In this episode, we discuss the marquee game of early NBA season between the Boston Celtics and the Cleveland Cavaliers, Jayson Tatum's MVP campaign, the hysteria surround Luka Doncic's slow start, the Jokic shaped hole in Denver, and the impact of Dalton Knecht on the Lakers season.

In this episode, we talk about Jason Kidd and his (ill-fated) efforts to reinvent Luka, JJ and DLO, Chet and the looming storm in OKC.

We do a deep dive into the Jokic's ridiculous start to the season, Wemby's equally ridiculous start to the season (for different reasons), and the absolutely RIDICULOUS start to the season in the Eastern Conference.

In this episode, we run through a few quick takes:

• Undefeated Cleveland
• Ant's 3-point shooting due to Randle spacing problems?
• Memphis' interesting start with unexpected contributors
• Problems on the horizon for Chet and the Thunder

Next, we dive into some surprising slow and fast starts from star players, struggling teams, and teams ready to hit the panic button:

• Luka puts up big numbers while mall walking
• AD playing like an MVP under JJ; helps unlock entire team
• Wemby is a great post player that thinks he's a 2 guard
• Bucks are a five-alarm dumpster fire
• Pelicans are pure, unadulterated chaos from top to bottom
• Nuggets need to course correct—quick!
