace the proper role with his anticipated new title. Plus, which division leaders can we trust heading into the NFL Playoffs next week? On the NBA side, Klay Thompson announces his return this Sunday when the Golden State Warriors take on the Cleveland Cavaliers while there is a chance the Los Angeles Clippers get Kahwi Leonard back this season too. Meanwhile, finally healthy and playing well, DeMarcus Cousins got cut by the Milwaukee Bucks in a move intended to maintain roster flexibility (he's since signed with the Denver Nuggets). The Chicago Bulls are getting All-Star love while the Atlanta Hawks got some tough love from their general manager.

As we wrap the second full year of Triple Zeros, I wanted to share a couple of my favorite moments. I joined Andrew Donaldson (@four4thefire) on his podcast, Heard Tell (@HeardTellShow), a little while back to discuss Jon Gruden's unceremonious exit from the Las Vegas Raiders and if there would be more fallout. We also got into the dangers of the current media environment where being first if rewarded more than being right and what things we can do, as content creators and consumers, to avoid those pitfalls. I was also fortunate enough to be invited onto the World Class Hoops Podcast (@WCHPNetwork) by host Chris Rouse (@KingRouse21). On top of the great show, Chris calls games for the Windy City Bulls, Chicago State University, and has been seen on ESPN+. We talked about the Chicago Bulls and our early impressions as they were still getting a feel for each other. Also brought up were the doubters who seemed very off-base in their assessments even in the preseason.

Does Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley trust the analytics too much? He certainly doesn’t think so even after opting not to kick it likely cost his team the game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday Night Football. Urban Meyer’s tenure with the Jacksonville Jaguars couldn’t end soon enough judging from the statement by rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence. As hard as it might be for Chicago Bears fans to hear, Aaron Rodgers probably isn’t going anywhere. Plus, is Baker Mayfield right about the NFL’s handling of COVID testing after several games get re-scheduled this weekend? Speaking of, over 70 players have gone into health & safety protocols in the last week with the number growing every day. Are we nearing a period where, if not a stoppage, a pause for a couple of weeks is in order for teams to get healthy? Kevin Durant isn’t here for the backhanded compliments Skip Bayless tries to give him despite the latter’s insistence he “loves” the MVP hopeful. As for the award, Zach Lowe of ESPN thinks it is stupid for Nikola Jokic to be left out of the discussion. And, with Zion Williamson needing an injection to speed up the healing process in his foot, things are murky as ever with regards to the future for the New Orleans Pelicans.

Chase Claypool’s biggest mistake in NFL Week 14 wasn’t celebrating the late first down and the Pittsburgh Steelers let Ben Roethlisberger hold them hostage and are paying the price in the win column. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Vikings have gotten all that they can with Mike Zimmer as their head coach. Was Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy even saying what Washington Football Team head coach Ron Rivera was overreacting to? There is a new report detailing how players and coaches have had just about enough of the Urban Meyer experience. On the NBA side, the Chicago Bulls are dealing with an outbreak of COVID at a tricky time. C.J. McCollum is dealing with a collapsed lung while his Portland Trail Blazers teammate Damian Lillard is fighting rumors he is looking to get Ben Simmons traded to the Northwest. We are officially on Stephen Curry-watch as he nears Ray Allen’s three-point record. The Indiana Pacers are already blowing it up and looking to move one or both of Domatas Sabonis and Myles Turner.

Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys had their fair share of struggles before running away from the New Orleans Saints who could be facing some major changes in the future. In other NFL Week 13 storylines, it's time for Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks to part ways as neither side is what the other is looking for anymore. Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is just the latest example of why you shouldn't invest heavily in the position. Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians didn't mince words with regards to the three-game suspensions for Antonio Brown and Mike Edwards for falsifying their vaccination status. In the NBA, the Portland Trail Blazers have parted ways with Neil Olshey after an investigation confirmed reports of a toxic/hostile work environment after hiring a new head coach this summer. Why haven't they hit the reset button on this roster; namely, Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum? LeBron James "beat COVID" in two days, but the  Los Angeles Lakers still fell to the Clippers. It took Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors to snap Chris Paul and the Phoenix Suns (without Devin Booker) winning streak at 18 games. And the Chicago Bulls biggest critics have changed their tunes while the team has raised expectations.  Last Word on Pro Football Pippen Ain't Easy Soaring Down South Follow the show on Facebook and Twitter (@3ZerosPod, @JoshGBuck, @ClockerSports) and visit ClockerSport.com today!

The NFL kicked off Week 12 on Thanksgiving with the Chicago Bears beating the Detroit Lions and delaying what most believe is to be the inevitable firing of head coach Matt Nagy though, per ownership prior to the game, the two things were never related. Also from this game, Dan Campbell has many likable qualities, but is coaching one of them? In the best game of the day between Derek Carr’s Las Vegas Raiders and Dak Prescott’s Dallas Cowboys, the biggest takeaway could be that both teams are enigmas. Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills trounced a group of players claiming to be the New Orleans Saints. How much stock can we put in this win after the losses they’ve had? In the NBA, the Chicago Bulls have shown an impressive level of adaptability as they sit near the top of the East. Meanwhile, Trae Young’s Atlanta Hawks have gone streaking in a good way to get themselves back into the thick of things. The Golden State Warriors are still atop the standings as is Stephen Curry in the MVP race. But the Phoenix Suns and Devin Booker have won 15 straight and are the reigning Western Conference champions. And the Los Angeles Lakers are finding new ways to struggle.

Mac Jones and the New England Patriots shutout of Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons to kick off Week 11 in the NFL was so lopsided it put me to sleep. Why did Ryan/Atlanta run it back again? Elsewhere in the NFC South, Cam Newton is back with the Carolina Panthers and Antonio Brown is denying claims that he had a fake vaccination card his former chef says he received from a Tampa Bay Buccaneers teammate. Derrick Henry could return this season. Plus, Matthew Stafford's wife is giving Patrick Mahomes' a run for her money in the bleacher food wars. On the NBA side, Zach LaVine's Chicago Bulls and Bradley Beal's Washington Wizards are spearheading two of the NBA's most surprising teams. Steph Curry has the Golden State Warriors looking like a true contender once again while he should be the (way-too-early) favorite for MVP. Players impacted the most by the league's new shooting foul rules like James Harden and Trae Young have begun to figure it out. Tristan Thompson had a strong message for his Sacramento Kings teammates while the Staples Center gets a new name. Also, is Giannis Antetokounmpo already planning to leave the Milwaukee Bucks?

In this episode of Triple Zeros: Week 10 in the NFL kicked off with an upset as Tua Tagovailoa came off of the bench to help the Miami Dolphins topple Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. Aaron Rodgers took a much different approach to his second appearance on the Pat McAfee Show in two weeks. Russell Wilson is set to return for the Seattle Seahawks as they take on the Green Bay Packers after missing half of the time expected with his fractured finger.  On the NBA side, Damian Lillard joins the chorus of players unhappy with the enforcement of the league's tweaks to shooting fouls. Rich Paul says the Philadelphia 76ers are making Ben Simmons' mental state worse. And the Chicago Bulls could be without center Nikola Vucevic for the next 10 days as he goes through health and safety protocols. All of that and much more!

In this episode of Triple Zeros: Aaron Rodgers' choice of words has the NFL interested in the Green Bay Packers handling of COVID protocols. He'll miss this week's duel with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs after testing positive. Elsewhere, injuries to Derrick Henry, Jameis Winston, and others have shaken up the top of both conferences. And Von Miller is about to have a resurgence with the Los Angeles Rams. On the NBA side, after ESPN's report on racism and misogyny by Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver, the league is opening a full-blown investigation. Following a summer where Jon Gruden re-signed over similar allegations, could we see another situation similar to former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling? He was forced out of the league in 2014 after private conversations were leaked.

