Comments (5)Ep. 074: It’s Not What You Think It Is…
Before I tell you, let me start by saying: It’s not you, it’s us …
The Basketball Jones ‘The Fix’ — Episode 074 (.mp3)
In today’s show, Skeets and I discuss: the NBA standings - the surprise teams of 2006; the teams to look for in 2007; the lack of parity in the L; and much, much more…
We also hand out our Whoa Boy fantasy line-of-the-night, lose focus with our Book It! pick, give away a DVD box set, and wish you well in to the new year because we’re taking a short vacation.
*Note: Skeets and I are just plain sick of each other. JD? I like.

Just how good is this Ivan McFarlin chap?
The Basketball Jones ‘The Fix’ — Episode 072 (.mp3)
In today’s show, Tas and I dissect the Philadelphia-Denver trade in all it’s gooey glory: Can A.I. and Melo co-exist? What happens to J.R. Smith? Does this make the Nuggets instant title contenders? Did the Sixers rush this deal? Are those late-round draft picks really worth anything? And much, much more…
We also hand out our Whoa Boy fantasy line-of-the-night, hear from The Nugg Doctor about Coach Karl’s media attack on Isaiah, and unfortunately lose you a little more Christmas shopping money. (”Yeah, I’m sorry, Johnny. The Basketball Jones killed Santa.”)

Comments (3)Iverson Is A Nugget!
My initial thoughts about the Iverson trade are up at the ‘House, but you can guaran-damn-tee Tas and I will be analyzing this big news in detail on tomorrow morning’s podcast.
Anyway, if you’re game, why not send in your own thoughts and concerns about the trade for the show? (It’d sure make our 5am morning a little more tolerable.)
E-mails are good; voice-mail messages are better. (#:214-5-JONES-1) Thanks in advance…
And oh, we’ll try and air/read as many as we can, so please keep ‘em crisp, clean and short…
Note: Andre Miller, Joe Smith, Eric Williams, Aaron Williams, some draft picks and no ‘Zo for those two guys on the right. Amazing…

The Basketball Jones ‘The Fix’ — Episode 071 (.mp3)
In today’s show, Skeets and I discuss: George Karl’s not-so-nice response to Isiah Thomas; the suspensions handed out by David Stern; theorize why ‘Melo got 15 games; and much, much more…
