I don't think this made it over from the other boards.

To kick it off, here's 20 minutes of Stephon Marbury talking about his career with Chris Mannix (35:42):

The Vertical Podcast with Chris Mannix
Joining Chris Mannix on The Vertical this week is Jeff Goodman from ESPN and Stephon Marbury. Chris talks with Jeff about the latest in the NBA with Carmelo Anthony, OKC and the Cleveland Cavs. Chris is also joined by Stephon Marbury. The guys talk about Marbury's career in the NBA and how he built his brand in China.

Zgoda and Michael Rand just started a new Wolves one today.

[UnFadeable21]

Vertical is good but they always talk about the Knicks smh.

Interesting. I'm pretty sure we lost the Locked on Wolves podcast Alan Horton hosted last year.

There was a new Lowe Post yesterday with Kevin Arnovitz. They go through their top 5 most interesting or unsure how to predict teams.

Spoiler:

It's a pretty big tease at the end. Lowe had the Wolves in his 5, but they spend like a minute or less talking about them. Lowe mentions that he isn't as high on them as most and that it's probably a separate discussion for later.

[Pacman]

I couldn't picture a podcast id listen to less than one with Zgoda. Especially for rubes on a message board that usually know more than casual fans. Key word being usually

Locked on Wolves was ok when Horton was doing it. Idk who the guys are now but they can't catch my attention for shit

[Pacman]

FWIW in the Dunc'd on season preview of the wolves with AP guy Nate Duncan thinks we'll win 50 games

The basketball friends pod, which was once the basketball analogy, which once was Truehoop, David Thorpe sounded like he thought we could be in the 4-6 seed range

Both guys are very solid basketballs

[UnFadeable21]

The woj pod with Jared Dudley was very good.

Ya should listen to it

Lowe Post is good. I fell off of Woj old vertical one. Is his new one any good? Too many softball questions from Woj,Imo.

Yeah Thorpe is the shit

They don't go into detail about us or anything. They literally talk about us for like 2-3 mins cuz Zach Harper was on it but I think Thorpe said he thinks we'll contend in that 4-6 range

On a side note they mention the Rubio, Martin, Brewer, Love, Pek squad and how they were shocked we didn't make the playoffs that year with our starting lineup. God damn that bench was TRASH

On the Truehoop/Hoop collective Amin predicted we'd finish last in our division. Said we could still be a playoff team but we'd have the worst record

This got buried instantly on the Jamal Crawford thread, so I thought I'd repost here for anyone who missed it last night:

Ep. 97: Jamal Crawford Ask Me Anything
"Jamal Crawford joins Tim Faklis, Dane Moore, David Naylor and Tom Schreier in studio for a wide-ranging discussion on his career, his life outside of basketball and what he thinks of the Timberwolves season so far."

He talks about Zach's Jimmy Kimmel prank, players he's played with/against, playing for Thibs, and why he thinks Wiggins doesn't have a ceiling.

[memyworld]

Highlights:

• 7-3 is smoke and mirrors

• Concerned about the defense

• Small sample size defensive statistics

The Lowe Post: Jeff Van Gundy, ESPN/ABC
"Zach talks to Jeff Van Gundy about the Wolves defense, the Thunder's struggles, the Clippers collapse, and strange starts across the Western Conference."

They open on the Wolves and talk about the team for a good 15 minutes or so. They start with the defensive inconsistency and ruminate on the effectiveness of their offense. Van Gundy thinks as Teague goes, the Wolves will go. He's impressed by their starting lineup's willingness to sacrifice usage from the get-go.

[T_J]

A few other notes from the JVG pod:

1. Zach Lowe says Shabazz is killing our bench - no surprise, but thinks we are a solid wing short of being really good
2. Lowe and JVG said our offense is really good. Zach mentions our lack of spacing but we're making it work - he seemed surprised how effective we've been
3. Back to the defense and our bench specifically - JVG said our bench better score because they're mostly all bad defenders...Lowe mentions he was was higher on Bee-a-pizza's D than Jeff
4. Zach thinks we're a fun, interesting team. He didn't use the word "Lock", but basically said we're for sure a playoff team and he's interested to see how that will work when teams can punish us for our lack of shooting.

There's probably a few other points I can't remember. It was nice to have a segment on the Wolves though.

[UnFadeable21]

Scoop latest has good interview with Jamal Crawford

Says every player is adjusting to each other and Thibs.

Not use to Thibs low minute rotations. Just has to stay ready. Everyone’s numbers are down except Taj and Teague.
