This week on the show, Kevin and Phil talk about:
- Matt Barnes, who is finally starting to find his rhythm, and who has stepped in as a starter as of late.
- The Grizzlies are picking up the pace and moving the ball around more than in the past.
- The impact that steal rate and defensive effort have on the Grizzlies’ offensive production and the Grizzlies’ poor 3-point defense.
- The Sixers almost got their first win against the Grizzlies because they don’t play as hard against bad teams.
- Why the Philadelphia rebuilding process seems to be going off the rails: What are they doing that isn’t working?
- Why having leadership on a team full of young guys is important for player development.
- Philadelphia’s GM came from Houston; is the lack of leadership in Philadelphia’s locker room similar to Houston’s leadership problems with Howard and Harden?
- Should the NBA adopt relegation? (Phil said “regulation” but we were both pretty tired so we’ll let that slide) How would that work?
