Marc and I are back, finally, talking about the NBA. We recorded this on Friday, a day removed from the Heat advancing to the Finals. We discuss the two Conference Finals series that ended, Mike Brown going to the Lakers, what to expect from Dallas/Miami, and more.
There is not as much J.J. Barea talk as you might expect.

We tried something a little different this week. Sir Julian Guy-McCarvill III constructed a challenge whereby each of us podcasters picked one of three dudes at each position/role to build a team. It was weird, but fun. Enjoy!
After the jump, view our teams and vote for mine!
As the regular season winds down, we take a look back at who’s been surprisingly good/bad, where we went wrong with our preseason predictions, and… yeah… we talk about the MVP thing. To be a bit different, we forced ourselves to argue for candidates we wouldn’t actually vote for.
The cast of characters: James Herbert, Julian Guy-McCarvilll, and John Bennett. Eric Wagman was there in spirit.
Marc and I are back with more Shammpoddery. He’s just returned from a basketball-less business trip to L.A., so I catch him up on what he’s missed in the NBA.
Topics include, but are not limited to: The Miami Heat, the Philadelphia 76ers, the Memphis Grizzlies’ facial hair, the Miami Heat, HDNet, hamburgers, the Atlanta Hawks, the Miami Heat, Tony Allen’s sanity, the Miami Heat, and the Miami Heat.

Podcast-enhancing material:
Krolik on LeBron being disappointing in the regular season
Ziller on the Heat not forcing turnovers
Dean Oliver on dribbling
Gallo’s awesome defense
Andre Iguodala’s awesome defense
Notes: Spencer Hawes is boring, I think Marc owes the city of Atlanta an apology, we probably swore too much, and it runs just over an hour.
We’re still not on iTunes. This is entirely our fault. This situation will be rectified.

Can’t believe I had to miss this podcast. Julian, Wagman, and John held it down, though. They went through each of the big deadilne deals, starting with the one that has Deron Williams all smiley in the picture above.
The runtime is 29:08.

Spoilers: Wagman absolutely rips into Robert Sarver… and if you thought he was done with the Kings last week, you were wrong. Somehow.
P.S. I would have argued against the franchise tag idea if I was there. Dammit.
Two podcasts!
It feels like a billion years since we recorded Episode 19 of The OTN Podcast. It was really Thursday, but only two actual NBA games have been played since then, so it’s not THAT out of date.
In that one, we cover the Lakers, Blazers, some other Western teams, and what we’re looking forward to after the All-Star break. Wagman ripped into Tyreke Evans and Julian shared his favourite Corey Maggette nickname. The runtime is 23:43.

Now, Pod Shammpod – Marc and I recorded this yesterday and it might be the last podcast recorded before the Carmelo saga ended. We had a discussion about NBA fandom inspired by this Shoals piece on Derrick Rose and meandered our way to Saturday’s dunk contest and the upcoming trade deadline. The runtime is 50:15.
You know what the world needs? MORE NBA PODCASTS. Marc Juliar and I are happy to oblige.
In the first episode (recorded Wednesday afternoon), we discuss how we got into basketball, how we follow the NBA now, and the in-arena experience. Eventually we get to talking about point guard defense and the struggggling Gilbert Arenas. There’s some Bulls/Celtics/Lakers talk, too. The runtime is 50:50.
Oh, and it’s NSFW because we swear a little.
