We are always psyched to welcome in our good friend Tim Legler to talk all things NBA. It’s been roughly 30 games and we can start drawing some real analysis from this season. So what have we learned and what are we looking at for the rest of the season? Topics include: JJ on Derrick White playing like an NBA All Star, do the Philadelphia 76ers need to win an NBA championship to validate Joel Embiid’s amazing play? Also, does you need to have an elite defense to win an NBA championship and more on the offensive explosion this year, Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers coming down to earth after the IST, how James Harden is adjusting to playing with Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and the Los Angeles Clippers, should the Oklahoma City Thunder make a trade? And finally, why Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics are the best team in basketball right now. Rundown below!
