Trae Young’s Return Tainted + Mavs SURGING | ALL NBA PODCAST
Adam Mares and Tim Legler break down the biggest NBA games and storylines from around the league, starting with reactions to the New York Knicks winning the NBA Cup and what it means for their season. The guys dive into Trae Young’s return to the Hawks and how it was spoiled by a surging Hornets team, including a deep look at Charlotte’s young core and their shockingly efficient offense. They discuss Jalen Johnson’s rapid development and why he reminds Tim Legler of Kevin Durant, debate the best long term fit next to Trae Young, and analyze the Mavericks staying hot after outlasting the Pistons alongside another standout performance from Cooper Flagg. The show also covers Detroit’s shooting concerns, the Pelicans stunning the Rockets in overtime, the Nuggets’ dominant second quarter run against the Magic, the Suns edging the Warriors in a thriller, and a wildly controversial finish in the Blazers vs Kings game.

Real bad call 📞 against Russ ! How can this stand a review ??
If the Knicks don't celebrate small victories don't hang a championship banner till you three-peat. I mean where do you draw the line. It's a tournament all teams play to win and ONE does. Hang the dang banner!
Look, Murray has no chance of being an all-star, if it is 4 guards from the West. Dude is nice, but Curry takes legacy spot and he's not seeing Luka, Ant, SGA and DBook is just better, he's winning player as a number one option. Also AR numbers are way better than what Murray is doing. And of course don't forget SGA, J Will, Fox, Vassel, Morant, Kyrie, Harden, are all on par. So there's 4 guys he there just aren't in the same conversations as him. And then there's few guys bit better then him and 10 guys on par with him. HOWEVER, if it's 8 guys from "rest of the world", he's in.
LEGLER HAS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE ! (Michael Porter Jr 25.6 ppg).
12:55 Jalen is a lot like Durant. They both quit on teams when the going gets tough. Great comparison.
Tim needs an IT guy to fix his microphone
Great episode, Thinking Basketball recently did an episode about how the NBA has has cut down on calling offensive fouls. Especially push offs and shoving, well worth the watch.
How is legs video and mic so bad
Excellent show guys. Brunson was very tired last night and still managed to come up big at the end. He is a true superstar.
flagg will be a top 25 player by the end of the season, already one of the best 2way players in the league at 18. I think the right hand injury is what's causing his 3pt shooting slump and why he keeps going left at the rim, once that heals up I think we see another jump from him.
Dillon got HOED by the refs in that Lakers game so there's no way I'm putting that "flagrant" on Bron on him. The Steph thing was an F1 and I'm fine with that, felt more like incidental contact trying to brace himself from crashing and burning, the "windup" like Adam said looked to be more embellishing. Keeping it a buck, if the refs didn't have such a hate boner for Dillon that call would have just been common foul without the Warriors getting the ball back after the FTs.
NBA Cup is MEANINGLESS… Give me a break.
They should stop trying to convince all of us that it does.
Throwaway season? Pelicans are out of the play in by 5 games with 50+ games left. Man what are we really talking about, these dudes don’t watch the games.
Tim Legler helping Mavs fans heal. 🙏
Cooper Flagg brings energy on both ends of the floor. There aren't many people that hustle as much as him. When he starts hitting his 3s he will be a serious ALL NBA Team player
Tim keeps breaking up he's not completing sentences!
Show some respect Legler; there’s no way you’d be satisfied with this audio quality if Bill or Zach summoned you .
didn't mention Luka's 40 point triple double, people only want t otalk about the lakers when there is drama and don't care when actual basketball related topics arise
Jalen Johnson is more LeBron than KD if anything
To me this cup banner thing is so revealing. Knicks made the right call, and if you don’t agree you just don’t get it, you just don’t know.
Problem with the Dallas pistons game is consistency. Dallas was just as physical but Goble swallowed his whistle after ejecting ausar and even before. Dallas had nearly double the ft attempts.
Flagg, AD, Max Christie and a first for Luka is a good trade. You can’t convince me the league didn’t promise them #1 overall. It’s happened 2 prior times since 2012 with players traded to
An LA team and the next draft that team moved up in the lottery to get #1 overall. It’s the only reason this trade makes sense and Nico isn’t an idiot.
Legs with the SOFT refs take😂
I LOVE Legs. Hardcore fan, but audio quality so frustrating, I may stop listening in future LOL…cheers mates, from Sydney Aus!
Positive Mavs talk, im here for it. Enjoy hearing Legler talk about his former team. Please help Coop with his 3 pt shot this offseason that’s all he needs! 🙏🏾
Ime Udoka has no poise. Sengun complains to the refs as much as Luka if not more. And they have no floor general. Recipe for disaster.
@44:16 I'm over the Luka trade. I was over it the day we won the lottery. I understand how special he was in Dallas & he was my favorite player, but he said it himself, he's moved on. If you can't move, then you probably shouldn’t be watching sports
Rockets need a scoring PG or they will be a first round exit
25:04 …….Mavs at 24:50……
Will we see Kyrie this year?
If we do this team could be the 2nd or 3rd best offense in the nba.
AD-Kyrie-Flagg-PJ and either Christie or Naji could consistently score 120-130 points EVERY GAME in March and April. NOT IN THE PLAYOFFS but in the regular season they could be the best scoring offense by the end of the year.
i’m getting tired of the “game was decided on the last 20 sec” and not the first 47:40. refs make bad calls all game long it’s a part of life
