    Ditto.. I try to listen daily... Doesn't always happens but the attempt is there. I remember during the streak listening to them after every game just to hear their reactions from about ten on.

    A group of guys (really skeets and tas) who started as a hobby recording before work and now do it as a full time job :)

    This 100%. Daily listening for me, although I prefer Friday's Overdose to Mon-Thur Fix

    How the hell do they make money now since they broke from the media wing of the score and have no affiliation with NBA TV or the like? There's no ads or anything.

    I didn't know there were "experts" not talking about the Lakers, Knicks, Nets, and Heat :confused:

    Thanks a lot, was really nice to hear about the rockets win instead of, "Lakers losing again."

    They did for 3 years for free as a hobby.

    Now they're employed by the Score which is like the Canadian ESPN

    That was entertaining.

    Cool that Rockets are being recognized more and more. :)

    Video sucked. It's like they watched 3 rockets game and now they're talking like they know the team inside and out.

    No, McHale did not make a decision to run in mid December. He made that decision way before training camp. What happened was McHale increased Lin's usage rate and PPat got injured allowing Lin & Harden to initiate plays more.

    And Lin & Harden are not alternating. Lin is now being allowed to be PG instead of a spot-up shooter in the corner. Before, Harden would bring the ball up 60-70% of the time. Now, Lin brings the ball up 90% of the time.

    One of my former coworker working for them(thescore) as a graphic artist. They are a very informed group.

    You're both right. We're running more consistently and more effectively. Lin is playing more minutes without Harden. And he's getting more possessions running the offense.

    Having LOF is one thing but I hope being the it team doesnt imply we get a bunch of bandwagon fans like the heat or lakers

    Whenever you're listening to this in the background, the guy on the far right sounds like a younger Louis CK

    They obviously watch a ton of games and thus more informed on the overall NBA than most major sports network analysts.

    I typically listen after an interesting game/night. So maybe 2 times a week. I agree with everything they said about the Warriors game, compared to the consensus here.
