Ep. 055: Big Kick, Plain Scrap
Nick Lowe is not a douche-nozzle …
The Basketball Jones — Episode 055 (.mp3)
On today’s show, Tas and I are joined by Sports Illustrated’s Kelly Dwyer to discuss: the daily life of a NBA writer; his favorite teams and players to watch; the Spurs’ “solidness”; Stern’s facial hair; and much, much — no, trust me, much! — more …
Oh, all that, and we talk throwbacks, All-Star festivities, and who peed in Big Ben’s cornflakes.

Huh? There were no NBA games scheduled last night? At all?
Oh boy…
The Basketball Jones ‘The Fix’ — Episode 054
In today’s show, Tas and I dive deep into our TBJ mailbag to ponder: if LeBron and Boozer are the Players of the Month; why the Spurs get no love; who’d win a game of one-on-one between the two of us, and much, much more… (um, sort of).
Oh, all that, and this is like my Jordan ‘Flu Game’.
Except not.

Kinda Ballin’: The AZ Rankings
When you’re on top of the rankings, you have nowhere to go but down. But when you’re at the bottom of the rankings, you just suck ass. Thus, by process of elimination, the middle of the rankings is the ideal place to be.
Every Tuesday This Thursday, the AZ Rankings lists the four two most ho-hum teams in the league. Why? Because mediocrity is deadly, people. Dead-ly. (And because I’m stupid busy at work…)
Last week it was NOOCH, Washington, Indiana, and Philly. This week…
15. Indiana Pacers: Ah, the grizzled vets of this pointlessness. For the third week in a row the Indiana Pacers make an appearance on the AZ Rankings. I told you they’d always be here. I do love the fact that they’re exactly .500 though; perfectly on “pace” for another 41-41 season of average-ness. (See what I did there?)
16. Washington Wizards: So yin-and-yang it’s scary: Damn near unstoppable at home; winless on the road. Perfect when Agent Zero drops 40+; ass-cakes when he struggles. Their #1 fan can drop $70 on a sick, customized hoodie; can’t afford a digital camera. Sigh.

The Basketball Jones ‘The Fix’ — Episode 053
In today’s show, Skeets and I discuss: the odd-looking Eastern Conference standings; the thriving Magic; the struggling Nets; J.E.’s exprerience at the Raps/Cavs game, and much, much more…
We also analyze absolutely atrocious player styles, hand out our “Whoa boy” fantasy line-of-the-night, and see our never-to-be-seen-again streak come to an end.

Did anyone else catch LeBron’s behind-the-back, off-the-glass, one-handed throw-down in warm-ups last night?
Yes?
No?
If so … vid-e-o?
Please.
