Dunc'd on is pretty decent, their mock stuff is pretty entertaining. I also learnt way more about how the cap works listening to it. Lowe can be decent depending on his guest, he was best though as a foil for Simmons, you could hear his eye rolls after bill throws out a "who says no". Simmons I am pretty sure doesn't even watch ball anymore, I always looked forward to the season over/unders with House but this year it was just a throw away podcast rather than an event, the only time he's worth listening ing to is when Rappaport is on with him.

I find Rappaport pretty grating. Him ending up embroiled with chapo trap house was perfect and hilarious. I've all but fallen out of paying attention to Simmons. Lowe Post is consistently good imo though it helps if Lowe gets a guest who isn't just like him or balances him well. It's a shame about George Karl because back when he first came on the Lowe Post I thought he was pretty good and made a fun podcast partner with Lowe. Dunc'd On is fine for background noise, it's got solid consistent content but their voices/mics aren't the best. The Starters still put out a bunch of stuff I find vaguely entertaining Punkin Spunkin fucked around with this message at 00:03 on Jan 17, 2017 |

Another podcast to check out if you're looking for one is the Starters. Since it's a tv show now, you will miss some of the highlights they discuss and show on tv but the rest of it is good listening.

Zack Lowe is good with Jeff Van Gundy and David Thorpe, guys like that who really know basketball X's and O's and can hang with him talking about pick and roll defense, what sets teams run etc. When he's with a regular beat journalist it can be a bit bland.

So I finally made it to a wizards game today and I had a great time but the atmosphere is terrible. The wizards put up 75 in the first half and you would have thought they were losing if you could only hear crowd noise. Before this I have only ever been to Warriors, Kings (old arena), Lakers and Clippers games and I was really disappointed. Also, John Wall rules and I am happy to adopt the Wizards as my eastern conference team based on geography.

Should focus more on quality over quantity.

I listen to the Starters podcast almost every day during the playoffs, but usually not the rest of the year just due to shortage of podcast time. Open Floor has mostly replaced Simmons for my weekly basketball podcast, although I've started to throw Simmons on again for bad and wrong information about the playoff football games.

I think the only one worse is maybe Atlanta.

Really it was like 50 booers but everyone else was just sitting on their hands so I dunno.

I went to 2 Wizards games when I lived in DC. It's a city full of transplants of course the atmosphere is terrible. Both times I sat in mid tier seats and it was easily 50/50 home team / away team fans. The Wizards have also basically never been a dominant team so they didn't appear (to me at least) to have any of the same kind of loyalty that fans of the Capitals and Redskins have.

Dexo posted:Would he say it out loud no. The offensive thoughts and dogwhistle racism bullshit didn't come from nowhere. I didn't read the book, just listened to the Lowe interview, and he made it pretty clear that he was talking about guys growing up without fathers because his own son grew up without him around, and I think he saw his son acting the same way as players who'd grown up without fathers. He clearly felt guilty about it, said they didn't really reconcile until he had cancer. As for the rest, I won't defend it. My point is simply that I wouldn't take it as harshly from the brain fried man as I would from someone in their right mind
