No Look Pass Podcast: (Episode 36) NBA Draft Extravaganza – 6/21/16

Wednesday, June 22nd, 2016

NLP

The Cleveland Cavaliers are officially the 2016 NBA champions, but their work may not be done yet. With the NBA Draft approaching, will they make a blockbuster deal for recent champion Kevin Love, or stay pat?

Ben Simmons is the presumed first pick, but there are always steals later on both in and out of the lottery, and we attempt to find the diamonds in the rough. We also remember past draft predictions that we nailed in the past, and a couple of regrets.

No Look Pass Podcast: (Episode 35) NBA Finals – Can the Cavs Out-History Make The Warriors?

Monday, June 20th, 2016

NLP

LeBron James and Kyrie Irving, among the raucous Oakland crowd, pulled off an incredible Game Five performance to take the series back to Cleveland. The question is: did they expend everything they had doing so, and do they have enough in the tank to duplicate that at home in game six?

The Warriors have Draymond Green back in the lineup, but have lost Andrew Bogut for the rest of the series. Are they healthy enough to take back the momentum from the surging Cavaliers?

No Look Pass Podcast: (Episode 34) Are the NBA Finals Over Already? – 6/6/16

Tuesday, June 7th, 2016

NLP

The Warriors have not looked back from their 3-1 comeback in the Western Conference Finals against the OKC Thunder, and have demolished the Cavaliers in the first two games of the NBA Finals. Is it fair to already consider the Finals over, or can the Cavaliers do anything to turn it around and make it a competitive series?

The hosts will also flash back to some decisions the Cavs and LeBron James have made and see if they would change anything that has gotten them to this point.

No Look Pass Podcast: (Episode 33) NBA Conference Finals Review/NBA Finals Preview – 5/30/16

Tuesday, May 31st, 2016

NLP

The 2016 NBA Western Conference Finals will go down as one to remember, and it may have left us with more questions than answers. The hosts will attempt to answer some of them, like where the comeback ranks, was it an upset, and what does it ultimately mean for the future of Kevin Durant?

After they pay their respects to the departed OKC Thunder and Toronto Raptors, the focus will be all things NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Does either team benefit from having played last year in the Finals against one another? What is on the line for the legacies of the various superstars? How many hours will JR Smith stay awake straight if he is a champion?

Monday, May 2nd, 2016

NLP

The Toronto Raptors had never won a seven-game series until last night, if you want to call what they did winning. Maybe survival is a better term...

Regardless, they are on to round two to face the Miami Heat, and the hosts will discuss how they got there, along with what they expect in the second round in all four series, as they also bid their farewells to the eliminated teams, and give a quick rundown of what to expect from the departed squads going forward.

Thursday, April 28th, 2016

NLP

The first round of the NBA Playoffs is almost in the book, and some teams have already joined those who did not advance home on the couch to enjoy the postseason with the rest of us. The hosts will focus on those teams, and see what is next for the Memphis Grizzlies, Dallas Mavericks and Detroit Pistons.

Also, there are series still in the air, and the hosts will make what they can on those competitive matchups. And oh yeah, STEPH CURRY AND CHRIS PAUL ARE HURT.

Wednesday, April 20th, 2016

NLP

The early story of the first round to the NBA playoffs has been the blowouts, as the favorites are beating up on the competition.

No Look Pass Podcast: (Episode 26) Will The Golden State Warriors Make NBA History?

Wednesday, April 13th, 2016

NLP

As the NBA regular season draws to a close, all eyes are on Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors in their chase for 73 wins, which would break the single season NBA record set by the Chicago Bulls during the Michael Jordan era. Will the Warriors pull it off, and what does that mean for their legacy? Can we declare them a dynasty if they go back-to-back? How many half-court shots does Curry need to hit before he just puts it in his array of shots? What would Klay Thompson look like on his own team?

Plus, the hosts will discuss unexpected playoff storylines, like the Lance Stephenson revenge tour, the possibly wide open Eastern Conference, and Stan Van Gundy's mustache resurgence.
