Contrasting NBA Performances and Personal Fan Frustrations

Verno and Jacoby share their thoughts on the NBA Cup and debate whether the point-differential system is making it hard to follow along (04:08). With a quarter of the season done, the guys debut The Mismatch Awards! But instead of the typical awards, the guys discuss their best and worst teams (13:41), players (28:42), quotes (45:04), and moments (01:00:31) of the season so far.
