Let's a get a thread going for quality NBA podcasts. To begin, what are some of the best, up to date podcasts for the playoffs? Anyone know any podcasts discussing round 2 match ups? Please link.
There are two good DAILY NBA podcasts 1) The Starters 2) ESPN: NBA Lockdown other than that, the Grantland/Simmons stuff - BS report, Ball Don't Lie, Jalen and Jacoby, and Bill Don't Lie. There can be some entertaining stuff on NBA:After Dark too but they hate on the Rockets.
- Clutchfans - Rocketcast Live - Lowe Post - Bill don't Lie - BS report - The starters - ESPN: NBA lockdown - NBA.com hangtime
Jalen and Jacoby! I've grown to respect Jalen Rose a lot more after starting to listen to his podcasts
Really like Zach Lowe as the interviewer on his own show, he's had some excellent interviews, especially the one with Dudley which may have been the best interview I've ever heard with an NBA player. I listen to Bill Simmons a lot too, but to be honest, Lowe and Simmons together are nearly unlistenable. Bill is meant to be entertaining and Lowe is dry as hell. The two of them together is just Bill saying ideas and Lowe agreeing with them, thats every single podcast between the two. Bill and Jalen, Bill and Stein, Bill and Harablos, Bill and Joe House, all of them are really fun to listen to. Bill and Zach though, can't do it.
My personal favor is that Bill throw out some idea for fun, and Zach doesn't get it and point out the obviously flaw in Bill's idea, and Bill is bored/embarrassed and trying to change topic, and Zach realized he killed fun and insisting on Bill to throw more ideas, LOL
Eye on Basketball is severely lacking from any lists here. Used to love The Basketball Jones and I still mostly listen, but The Starters isn't as good. Go get Eye on Basketball. Zach Harper and Matt Moore are great.
Here's a good one with Sam Amick (short) http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/05/nba-a-to-z-podcast-conference-finals-preview-draft-lottery-preview And a fantastic one with Nate Duncan + Bob Voulgaris <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-partner="tweetdeck"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/DuncdOn?src=hash">#DuncdOn</a> Pod: <a href="https://twitter.com/NateDuncanNBA">@NateDuncanNBA</a> and special guest <a href="https://twitter.com/haralabob">@haralabob</a> breakdown how the Rockets came back against the Clippers: <a href="http://t.co/j2J3flSeFM">http://t.co/j2J3flSeFM</a></p>— RealGM (@RealGM) <a href="https://twitter.com/RealGM/status/600323210429779968">May 18, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
