Stupid Norman Powell.  The man couldn't hit the backboard before tonight, but his 13-point fourth quarter leads a double-digit comeback for the Clippers to knock off the Cavs.  Bob Schmidt discusses the loss, and then assesses the NBA Offseason trades and how they've worked out 10 games into the season.

Matt Stroup, Jonas Nader and Dr. A highlight some of the key waiver wire pickups to consider in fantasy leagues right now, including Larry Nance Jr. — who's finally emerging for Portland — and Kevin Huerter, who's got a big opportunity ahead of him with De'Andre Hunter injured in Atlanta.  Plus, our expectations for Huerter's teammate Cam Reddish, Nassir Little, Chimezie Metu and a number of other options.

Ryan Knaus, Raphielle Johnson and Matt Stroup continue our series of NBA division previews with a fantasy-centric look at the Southeast. We discuss what to expect from the Hawks shooting guards and small forwards (Bogdan Bogdanovic, De'Andre Hunter, Kevin Huerter and Cam Reddish) in terms of playing time and production. Plus, our outlook for players including LaMelo Ball, Bradley Beal, Daniel Gafford, Miles Bridges, Mo Bamba, Jonathan Isaac and Kyle Lowry — who becomes a scary but intriguing fantasy proposition with a new team at age 35.

On the eve of the NBA Finals, Dr. A and Matt Stroup discuss what to expect when Chris Paul, Devin Booker and the Suns meet Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday (maybe Giannis Antetokounmpo) and the Milwaukee Bucks. Plus, with the Hawks eliminated/headed to Cancun, we go player-by-player through the Atlanta rotation, breaking down our expectations for Trae Young, John Collins, Bogdan Bogdanovic, De'Andre Hunter, Clint Capela, and of course — Cam Reddish.

In the aftermath of the Bucks’ big Game 5 victory over the Hawks in the Eastern Conference Finals, Ryan Knaus, Raphielle Johnson and world-ranked Golden Tee player Steve Alexander join Matt Stroup to highlight what went right for Milwaukee (a lot of Brook Lopez and Bobby Portis), and the issues that derailed Atlanta (too many turnovers, no rebounding, no Trae Young). Plus, with the Clippers season officially over, we debate our expectations for their key players in fantasy next season, including Paul George, Kawhi Leonard (if in L.A.), Reggie Jackson and Marcus Morris.

After a wild night in Atlanta where the Hawks won without Trae Young, and the Bucks lost Giannis Antetokounmpo to a knee injury, Steve Alexander and Matt Stroup break down some of the key moments and performances from Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, including huge nights from Lou Williams and Bogdan Bogdanovic, and a big spark off the bench for Cam Reddish. We also look at what went wrong for the Bucks, with matching 6-for-17s from Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton, and their blueprint for success if Giannis is indeed out. Plus, what to expect from the Western Conference Finals as Chris Paul, Devin Booker and the Suns try to close out Paul George, Reggie Jackson and the Clippers on Wednesday night in Phoenix.

After another eventful weekend in the NBA Conference Finals, Steve Alexander joins Matt Stroup to look at the latest from the Bucks-Hawks series in the East and the Clippers vs. the Suns in the West. We discuss how things turned late in Game 3 in favor of the Bucks, with Trae Young's bizarre ankle injury — stepping on a referee's foot — and Khris Middleton's 20-point 4th quarter en route to a 38-point masterpiece. Plus, the pivotal call that put John Collins into foul trouble, shooting struggles for Bogdan Bogdanovic, and brainstorming new (some would say obvious) options for defending Giannis Antetokounmpo. Meanwhile in the West, Chris Paul and the Suns took a 3-1 lead over Paul George and the Clippers, and we look at Phoenix's chance to reach its first NBA Finals since 1993.

Another week means another new episode from your Sports Lordz. This week we open the show wishing a happy belated Daddy’s Day to all the good daddies out there and we get into a truly knowledgable and fully factual discussion of musicals. As if that wasn’t bad enough, we continue to alienate our audience as we spend a lot of time discussing our beloved Atlanta Hawks as they eliminate the Philadelphia 76ers on their way to the Eastern Conference Finals. Look, we’re very excited about this team and we look back at all the cool comebacks and plays in our own dumb way. We then look back at the rest of the NBA playoffs and preview the upcoming series in both the West and East. Later, we get into some Major League Baseball talk and look at the standing around the league, discuss the new sticky stuff rule enforcement, and shout out a few stars. We wrap up the show with some odds and ends including the partisan war on Wikifeet and more discussion of musicals.

Matt Stroup and Steve Alexander highlight some of the most serviceable and intriguing fantasy basketball waiver wire additions, discussing the fallout from injuries to Russell Westbrook, Thomas Bryant and Bogdan Bogdanovic — and what it means for Deni Avdija, Cam Reddish and Kevin Huerter. Plus, what to expect from Hamidou Diallo, Gary Harris, Tyrese Maxey and Justin Holiday after all of them have posted strong stat lines recently.

In one of the most entertaining games of the season, the Hawks fell to the Boston Celtics. Forrest talks about the Hawks highlights in a game where only 9 Hawks played.

Come Join the Kettle!

Matt Stroup and Steve Alexander rip through the week's most intriguing waiver wire pickups, including Kevin Huerter, Tim Hardaway Jr. (who went off on Sunday night), Elfrid Payton, Ben McLemore, Jakob Poeltl and a bunch of rookies — among them Jaxson Hayes.

Trae is amazing and Red Velvet get the Hawks to overtime, but it isn't enough for the team from Atlanta to get a win. Forrest looks at the Hawks vs Blazers game, the standout, of course a focus on the fledglings, and looks forward to the game against the Denver Nuggets. What started as a slogfest turned into a very fun game.
