S05E01 - "We're All Just Circles, Man..."
The Boys - John, Eric, & David are back in town for the start of a new season to guide you through a big ole hour plus worth of Texas Hoops analysis and general gabbing. Summer League impressions from Wemby and the supporting cast for San Antonio, early impressions of Amen and Cam for Houston/comments on the utter disaster that was the Rockets' asset management this offseason, and a praise for the draft and free agent moves of the Mavericks that turns into a random tangent on The Batman? Not much wrasslin' or rest of the league this week but Texas is kind of our thing.

S04E11 - Drunken Wembymania
A check in with one gleeful and two despondent Texas hoops fans after the lotto and A LOT of rants about the Spurs AND genuine analysis about their insanely different trajectory and set of plans following the ping pongapalooza; checking in with Houston with the Harden reunion rumors heating up + the #4 pick and what the Mavs can do with the 10th pick to pivot towards contention and keep Luka onboard. Lots of drinks, lots of edits, this one was…fun

S4E10 - The Silly Snake
Our three heroes John, Eric & a hilariously sleep-deprived David return for a mock draft just two days before the ping pong balls actually rain down from on high and bless or curse our courageous Texas basketball franchises according to thy will. A quick check in with the final math for Houston, San Antonio & Dallas before a Tankathon spin and then the trio haphazardly armchair GMing the top 14 where some shockers and a wild five spot jump into the top 3 await! Also - one prospect that gives us pause, one that we think is under the radar; Some brief rest of league thoughts and general goofiness as per the norm.

S4E09 - Bold Sweaters Seated Courtside
David and Eric link up for a two man playoff analysis special - recorded during the Sixers surprise game 1 victory Monday eve. Quick thoughts on Steph, the rest of the playoffs. Texas topics include Christian Wood appearing out in Dallas, the Spurs hierarchy/draft and free agency strategy, and mentally preparing for losing some favorites as Houston retools towards competency. Fixation on a bizarre courtside sweater choice definitely occurs too.

S4E06 - So, about that Top Ten protection...
John, David and Eric return to discuss the state of the Mavs after Luka's rather impactful postgame comments the other day, map out their path moving forward as it relates to this season and the pick they owe New York and weigh in on just how close this is to a "doomsday clock" situation with their young superstar. A trip around the Tankathon merry go round is the bulk of the rest of the episode with some fun "what if" scenarios involving potential movement from the Spurs and Rockets as well as other teams that ended up in the top five on this spin. Brief wrasslin talk as we ramp up for Mania next weekend and lots of random tangents and "back in our day" asides as per the norm.
