Featuring Shiva Dhiman. Welcome to class.. the assignment you thought you had to prepare for today is no longer on the agenda - that is where the NBA Playoffs stand. Casual Diehards in their truest form to date on this episode, where we address the legitimate Boston concerns & hypothesize the NBA Finals a bit. Specifically, the potential matchup that would be the most must-see series in some time. Enjoy the pod.
Featuring Shiva Dhiman. One full week and then some of round one action in the books, and the tabs are still open in every series except for one; And that one team doesn't even crack the top 5 of our Playoff Power Rankings Vol. II. Then we give Casual Diehard All-NBA awards. Yes, there were snubs. Enjoy the pod!
Featuring Shiva Dhiman. As an LA native, you may think this title is referring to me raving about the Laker's Game 3 performance... it is not. On this episode, the Casual Diehards table set for the second half of round 1 in the NBA Playoffs, while previewing Sunday's action ahead of the latest installment of Playoff Power Rankings.
Featuring Shiva Dhiman. The 'lucky number seven' episode, setting the table for a number of matchups that could be headed to a game seven. The most compelling discussion to be had involves the Golden State Warriors, but on this episode, we're reminded of what these guys have done with their backs against the wall.
Featuring Shiva Dhiman. A robust 60 seconds on 76ers / Nets, some of our finest work in fact. Then the breaks come off discussing what to make of Draymond Green's flagrant 2 for the stomp heard 'round the world. Thankfully, some feel-good energy emerges to put a bow on things.
Featuring Shiva Dhiman. Man oh man, game 1's are in the books & there's lots to discuss. Like how we tried to tell you about Rui Hachimura and how the Phoenix Suns aren't ready to bring home to mom. Add in a necessary Hubie Brown tangent and your main event: Playoff Power Rankings Vol I.
Featuring Shiva Dhiman. Another night of compelling ball that forced our hand. Play-in tournament day 2 reactions, including: The highly anticipated 2K theory debut, the new OKC big 3, the Zion in the room, & an off-the-wall Zach LaVine take. Do listen, do enjoy.
Featuring Shiva Dhiman. Impromptu Day 1 play-in tournament reactions: Lakers and Hawks secure their spots, The lesson Dillon Brooks may learn the hard way, and a look at where the odds stand for the Western Conference.
Featuring Shiva Dhiman. A Western Conference playoff preview. A Royal Rumble - in which the biggest question is can anybody throw the Warriors over the top rope? Followed by a warning about the Nuggets, and some choice (but fair) words about what a hypothetical ring means for the Phoenix Suns.
Featuring Shiva Dhiman & a brief introduction to the show. Then, an Eastern Conference playoff preview. Where Shiva and I give teams their flowers before telling you why it boils down to the teams in green.
