We start with a recap of the Finals. Starting at 26:00 we do a snake draft of the best individual Finals performances since 2000. Let us know what you think of the draft format!
Back at it! We take a quick run around the league and commiserate on the current state of the Lakers and Celts. You don't want to miss this!
Back like we never left. We preview the upcoming NBA season. Stay until the end to hear Carl's best bet for the season - guarantee this one isn't being suggested on any other pod
We talk through the Lakers beating the Bucks and Clippers within 48 hours, the Kenny Atkinson firing, and play everyone's new favorite game 'is the slump real'
We talk through the MVP race with 20 games left in the season. Can we even find 10 legitimate candidates? And who should win the award - Giannis or Lebron?
Talking the biggest deals from the trade deadline
-Russell to Wolves, Wiggins to Warriors
-Capela to Atlanta, Covington to Houston
-Morris to Clippers
-Winslow to Memphis, Iggy/Crowder to Miami
We talked through starters and reserves for the All Star game in February. Can you guess who has Melo in consideration for a spot on the West squad?
With the idea for a Midseason Tournament back in the news we wanted to re-release the pod we did this past March with our ideas for a cup tournament. Funny listening back to our thoughts on the Celtics looking good and assuming the Warriors were a lock for the championship. The reddit post mentioned in the intro is here:

We each bring two observations we want to talk through from the first week plus of the season. I could list the topics, but you know it's going to be good..just download and listen.
We're back! We go team by team to talk through NBA over unders right before the season kicks off.
We promised playoff predictions and more at the beginning of the episode, but over unders went long so we'll release those as a part two soon!
We're back talking through the idea for a midseason NBA tournament similar to the European cup structure. Then we discuss all the latest news and notes from the league leading up to the playoffs.
Hosts: Carl, Raul, Ryan
Carl's friend (and noted Lebron fan) Raul hops on to discuss PG's push for the MVP, Klutch's place in the NBA, how we think the Eastern Conference Playoffs will unfold, and much more
Carl and Ryan talk through all the possible trade scenarios for Anthony Davis. Everyone's favorite segment "Carl explains" is back, and make sure to listen to the end to hear Carl get sentimental about his hometown Knicks
We talk through the Raptors crushing the Spurs in Kawhi's first game back in San Antonio, potential trades for Anthony Davis, and run through the standings and look at some potential playoff matchups.
Ryan goes Colin Cowherd for this solo pod recap of the Celts - Wizards OT showdown between Kyrie and John Wall
Durant vs. Kawhi was awesome - we talk through that game and bounce around the league. We also debuted the new hit segment 'Carl explains the tweet' where Carl will explain tweets on my timeline (mostly from NBA players) that I don't understand
Carl and Ryan cover the Celtics vs. Raptors Eastern Conference showdown, how Jimmy Butler will work with Simmons and Fultz on the Sixers, the Draymond KD feud and more.

Joe is out coaching the Longhorns so it's just Carl and Ryan for this Tuesday night pod. We each brought three teams that have surprised and confused us so far this season as we touch on all the big storylines from the first month of the NBA year.
Give us feedback on how to make the pod better!
Throughout the season we're going to record quick reaction pods to national TV games. We recorded this pod after Warriors/Jazz finished up on Friday night (morning) and recapped that game plus Celtics/Raptors from earlier that same night. Give us all your feedback!
Could Lebron actually miss the playoffs? Will the Jazz and Rockets be able to repeat their great regular season performances? Can the Spurs infrastructure survive another big roster change? All that and more on this episode of the Squeeze.
We're back! Carl is dressed in his best onesie as we discuss how the Eastern Conference teams will fare this season
We're back! After quite the hiatus the Squeeze has returned. Joe is crushing it at Texas so our resident Cavs export Ryan Schreiber joins to talk through the huge Cavs/Celts trade from a couple days ago.
We recap the Conference Finals and dive into our Finals preview. Can Lebron go back to back or will Durant be enough to put the Warriors over the top?
Stay tuned at the end for some sound issues we were experiencing before we started the show.
We talk quickly about the Warriors-Spurs and then spend the rest of the time on Cavs-Celts. What can the Celts do to get closer to the Cavs, how valuable are Celts bench guys, and much more!
We recap some of the best series from round 1, discuss what some of the teams who lost should do this offseason, and give our predictions on how the rest of the conference semifinals will shake out
We have Carl on to recap the first week of the playoffs. We spend a lot of time on the OKC vs. Houston series and the MVP battle, but touch on every series and what we've seen so far in each.
We're back! We check back on our preseason win total over under choices, finalize our MVP selections, and preview the first round and give our picks.

We dive right into how things are shaking out with only a couple games to play, discuss our picks for MVP, and take another look into the rest discussion.
We discuss UCONN women's loss, how some players from the men's tournament will translate to the NBA, and investigate seeding in both conferences leading up to the playoffs
We can't agree on anything in this Friday night pod. We cover the playoff races in both conferences, if the NBA should think about reducing the number of games, and how much the regular season body of work translates to playoff performance.
