I bring 15 years of basketball experience at every level. I was a Manager with Santa Monica College and USC Men’s Basketball (1999-2005), and the Associate Head Coach at Santa Monica College Men’s Basketball team (2005-2006). After that I spent the following 8 years as Video Coordinator in the NBA with the Los Angeles Clippers (2006-2009, 2011-2014) and San Antonio Spurs (2009-2011). During my time in the NBA, I spent 3 off seasons as a member of the Australian National Men’s Basketball team (2010-2012) including qualifying for and taking part in the 2012 London Olympics.
Tas Melas from the Starters, joins me to talk about the importance of the Toronto Raptors making their first ever finals. What it means for the city and country. Of course we also previewed the final series.
The great Zach Harper from the Athletic and Count the Digs network, joined me to talk about the NBA playoff, how we evaluate young players, the Los Angeles Lakers coaching search, and of course we talked some John Wick 3.
The Athletic's Alykhan Bijani joins me to talk about the Texas Triangle teams. We start off diving into the San Antonio Spurs recent woes and if we should be worried about them going into the playoffs. Then we talked the Dallas Mavericks, where I might have hijacked the conversation to talk about my love for Jalen Brunson! Plus we talked about the Rookie of the Year battle between Luka Doncic and Trae Young. Then we got into the Houston Rockets chances against the Warriors and their lack of creativity.
Program Note, we didn't discuss what is going on with Kristaps Porzingis' allegations since we don't have a lot of information.
