Good break down

They do a good after analysis of the games. They do great by getting right to the games and are not superfluous like other podcasters. A pet peeve of mine though, is the constant “like” by one of them.
But overall it’s a good podcast.

Slam n Jam - Andrew & Sam are ‘n sync

Great show from summer league! These two have a great rapport. And yes, I’m with you. This show is missing our best analyst and glue guy, Alex.
Great show!
