Year competition open again? No, but it’s closer than most are making it to be. The Clippers just keep winning. What’s the key to the defensive success? Because the offensive firepower on the bench is unmatched. The Suns are still catching losses after losses. But we still enjoyed watching Devin Booker and the crew this week.

Are they making progress. Also, who got our awards this week?All of this and more.@presspodcast @LawtonWillis @willis_glen @DaneMooreNBALearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Rockets are on a trajectory to potentially be the biggest threat to the Warriors. What do we think after watching them this week? The Pacers keep winning… and winning. What do we make of their performance? Do they have a shot to get past the first round in the Eastern Conference playoffs? The Sixers are really good when Joel Embiid is available. Why is everyone so down on them? We are not. The Bulls are a more fun team than they were earlier in the season. And Otto Porter has been showing out. What did we learn from watching Chicago this week?Also, who got our awards this week?All of this and more.@presspodcast @LawtonWillis @willis_glen @DaneMooreNBALearn more about your ad choices.

The Spurs had a 1-7 road trip prior to this week. The Lakers have been helping keep the door to the playoffs open. We watched to see what the issues are and whether they are in the process of overcoming them. Are they? The Thunder are struggling with the absence of Paul George. What, if anything? The pressure is naturally mounting for the Nuggets. This is new territory for this team. How are they handling it? The Pistons are just wildly inconsistent. Did we see anything that made us think they might be steering towards more consistent good play?Also, who got our awards this week?All of this and more.@presspodcast @LawtonWillis @willis_glen @DaneMooreNBALearn more about your ad choices.

All teams made moves at the deadline. Differing levels of talent involved, but all 4 teams now have a new formula with which to chase success. What did we see when we watch them this week?Alos, who got our awards this week?All of this and more.@presspodcast @LawtonWillis @willis_glen @DaneMooreNBALearn more about your ad choices.

We do a forward-looking analysis of these teams exiting the all-star break. The Wizards are 10 games under .500 but still within reach of a potential playoff spot. Can Beal carry his team the rest of the way with some help from a few veterans and a couple of young guys playing for contracts? The Nets are above .500 and just got the services of Caris LeVert back. It seems unclear when Spencer Dinwiddie will return. They have a critical stretch of games right out of the gate. The Clippers turned their roster over again but seem poised to continue winning games at a similar rate. Will they? The Warriors are the best team in the league. But what are we looking to see from them down the stretch? All of this and more.Follow us on Twitter: @willis_glen / @LawtonWillis / @presspodcastFollow Dane on Twitter: @DaneMooreNBALearn more about your ad choices.

The trade deadline was bonkers but we tried to cover it all.  The Clippers did well in the big picture. The Sixers went in big for this season. The Raptors acquired Marc Gasol for one specific reason. The Bucks could not have added a more useful player. And, of course, there was no Anthony Davis trade.All of this and more.Follow us on Twitter: @willis_glen / @LawtonWillis / @presspodcastFollow Dane on Twitter: @DaneMooreNBALearn more about your ad choices.

Kristaps Porzingis and Anthony Davis are dominating the headlines. But we break down needs and opportunities across the entire league. For example, what does Utah need to add? Does it make sense for the Wizards to stand pat? How do the Sixers add critical depth? We hit on many possibilities.All of this and more.Follow us on Twitter: @willis_glen / @LawtonWillis / @presspodcastFollow Dane on Twitter: @DaneMooreNBALearn more about your ad choices.

The Sixers are still trying to stay attached to the upper tier in the Eastern Conference and have missed Butler and Embiid of recent. They still seem to be in need of a roster adjustment to get there. What did we see this week? The Raptors are very good. Norman Powell is back and helping. But that may seem to be a small thing. Is it? Also, what’s going on with OG Anunoby? The Pacers had a depressing week and will seemingly lean on Tyreke Evans more the rest of the way. Is that going to work at all? Utah ended the week having won 12 of their last 14 games. Have they fixed everything?Also, who got our awards this week?All of this and more.Follow us on Twitter: @willis_glen / @LawtonWillis / @presspodcastFollow Dane on Twitter: @DaneMooreNBALearn more about your ad choices.

