In a special episode, THE NBA-Team (Adam Murray and Andrew Riche) live-watch the Super Bowl of tanking NBA Teams: The 2026 NBA Draft Lottery in all of its potentially conspicuous glory! While the tin-foil hat wearers like Andrew had less to discuss this year than the previous two years (when teams outside of the top ten chances won the top pick), there are quite a few fireworks. With the Washington Wizards winning their first number one overall pick since John Wall in 2010, is it time to do the Dougie again and just pick Darryn Peterson now or will they play a game of chicken with A.J. Dybantsa and the team that has coveted A.J. reportedly for years: The second overall Utah Jazz? Which teams karma-wise got punished and rewarded this year by the lottery gods (a.k.a. Adam Silver and Marc Tatum)? And will the new '3-2-1' format starting next year (which we explain) be as effective at preventing tanking as they intend for it to do so? All this and some NBA Playoff talk! So suit up and take it out with the NBA-Team! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

More B-B-B-B-B-Basketball!!! While that Roundball Rock theme song hits the ears of NBA fans this year like fine wine, what made the original NBA on NBC such a memorable time other than Michael Jordan and the John Tesh theme? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, THE NBA-Team, have quite a few reasons to discuss in this countdown episode reminiscing about some great Association moments on the Peacock between 1990 and 2002. In part two, we finish off the top 10! Is there a possibility anyone BUT Michael Jordan's last shot in Utah was number one? How did a moment in the All Star Game make the list? REGGIE, REGGIE, and MORE REGGIE? Unfortunately for Knicks, yes. We discuss all this and much more in Part 2! So suit up your retro unis and take it out with THE NBA-Team! Hosted on Acast.

After a first round that pretty much had it all (good, bad and whatever the Orlando Magic were doing), the NBA Playoffs moves on to round two. We see a lot of usual suspects and big market teams moving on, but will the road run out of pavement quickly or will we see more wackiness like we did in the previous round? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, THE NBA-Team, are back in the lineup to discuss all four conference semi-final matchups. The Thunder and Spurs mowed down their competition in round one, but will we see a surprising challenge or two from the injury-depleted Lakers and Timberwolves, respectively? Two teams in the Eastern Conference did the rare comeback from being down 3 games to 1, but one was a surprise. Can the Philadelphia 76ers (led by Joel Embiid & Tyrese Maxey) pull off another upset against an offensively dominant New York Knicks squad? After coming back from the dead against Orlando, can the Detroit Pistons survive a much more potent scoring threat in the Cleveland Cavaliers? All this and more! So suit up and take it out in episode 390 with the NBA-Team! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

so now the first round of the playoffs are in full swing, it’s time to do some spring cleaning of some unused bonus content. This week Andrew and adam talk about local NBA players….. grew up, went to school, then played for NBA in their hometown. Pt 1 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Play-Outs and Play-In's are finally over, and now the real Playoffs begin... or does it? The first round may not be the most riveting for all eight series in the East and West, but Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, THE NBA-Team, are back to discuss all eight matchups and give their predictions. Will James Harden somehow take the playoff pressure OFF of the underachieving Cleveland Cavaliers? In a series where Luka, LeBron, Durant, and Sengun played more minutes than anyone else in the NBA, is it possible that the bench will determine the winner of the Lakers-Rockets series? Are the San Antonio Spurs REALLY ready for prime time in Victor Wembenyama's playoff debut against the Blazers? All this and much more! So suit up and take it out, playoff style, in episode 389 with THE NBA-Team! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The postseason is upon us in the National Basketball Association, but it is fair to say that the regular season has been all but done for more than half the league, and other half are still ramping up for what may amount to a not-so-thrilling first round in the NBA Playoffs. But despite the lack of excitement in the last month of the season, Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, THE NBA-Team, are back to find the diamonds in what was a pretty rough, tank-tastic stretch. Why do we both think this will be one of the most active coaching carousels in NBA history, with some possible surprise firings? Did the Chicago Bulls dig their own grave years before their front office was finally let go this past week? How did we do on our preseason over-under predictions? All that, and much more!

The NBA seems to be holding out for some heroes going into their ever-important postseason, but it feels more and more like teams and players are holding out in the regular season out of fear of getting injured before the playoffs like Luka Doncic did this past Thursday. But what downside are we more willing to have if available superstars in the playoffs means players missing the 65-game threshold and not getting All-NBA honors? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, THE NBA-Team, are back together to talk about the final steps of the plodding death march of this regular season and what players may or may not actually be ready to go by mid-April. Is Jamahl Mosley on borrowed time in Orlando or can he salvage his damaged relationship with his struggling star player Paolo Banchero? Are the Bucks and Giannis Antetokoumpo also on the verge of a divorce, or is a top draft pick and new hefty extension on the horizon? Why is the East play-in so much more fascinating than the West play-in? (Might have something to do with the red-hot Hawks and Hornets) So suit up and take it out in episode 387 with the NBA-Team!

When there are more stories about the NBA Players Association and Adam Silver and the League itself rather than the Players and the Performances...and the alleged push towards the playoffs that was supposed to happen, that's not a good sign of where things are right now. First Adam talks about Anti-Tanking, Anti-Load Management and the "65 game" rule that has disqualified a true contender, then Andrew and Adam talk through some Western Conference Playoff matchups. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this wildly volatile league of teams not trying to win or not trying to win a championship despite making the postseason, are we REALLY sure we want two more expansion teams in the league as the number of franchises that matter seems to actually be shrinking instead of expanding? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, THE NBA-Team, are here to discuss all things expansion, along with some history and geography lessons to boot! They also talk about Cade Cunningham's potentially devastating collapsed lung injury for the top-seeded Detroit Pistons, some NCAA Tournament talk, and more!
