We hope all of these happy NBA stories never end

The Clippers’ dominance, the Lakers’ surprising play, stopping James Harden and much more.

We’re back after missing last week due to scheduling conflicts. That won’t happen again. We promise.

For this episode, we dialed up old friend Michael Pina of Bleacher Report and other places to bounce around the league. Among the topics discussed:

  • Blake Griffin is defending his butt off this year, which is why we think the Clippers’ stifling defense will hold up.
  • What’s gotten into the Lakers? Can Nick Young keep defending like this? Is Julius Randle bound to fall back to Earth?
  • How are you supposed to stop James Harden and the Rockets?
  • How much fun is this DeMar DeRozan scoring explosion?
  • Can we save Anthony Davis from the Pelicans? And is there any hope for DeMarcus Cousins and the Kings?

Those topics, plus more, in this week’s pod.
