Full Court Press NBA Podcast Episode 91 – Offseason Updates for Philadelphia 76ers and Denver Nuggets / Philadelphia
Full Court Press NBA Podcast Episode 91 – Offseason Updates for Philadelphia 76ers and Denver Nuggets / Philadelphia may have played this offseason conservatively while working through a search for a new GM. But they have very possibly the best young core group of players as any team in the league. They exceed expectations last season by a good measure. Is there room for them to have a better season than they did last season? The Denver Nuggets have an exciting young core as well and perhaps underperformed last season. They continue to be dysfunctional on the defensive end of the court. So they gave a big contract to Will Barton and signed Isaiah Thomas to a contract to be a bench scorer. Will that move the needle for this team at all? All of this and more.

131 - Western Conference Trade Deadline Primer, plus Cousins & Roberson Injuries / Now that the NBA's All-Star draft is in the rear view, the league is fully immersed in the upcoming trade deadline. Teams have until Feb. 8 to make significant improvements or hold full-scale fire sales, and the Association's rumor mill is churning out material on the regular. - Fear not, though, because Hardwood Knocks has your back. In the first of two trade-deadline primers, Andy and Dan go through the nitty gritty for every Western Conference team, proposing trades and providing answers to the most pressing questions. - Which squads will be buyers? Which outfits are shaping up as sellers? Will the Clippers move DeAndre Jordan and Lou Williams? Do the Spurs, Warriors and Rockets have a trade in them? Will the Pelicans make a deal in the aftermath of losing DeMarcus Cousins for the year? Might the Thunder look to replace Andre Roberson after his season-ending injury? Do the Nuggets, Blazers and Jazz have blockbuster deals in them? - Will the Lakers find new homes for Julius Randle and Jordan Clarkson? Should Utah trade Rodney Hood and Derrick Favors? Will the Mavericks, Grizzlies, Suns and Kings all hold fire sales? - All this, and so much more, is just a listen away! - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.

Full Court Press NBA Podcast Episode 51 – Are the Raptors the favorite to make the finals? Team Updates for Pelicans, Grizzlies, Nuggets, P / The Cavaliers had a rough week. Are the Raptors playing better than any team in the Eatern Conference right now? If the playoffs started today would we consider them to be the favorite to win the Eastern Conference finals and make the finals? The Pelicans had some nice results this week? Do they enough depth and diversity on the roster to moves toward the middle of the Western Conference playoff standings? The need to add to their roster. Where do they need to add? The Grizzlies season is more than off track. What should be their objectives for the rest of this season? Why might Tyreke Evans prefers to stay in Memphis for the rest of the season rather than being move to a playoff bound team? The Nuggets are a strange team. Could they get better via subtraction rather than addition? The Pistons are trying to survive in the post Reggie Jackson era (of this season). What should be their objectives for the rest of the season? Why might Avery Bradley prefer to finish the season elsewhere? And who got our awards this week? Listen and find out. All of this and more.

126 - NBA Western Conference Report: HOU/LAL/UTA Falling, LAC/MIN/OKC/PHX Rising / Welcome back, Hardwood Knocksers! - Most of the NBA's teams have officially crossed the halfway threshold of their schedule, which can mean only one thing: Andy and Dan need to hand out midseason report cards. - We start in the Western Conference, where things have gotten a little weird and chaotic and, thus, awesome since our quarterpole grades. The Houston Rockets look human. The Utah Jazz appear finished. The Minnesota Timberwolves are surging. The Oklahoma City Thunder are kind of following suit. The San Antonio Spurs remain the San Antonio Spurs. The Golden State Warriors are still the Golden State Warriors. - The Phoenix Suns are sort of frisky. The Denver Nuggets are disappointing, as expected and exceeding initial impressions all at the same time. The Dallas Mavericks are embodying blah, while the New Orleans Pelicans have prime real estate on Mediocre Boulevard. The Portland Trail Blazers might have turned a corner. The Sacramento Kings and Memphis Grizzlies have not. The Los Angeles Lakers are no longer overachieving. The Los Angeles Clippers are rekindling their playoff hopes. - Almost needless to say, then, we have a lot of ground to cover and less than eternity to cover it.

Full Court Press NBA Podcast Episode 48 – Team Updates for Blazers, Nuggets, Pacers, Hawks / We continue our in-season analysis. How have the Blazers made themselves into a top 5 defense? We explain that it comes down to who is playing at the power forward and center positions and what they are asking their perimeter defenders to do. Have they sacrificed too much on offense to achieve what they are doing on defense? We discuss. The Nuggets are 29th in defensive rating but held the Warriors to 81 points in their matchup this week. What should we make of that? The Pacers might have won more games that some predicted they would on the entire season. We were optimistic about them prior to the season; but how sustainable is this? We still see roster construction issues for them at this point but a second round draft pick could solve a lot of that and it’s a player no one is talking about. Well, we talk about him on this episode. The Hawks are bad. But John Collins has been good. Taurean Prince is showing flashes of growth on offense. Dennis Schroder has been terrible on defense. Can a coach hold a team accountable on defense if their best offensive player is not putting in the effort on the defensive end of the court? We discuss.And who got our awards this week? Listen and find out. Greg cheated again but it’s not a terrible take.All of this and more.Follow us on Twitter: @willis_glen / @LawtonWillis / @presspodcastFollow us on FaceBook: @fullcourtpressnbaLearn more about your ad choices.

