Episode notes

Tim Legler and Adam Mares breakdown the best games and biggest stories in the NBA, starting with the Pacers’ controversial win over the Hornets and Rick Carlisle reaching his 1,000th career coaching victory. They discuss the Timberwolves' victory over the Cavaliers, whether Jaden McDaniels is the true X-factor in Minnesota, Anthony Edwards reaching the 10,000-point milestone, and the Jazz's win over the Mavericks. The episode then shifts into a full Eastern Conference power ranking, debating where teams like the Hawks, Cavaliers, Magic, Heat, Raptors, 76ers, Celtics, Knicks, and Pistons truly belong. The show wraps with them discussing whether the Grizzlies could consider moving Ja Morant, and which players belong on the NBA’s All-Disappointment Team.
