Big news... The Old Man and The Three Things is now available on our main feed! We will be publishing every Monday with JJ and either Tim Legler or Steve Jones and Nekias Duncan of The Dunker Spot. We want to make this THE place for NBA sickos. On today's episode, we're joined by Tim Legler to talk about our Week 1 takeaways from this young NBA season. First up, Tim talks about his biggest x-factor in this entire NBA - Tyrese Maxey and why, given his play so far, The Philadelphia 76ers and Joel Embiid don't need James Harden. Then JJ talks about the thrilling play of Luka Doncic and The Dallas Mavericks and how... they might not actually need tremendous defense to compete. Then JJ talks about how impressed he's been with Jalen Duren and Tim Legler talks about the steady hand of Chris Paul helping with The Golden State Warriors offense. And finally, Tim talks about how much he's loved watching Kristaps Porzingis on The Boston Celtics and JJ praises the undeniable Nikola Jokic and The Denver Nuggets.