And in order to properly ensure the hottest takes, Andy and Dan are calling upon Associated Editor of Salt City Hoops Dan Clayton (@danclayt0n) to join the party. - All 15 squads are covered—in random, speaker's choice order, we might add—so you needn't worry about us leaving anyone out. Among the most pressing questions, though: Have the Golden State Warriors tried hard enough so far to get an A? Are the Houston Rockets the NBA's most serious threat to the Warriors' reign? Are the Oklahoma City Thunder better than their sub-.500 record suggests? - How do we grade the league's most injury-ravaged squads, such as the Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Clippers, Memphis Grizzlies and Utah Jazz? Do the Minnesota Timberwolves deserve a passing grade? Are we prepared to give the Kawhi Leonard-less San Antonio Spurs an A? And what of the West's preeminent tank jobs from the Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings? Are the Dallas Mavericks tanking hard enough? Are the New Orleans Pelicans surprisingly good or right where they need to be? - All this, plus much more, awaits you in Hardwood Knocks' latest.

Your questions were fantastic, and they allowed us to tackle each of the following, among many other queries: - Will the Philadelphia 76ers' sign a big-time free agent this summer now that Robert Covington and Joel Embiid have their extensions? Should they be in LeBron James-or-bust mode? Who else could they chase? - Where does Dennis Smith Jr. rank among the NBA's best teenagers ever? And, perhaps more importantly, where do the rebuilding Dallas Mavericks go from here? - What's up with the NBA-best Boston Celtics? Is their first-place defense sustainable? Is Kyrie Irving actually a good defender now? Is Brad Stevens an alien? Can they end the Cleveland Cavaliers' Eastern Conference reign? And if not them, then which teams can? - Should Charlotte Hornets head coach Steve Clifford be on the hot seat? Would the team consider tearing it down to the studs if things get really bad, perhaps even testing the trade market for 2019 free-agent Kemba Walker? - Which squad's top-five defense is more sustainable: Portland Trail Blazers or Los Angeles Lakers? How many threes are the Houston Rockets shooting? Is Spencer Dinwiddie the greatest player of all time, or is he just better than D'Angelo Russell? - Y'all: Here's the mail. It never fails.

The Grizzlies look like a serious playoff team so far with impressive wins. Is their play sustainable? The Thunder are 4-4 entering play at Portland but look very good at times. Will they find a way to play together but let their star players still be themselves? The Timberwolves still have serious issues on defense it would seem. Are they going to be OK? The Clippers roster is losing a player to injury week by week. Can Blake handle the workload to keep them afloat without risking injury to himself? The Nuggets had a slow start but looked better in week 2. Will they make the progress they are hoping to make? The Warriors are the Warriors. But there are still interesting things upon which to focus. The Lakers and Suns are exceeding expectations in the win-loss column. What should we make of their play to this point in the season?

Nobody knows. Except them. And you.

We even had time to fall in love with the Los Angeles Clippers all over again, question Chris Paul's future with the Houston Rockets, get Andy all worked up about the Utah Jazz and, most importantly, rap about potential Eric Bledsoe trades. - Buckle up kids, and adults with kids, and also adults without kids.

Nikola Jokic's intuitive passing, Gary Harris' off-ball reads and Paul Millsap make for an exciting and promising trio—one founded upon two top-25 stars, Jokic and Millsap, and another top-50 talent in Harris. - And yet, the Nuggets are flawed. They have a bazillion power forwards on the roster and, thus, the most complex frontcourt rotation around. Maybe they get away with leashing Darrell Arthur and rookie Tyler Lydon to the bench, but they must find minutes for the recently re-signed Mason Plumlee and, apparently, increasingly disgruntled Kenneth Faried. - Losing Danilo Gallinari to the Clippers also left a shallow well of wings. Wilson Chandler and Will Barton remain, but the Nuggets must survive with Juan Hernangomez, a should-be 4, playing heavy minutes at the 3. Forcing Harris up a position will also need to be on the table. - And, finally, we have the point guard rotation. Will Emmanuel Mudiay look like an NBA player? Can Jamal Murray parlay modest decision-making out of the pick-and-roll into full-on pass-first mode? Can the Nuggets trade for Eric Bledsoe already? - Adam and Dan tackle all this and much more—including a very disruptive John Collins tangent, because, well, why the hell not? - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.

FCP 031 – Wizards Nuggets Offseason Updates / The Washington Wizards rose in the Eastern Conference in the 2016-17 season
FCP 031 – Wizards Nuggets Offseason Updates / The Washington Wizards rose in the Eastern Conference in the 2016-17 season but the two teams that finished in the top two seeds, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics, and faced off in the Eastern Conference Finals made a trade, that we discussed on last week’s episode, that shifts the near term and longer-term power structure in the conference. Where does that leave the Wizards? They are bringing back the same core with another modest attempt to add bench depth, will it move the needle in one direction or the other? Also, how does the backcourt of John Wall and Bradley Beal rank with the other great backcourts in the league. The Denver Nuggets finally landed their marquee free agent Paul Millsap, the roster around him and the emerging Nikola Jokic is deep. But does the roster construction as it stands today make sense from a fit perspective? There is a gap at the wing, is there a way for the Nuggets to use the resources they currently have to address it?