In this episode of Triple Zeros: The Green Bay Packers win over the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday Night Football is the reason we shouldn't overreact to one game. The Kansas City Chiefs are too, but they are in trouble all the same. Sam Darnold was benched by the Carolina Panthers and folks are questioning OC Joe Brady. But why is Matt Rhule escaping blame? Also, the Cincinnati Bengals sit atop the AFC North. Do they have staying power? On the NBA side, Ja Morant and Steph Curry are tied for the league-lead in scoring. The former got the win in overtime on Thursday. Anthony Edwards called out his teammates after a loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. They responded with a win over the reigning-champion Milwaukee Bucks. All of that and more!

In this episode of Triple Zeros: The NBA regular season tipped off and Giannis Antetokounmpo and the reigning champion Milwaukee Bucks took it to Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets. The Ben Simmons saga doesn't seem close to ending as Philadelphia 76ers president Daryl Morey said he was ready to wait "years" for a resolution. The league also continued the celebration by announcing its 75th Anniversary Team.  On the NFL side, the Cleveland Brown out-grinded the Denver Broncos with Case Keenum and D'Ernest Johnson doing the heavy lifting. It also seems like Pete Carroll is just paying lip service about checking in with popular free-agent quarterbacks after the head coach mentions Cam Newton but opts for Jacob Eason. The Miami Dolphins are supposedly in on trading for embattled Houston Texans quarterback, Deshaun Watson. And the feds have gotten involved with the Washington Football Team's e-mails.

In this episode of Triple Zeros: Are Tom Brady's Tampa Bay Buccaneers paper tigers? Their win over the Philadelphia Eagles wasn't that convincing. Jon Gruden resigned as head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders and Adam Schefter caught a stray, but nothing on the Washington Football Team. Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur dropped a quote that got a lot of fanfare but it was just the second-best quote this week. And of course, NFL Week 6 picks! Things switch over to the NBA as Ben Simmons has arrived in Philly, but does he intend on being a good soldier for the 76ers? Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving went live on Instagram to clear the air. He did not and still win not play until further notice. Plus, Dwayne Wade's son Zaire signs with the Jazz's G-League affiliate and opening night picks!

In this episode of Triple Zeros, Russell Wilson is in danger of missing his next start for the first time in his NFL career. He banged his right hand on the helmet of Los Angeles Rams defender Aaron Donald on Thursday Night Football. Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio had some pointed words for Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh after the latter made sure to break a league record at the end of their blowout victory. Elsewhere, Urban Meyer is flaming out just like many thought, and possibly even worse after a video of him at a bar surfaced this week.  On the NBA side, Toronto is imposing strict COVID restrictions that could lead to jail time if violated. Kyrie Irving is officially listed as "out/ineligible" for the Brooklyn Nets first home game as he remains against getting vaccinated as Andrew Wiggins said the decision to get the shot wasn't really his. Ben Simmons is "taking note" of the fines levied against him by the Philadelphia 76ers and more!

In this episode of Triple Zeros: Reacting to Thursday Night Football and setting up the Week 4 slate. Among the biggest storylines are Andy Reid's returning to Philadelphia as the Chiefs take on the Eagles for the first time since 2017 and Tom Brady's return to Foxboro as his Tampa Bay Buccaneers take on Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots. Plus the Chicago Bears move to Arlington is big news but secondary to needing a win this weekend as Matt Nagy (and several other coaches) could be feeling the heat. Things turn to the NBA as media day on Monday gave us a ton of soundbites and controversy. Ben Simmons still wants out of Philly and Joel Embiid has thoughts. Karl-Anthony Towns sounds tired of it all, and Zion Williamson insists everything is good down in New Orleans. All of that and much more!

