NBA At The Bar

Have you ever felt the electric jolt of excitement when a star player like Ja Morant hits the court after an injury? Well, Gene Money and I, TA, bring that same energy to our latest episode, where we dissect the twists and turns of the NBA season, with a special focus on Morant's return to the Grizzlies. We get personal here, discussing how injuries like Morant's resonate beyond the stats and highlights, and look at the potential gains for Memphis—a silver lining in the form of a higher draft pick and a healthier roster for the next slam dunk of a season. Plus, we throw down on the leadership roles of players like Marcus Smart and Bain, who are stepping up big time for the team.
Let's talk about dreaming big - the Los Angeles Clippers are aiming for nothing less than championship glory, and we're here to break down whether Kawhi Leonard can lead them there. We take a shot at predicting the future of the 'big four' and how Steve Ballmer's deep pockets could keep this dream team together.
