The Basketball Jones ‘The Fix’ — Episode 091 (.mp3)
In today’s show, Skeets and I discuss: the All-Star starters and snubbings — no Nash, no Dirk, but more Gil; the possibility of a new rule which penalizes flopping; and much, much, more…
We also debate why we use Marc Stein’s ESPN Power Rankings and say hello to John Hollinger’s, hand out our Whoa Boy fantasy line-of-the-night, and free-fall with the start of a new Book It! streak going the wrong way.
