I didn’t expect y’all to use the last bit of the pod as a wizards roast session
Wait how tf does Liam have so much basketball knowledge as well??
Part of the issue last year for Paolo was coming back from the injury; he said in an interview with The Athletic that his conditioning and confidence were both sapped for a long while after coming back, and even at the end of the season he didn't feel totally in top shape. Hopefully that confidence is back and he starts dominating at the rim.

4.Charlotte

Mo gueye erasure. Hawks will probably be a top five offense. Update: thanks for the Mo Gueye talk
Hey guys, finally someone to say that Orlando did not have a perfect offseason. But still you say Banchero's shot was not good because of situation, and then do not take that into context with KCP-Bane trade. Bane will have one guy glued onto him for the whole season, as the only shooter in the team, and only optimism that I have is the argument that you told that he is a lot more than his shot (as I expect his shot % to drop to 35 in this situation). Still you know your stuff, most of the takes were 100%true.
I really hope the Heat somehow convince Riley to sign off on tanking, I think internal improvement and a lottery pick in this draft could change our entire outlook.
those damn smiles during the intro 😍
