2026 Conference Finals Preview
May 1800:28:33Tap to summarizeThe NBA's version of the final four is all set and ready to roll it out to determine the Western and Eastern Conference Champions. While there are more have's than have not's in this second-to-last round of the NBA postseason, the four teams (or, at least, two of them) had their own share of adventures and volatility going into what might wind up being some highly competitive series. There is not a team in the league (no, not even the defending champions) playing better right now than Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns and the New York Knicks, but can a shockinlgy resilient Cleveland Cavaliers team led by Donovan 'Spider' Mitchell create a tangled web for the Knicks to have to swat their way out of? The Thunder have been equally dominant on both ends, not losing once in the first two rounds, but now they face the one team that was their bugaboo in the regular season: Victor Wembenyama and a young, spunky San Antonio Spurs team. Can the now twice-crowned MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander solve the Wemby puzzle to move on to the Finals? All this and much more! So suit up and take it out Conference Finals style with the NBA-Team!

Transcribe →The Wiz Kids Are All Right
May 1100:42:24Tap to summarizeIn a special episode, THE NBA-Team (Adam Murray and Andrew Riche) live-watch the Super Bowl of tanking NBA Teams: The 2026 NBA Draft Lottery in all of its potentially conspicuous glory! While the tin-foil hat wearers like Andrew had less to discuss this year than the previous two years (when teams outside of the top ten chances won the top pick), there are quite a few fireworks. With the Washington Wizards winning their first number one overall pick since John Wall in 2010, is it time to do the Dougie again and just pick Darryn Peterson now or will they play a game of chicken with A.J. Dybantsa and the team that has coveted A.J. reportedly for years: The second overall Utah Jazz? Which teams karma-wise got punished and rewarded this year by the lottery gods (a.k.a. Adam Silver and Marc Tatum)? And will the new '3-2-1' format starting next year (which we explain) be as effective at preventing tanking as they intend for it to do so? All this and some NBA Playoff talk! So suit up and take it out with the NBA-Team! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Transcribe →Best NBA on NBC Moments Part 2
May 800:50:00Tap to summarizeMore B-B-B-B-B-Basketball!!! While that Roundball Rock theme song hits the ears of NBA fans this year like fine wine, what made the original NBA on NBC such a memorable time other than Michael Jordan and the John Tesh theme? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, THE NBA-Team, have quite a few reasons to discuss in this countdown episode reminiscing about some great Association moments on the Peacock between 1990 and 2002. In part two, we finish off the top 10! Is there a possibility anyone BUT Michael Jordan's last shot in Utah was number one? How did a moment in the All Star Game make the list? REGGIE, REGGIE, and MORE REGGIE? Unfortunately for Knicks, yes. We discuss all this and much more in Part 2! So suit up your retro unis and take it out with THE NBA-Team! Hosted on Acast.

Transcribe →2025-26 Conference Semis Preview
May 400:28:02Tap to summarizeAfter a first round that pretty much had it all (good, bad and whatever the Orlando Magic were doing), the NBA Playoffs moves on to round two. We see a lot of usual suspects and big market teams moving on, but will the road run out of pavement quickly or will we see more wackiness like we did in the previous round? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, THE NBA-Team, are back in the lineup to discuss all four conference semi-final matchups. The Thunder and Spurs mowed down their competition in round one, but will we see a surprising challenge or two from the injury-depleted Lakers and Timberwolves, respectively? Two teams in the Eastern Conference did the rare comeback from being down 3 games to 1, but one was a surprise. Can the Philadelphia 76ers (led by Joel Embiid & Tyrese Maxey) pull off another upset against an offensively dominant New York Knicks squad? After coming back from the dead against Orlando, can the Detroit Pistons survive a much more potent scoring threat in the Cleveland Cavaliers? All this and more! So suit up and take it out in episode 390 with the NBA-Team! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Transcribe →2026 NBA Playoffs First Round Preview
Apr 1900:30:15Tap to summarizeThe Play-Outs and Play-In's are finally over, and now the real Playoffs begin... or does it? The first round may not be the most riveting for all eight series in the East and West, but Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, THE NBA-Team, are back to discuss all eight matchups and give their predictions. Will James Harden somehow take the playoff pressure OFF of the underachieving Cleveland Cavaliers? In a series where Luka, LeBron, Durant, and Sengun played more minutes than anyone else in the NBA, is it possible that the bench will determine the winner of the Lakers-Rockets series? Are the San Antonio Spurs REALLY ready for prime time in Victor Wembenyama's playoff debut against the Blazers? All this and much more! So suit up and take it out, playoff style, in episode 389 with THE NBA-Team! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Transcribe →More or Less
Mar 23Tap to summarizeIn this wildly volatile league of teams not trying to win or not trying to win a championship despite making the postseason, are we REALLY sure we want two more expansion teams in the league as the number of franchises that matter seems to actually be shrinking instead of expanding? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, THE NBA-Team, are here to discuss all things expansion, along with some history and geography lessons to boot! They also talk about Cade Cunningham's potentially devastating collapsed lung injury for the top-seeded Detroit Pistons, some NCAA Tournament talk, and more! So suit up and take it out in episode 385 with the NBA-Team! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
