    NBA Expert Fran Fraschilla Reveals How International Basketball Is Taking Over!

    This week, Fran Fraschilla, basketball expert, joins the hosts to discuss everything from Joe Mazzulla’s coaching evolution to the rise of Spain’s pick-and-roll dominance in the NBA. Fran shares his thoughts on how college basketball has changed with the rise of NIL and the Transfer Portal, and the impact of international talent on the NBA.

    The Knicks Are In Trouble! Can They Really Compete With NBA’s Elite?
    Feb 26 2025
    The New York Knicks are facing a serious challenge as they struggle to compete with the NBA's elite teams, posting a 0-7 record against the Cavs, Thunder, and Celtics. Despite having a solid roster, the Knicks have faltered in these key matchups, raising questions about their true contender status. Are they built to make a deep playoff run, or are they still a few pieces away from competing with the top dogs in the league? Travis Thomas & Ountae Campbell dive into what this means for the Knicks’ playoff hopes and whether they can stay healthy enough to make a real push when it matters most. Next up, the Celtics are on the second night of a back-to-back, heading to Detroit to face a red-hot Pistons squad riding a 7-game win streak. Will the Celtics overcome fatigue, or will the Pistons continue their unexpected surge? The conversation shifts to Cooper Flagg, a player the hosts believe could be the next big thing in basketball. Is he a generational talent? How does he compare to the last 10 No. 1 overall picks? What’s his ceiling, and what’s his floor? The guys discuss whether he could end up on an NBA juggernaut. Then, Luka Doncic faces off against his old team, the Mavs, for the first time this season! Will his new squad reign supreme? Travis and Ountae also discuss what bets they'd make and whether either team has impressed since their major trades. Finally, in the NBA League Pass Game of the Week, Ountae has his eye on Thunder vs. Nets tonight, while Travis is hyped for Warriors at Magic tomorrow. With both teams struggling for playoff positioning, these matchups are not to be missed.
