Episode notes

Adam Mares and Jason Timpf break down the biggest NBA games and storylines, starting with the Toronto Raptors’ hot streak and their statement win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. They discuss whether the Raptors can sustain success without a true superstar, the rise of Jalen Johnson, and the league-wide trend of players sacrificing for team success. The duo debates which early-season surprises are real, from the Suns vs Trail Blazers to the Bucks vs Warriors and Pistons vs Spurs, before projecting the top five NBA players in five years and asking the question: will Nikola Jokić still be dominating the league then?