In this episode of Triple Zeros, recapping Thursday Night Football where the Carolina Panthers beat the Houston Texans 24-9 but also lost Christian McCaffrey to a hamstring injury. How long is yet to be determined. Tua Tagovailoa will miss at least one start while Chicago Bears rookie Justin Fields will make his starting debut against the Cleveland Browns. The Detroit Lions doing Detroit Lions things and Rob Gronkowski cleared the air about his study habits. And of course, picks! Things switch over to some quick NBA talk as Ben Simmons isn't the only star seeking a new situation. Oddly enough, the Minnesota Timberwolves are rumored to be interested but could be dealing with their own disgruntled star player in Karl-Anthony Towns. The situation between Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans is also deteriorating rapidly. Could any of these players be on the move soon?

Of course, there is an attempt to atone for last week's bomb with better picks for Week 2.  Things switch over to the NBA as former forward Richard Jefferson says Kevin Durant's Brooklyn Nets are superior to LeBron James' Los Angeles Lakers.

This episode of Triple Zeros starts by recapping the Cowboys-Buccaneers opener on Thursday Night Football making the Antonio Brown-Julian Edelman comparison. Cincinnati Bengals rookie Ja'Marr Chase made an interesting admission (and tweet) following his lackluster preseason. The Baltimore Ravens also saw their entire running back room be decimated in a matter of days prompting them to sign Latavius Murray to the active roster and Le'Veon Bell to the practice squad.

This week's Triple Zeros talks QBs with Jameis Winston and Teddy Bridgewater being named the staters for their respective teams. We also got word first-overall pick Trevor Lawrence will start come Week 1, but Trey Lance and Justin Fields will not. Also discussed is whether or not the Chicago Bears-Tennessee Titans game should even be played with the latter missing nine personnel including Head Coach Mike Vrabel to health and safety protocols. The discussion turns to the NBA Nerlens Noel is suing Klutch Sports for lost earnings while the agency is countersuing for withheld commissions. Kevin Love is also heading towards a buyout apparently. We wonder how he would fit on the Hawks but it's presumed he will end up with LeBron James, college teammate Russell Westbrook, and the Los Angeles Lakers.

In this episode of Triple Zeros: The Milwaukee Bucks have knotted up the NBA Finals, but they haven't completely seized the momentum from the Phoenix Suns...yet. All eyes should be on Chris Paul after his poor performance in Game 4. Also, is Giannis Antetokounmpo the best player in the NBA? He's certainly playing like he thinks he so. Elsewhere around the Association, Team USA Men's Basketball lost Bradley Beal and Jerami Grant to health and safety protocols, but it was the reactions of Ja Morant and Trae Young to being left off that were most surprising. On the NFL side, Tome Brady reportedly played the entire 2020-21 season -- that ended in his seventh Super Bowl victory -- with a torn MCL.

This episode of Triple Zeros is heavy on NBA Finals talk as Josh goes into the Milwaukee Bucks chances now that they're down 2-0. He also gives props to Giannis Antetokounmpo for toughing it out through his hyperextended knee. That inevitably led to some Khris Middleton slander but also an acknowledgment that the series is far from over. On the other side, Devin Booker went off in Game 2 after Chris Paul's Game 1 explosion. Can the Phoenix Suns take a game on the road or will the Bucks hold serve at home? Elsewhere around the Association, Chauncey Billups' hiring by the Portland Trailblazer is causing Damian Lillard to catch flack from fans mad over sexual assault allegations from 1997. Could that drive Lillard to find a way out of Portland? Also, three Team USA Select members have gone down with injury and Tokyo is on lockdown due to COVID with less than two weeks until the Olympics are set to begin.

It's the same thing for Devin Booker's Phoenix Suns despite Chris Paul's return throwing off their mojo in Game 3. He doubts the ability of the Clippers to overcome yet another 0-2 deficit, but Game 3 was a good start. Then things switch to non-NBA Playoffs news as several head coaching vacancies were filled.
