No Look Pass Podcast: (Episode 40) Solving NBA Offseason Blues – Summer League and… WNBA?

Wednesday, July 20th, 2016

NLP

The NBA is officially in the off-season, with even free agency signings slowing down, and it is time to find other outlets for your hoops habits. Thankfully, the Summer League is in motion, and the 2016 Olympic Games will cushion the blow slightly. However, we are looking for a more permanent solution, and have tried to give the WNBA a look to see how it compares to the pro game, and ponder whether a "WNBA Select Team" could compete in the Summer League.

But then, it's back to the big leagues, as we discuss what exactly the Thunder should do with Russell Westbrook, and hit the trade machine to see if we can come up with some destinations for the superstar point guard.

With Kevin Durant choosing to form a dynasty-destined team in Golden State, the ramifications will perculate throughout the whole league. What does it mean for the Warriors, the Thunder, and the league as a whole? Who are the biggest winners and losers of the deal? How long did it take for Russell Westbrook to delete Kevin Durant's phone number?

The Kevin Durant decision, believe it or not, is only one of the things going on in the NBA, as free agency is in full swing. What signing surprised us the most? And is the controversy over free agent money fair or foul?

No Look Pass Podcast (Episode 22): These are NOT Your Tom Thibodeau Chicago Bulls – 3/7/16

Wednesday, March 9th, 2016

NLP

The traditional layout of the Eastern Conference in the last 5-10 years has heavily involved the Chicago Bulls as a potential contender for the championship. However, this season sees them struggling to even get into the race, let alone win it. What exactly has gone wrong in Chicago, and why are they hovering around .500? Will Derrick Rose ever be an all-star again? What do they miss more: Joakim Noah's defense or his ponytail?

The hosts will also discuss the most competitive regular season award, and the prospects of Kevin Durant leaving OKC, given their recent big losses against teams they will likely have to beat in the playoffs.

Welcome to "The Mad Scientist's Sports Lab", the 2015 Online Media Award Winning Podcast by What A Fan, sponsored by DeWalt Brewing Company, and hosted by "The Mad Scientist of Sports" Nick Ficorelli and "The Nutty Professor" Andrew Gluchov.

At the onset, we welcome our special guest, former NFL All-Pro Offensive Tackle and one of the hosts of NFL Radio on Sirius XM, Brad Hopkins, to talk about the NFL Draft and who he sees making the big moves to get the players they need. Then we welcome Blue and Gold Sports' Joshua Taylor to talk Big 12 Tournament and some Bracketology leading to March Madness. Up next, we welcome back Turron Davenport of USA Today's Eagles Wire and B Austin of War Room Sports to talk about the upcoming Free Agent market for the NFL. Then we welcome Courtney Harden of "The Real Deal" sports show and Danny Thompson of 96.9 The Game Orlando to talk some NBA - will Golden State break the Bulls' record, is OKC more a paper weight, and what's going on in Cleveland/Chicago, et al?

The beacons are lit, the experiments are on the board, and the test subjects are at the ready. The Mad Scientist's Sports Lab is officially open for business.

No Look Pass Podcast: (Episode 21) Could the Milwaukee Bucks Be TOO Athletic? – 3/1/16

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2016

NLP

Last week, Frank picked the Milwaukee Bucks as a potential second half surprise team, and they did not give his prediction much clout with their performance last week. Will the Bucks continue to disappoint toward the end of the season, or will the young talents like Jabari Parker and the Greek Freak propel them to turn it around?

The hosts also must discuss where they were when the Steph Curry shot went in against the Thunder, and some teams they are looking forward to seeing tested come playoff time.
