Crystal Balls & Bad Calls

Average White Fan

This week on Average White Fan, Scott hits you with a quick 2-for-1 to start the show. After watching a few games this week he’s wondering if people just like saying “small ball” or do they actually know how to play it. And what’s up with the post-up? Is it time for this dying art to make a comeback?

Also, which coaches are dealing with overbearing bosses and who’s getting the space to do their job? No doubt there are meddling NBA owners like Balmer in LA and Dolan in New York or smarter-than-everyone GMs like Morey in Philly. We discuss how backseat driving can get a coach crushed in the media and make him a joke to his team.

We're also looking back at preseason predictions. Some teams are living up to expectations and some are looking like scrubs. Who gets a pat on the back and who’s getting roasted at the barber shop?

AND, it’s time to check in on our rookie class. First-rounders come into the league with fly suits and a lot of buzz. We’re gonna talk about who’s making an impact like the Thompson Twins and Derek Lively. There’s also time for question marks like Scoot Henderson and the head-scratchers like Taylor Hendricks.
