Ep. 208: Vote ‘Toine!
The Basketball Jones — The Fix — Episode 208 (.mp3)
On today’s show, Tas and I discuss: the best game of the season so far (Celtics vs. Magic); whether T.J. Ford’s gunslinger mentality is helping or hurting the Raptors; a ‘lil Kobe/Bulls rumor you may have heard of; and much, much more…
We also throw full support behind voting Antoine Walker to the All-Star game, spite Whoa Boy it up, and wonder where all the Book It haters have gone?

Comments (3)Adidas Brotherhood & Dwight Howard Memories
The man who looks like he’s among boys in the NBA, actually among boys. Meh, just another day at the court for these kids. They might remember pumping Howard out of his shorts (0:54) and stuffing his shot (2:07), but they’ll definitely have nightmares of the soaring beast (2:28).

Miami [-3] over NEW JERSEY
The familiarity factor will help the Heat; they dominate this series. Wade is back, Carter out. Miami is not a 1-8 squad with D-Wade, and NJ is not a 4-5 team without Wince. Miami lost by 1 to powerhouse Boston last night, but when Jersey met the C’s on Wednesday, they were hammered by 22. The Nets are 0-3 and have lost by an average of 16 since Carter went down. .500, HERE WE COME!

Comments (4)Ep. 207: Brokeback Jack
The Basketball Jones — The Fix — Episode 207 (.mp3)
On today’s show, Tas and I discuss: why the Spurs threw the towel in so early against the Mavericks; how comfortable Grant Hill’s starting to look in the Suns’ up-tempo offense; the NBA’s reaction to Phil Jackson’s “Brokeback Mountain” comments; and much, much more…
We also pick our favorite play-by-play announcers, giveaway some Ball Claw prizes, Whoa Boy it up, and set our eyes on .500.

We also Whoa Boy it up, jump on the Wizard’s cover train, and get set straight on the numbers thanks to ESPN’s David Thorpe. Enjoy.

Comments (1)Ep. 205: Where’s Marbury?
The Basketball Jones — The Fix — Episode 205 (.mp3)
On today’s show, Tas and I discuss the latest New York soap opera: Marbury leaving the Knicks. Have we seen Stephon in the orange and blue for the last time? Do any other teams actually want this guy? Who? And what type of gossip does Starbury in fact have on Zeke? So many questions!
We also try and made sense of few teams PG situations, Whoa Boy it up, and hear our Book It pick fail live from the FedEx forum in Memphis.