The Spurs have turned their season around. But it’s odd to see them lean primarily on their offense. Will that be the formula for the rest of the season and into the postseason? We discuss. The Grizzlies are way off track. What should they do with the rest of their season? We discuss. The Nuggets continue to sit near the top of the Western Conference standings. Do they really believe in themselves? Do we believe in them? What to make of the nearing return of Isaiah Thomas? Is that going to be good for them? The Pelicans can’t seem to keep a single reliable 5-man lineup available. Do we expected them to stick around the pack of teams elbowing each other for the 8th seed in the playoffs? Or do we expect more?Also, who got our awards this week?All of this and more.Follow us on Twitter: @willis_glen / @LawtonWillis / @presspodcastFollow Dane on Twitter: @DaneMooreNBALearn more about your ad choices.

The Lakers are without Lebron, but that made it an even more interesting week to learn about the Lakers. What did we take away from watching them this week? The Bucks are goooooooooddddddd! Are they a contender? Even close? The Kings are so much fun to watch and are taking good step after good step. What is the ceiling for this season? The Pistons win and lose in bunches this season. Can they find something to unluck to deliver more consistency?Also, who got our awards this week?All of this and more.Follow us on Twitter: @willis_glen / @LawtonWillis / @presspodcastFollow Dane on Twitter: @DaneMooreNBALearn more about your ad choices.

The Hornets are hanging around in the Eastern Conference and they are getting solid contributions from the young Malik Monk and Miles Bridges. What are realistic expectations for them. What is the impact of constantly being small at both the 1 and the 5 positions? Lauri Markkanen and Kris Dunn are back and now the Bull significantly more fun to watch. The rebuild is not in its origin they have a number of young players to start building with. How is the coaching staff helping or hurting that? The Knicks need to get back to a cap baseline from which they can build. But it was interesting to watch Emmanuel Mudiay this week. What other Knicks observations did we take away from the week? Lastly, we put the Blazers on the agenda for the episode for the purpose of trying to diagnose what is going wrong. And, well, they only lost one game. What did we learn about Portland this week? Also, who got our awards this week?All of this and more.Follow us on Twitter: @willis_glen / @LawtonWillis / @presspodcastFollow D

The Magic are sitting in the 8th spot in the Eastern Conference. What are they doing that’s working? Is is sustainable? The Heat are playing their best basketball of the season. What changed? Have they fixed what needing fixing? The Mavericks are winning more games than they are losing. How are they making that happen? Is it sustainable? The Suns are 1-9 in games Devin Booker has missed. They are 9.0 points better when he is on the court. They should be better than Atlanta, Chicago, etc. We think we are better than what their record suggests. Why? Also, who got our awards this week?All of this and more.Follow us on Twitter: @willis_glen / @LawtonWillis / @presspodcastFollow Dane on Twitter: @DaneMooreNBALearn more about your ad choices.

The Celtics seem to have found their footing. The have gotten right on offense against a mostly easy stretch in their schedule. There are reasons to feel encouraged about their play. What are they? The Cavaliers picked up a few wins prior to watching them this week. They are still a mess on defense. What observations did we have about their improvement on offense? The Timberwolves are officially in the post-Butler era. What does the new rotation look like? Will they play with confidence in close games? The Thunder are as good as any team in the NBA on defense but they are dead last in three-point shooting. Is that going to be good enough?All of this and more.Follow us on twitter: @presspodcast @willis_glen @LawtonWillis Follow Dane: @DaneMooreNBALearn more about your ad choices.

The Pelicans are scoring the basketball as well as almost any team in the leauge, but they are a bottom 5 defensive team to this point. What’s missing on that end of the court? Where might they be able to turn for some help on that end of the court? The Wizards are a mess up and down the organization right now. They got a couple of wins this week. Will it help? The Clippers are one of the bigger surprise teams in the league so far. Tobias Harris might be an all-star. Montrezl Harrell won’t but he is still a beast. Can they sustain this level of play? We check in on the Hawks in the midst of a 10 game losing streak. What did we learn?Also who got our awards this week?All of this and more.Follow us on Twitter: @willis_glen / @LawtonWillis / @presspodcastFollow Dane on Twitter: @DaneMooreNBALearn more about your ad choices.
