Kelly Dwyer, of Yahoo’s Ball Don’t Lie, has long been one of our favorite basketball writers (we read Behind the Box Score religiously.)  So it was about time to have him come on the show.

Dan talks to Kelly about how he got started in his basketball obsession and his writing career.  They talk about watching the game intelligently, and how to use some of the advanced stats to enhance your overall enjoyment of the game.

Then Kelly lets us know if the hot starts by the Bucks, Thunder, and Heat are for real and sustainable. In the process we hear why Dwyane Wade is our Jerry West.

All throughout, though, what you hear is love.  And passion.  About basketball.  Basketball.  Jeez.

Songs from the episode:

“I Like Everything About You” - Jimmy Hughes
“I Want to Take You Higher” - Sly and the Family Stone
“Eye Know” - De La Soul
“Heavy Makes You Happy” - The Staple Singers

Episode #50 is finally here, with a special announcement:

The Disciples of Clyde NBA Podcast is teaming up with FreeDarko! We are now ingeniously called FreeDarko Presents: The Disciples of Clyde NBA Podcast.

We will continue as a weekly NBA podcast hosted by Ken and Dan.  FreeDarko will be by each week, too.

So it’ll be the same Disciples of Clyde NBA Podcast you always loved (didn’t you?) only now even better.

For this new episode, Dan and Bethlehem Shoals from FreeDarko spend an hour talking about a variety of topics (spoiler alert - we go off on some tangents!)

Including:

- Why don’t we care that much about the end of the regular season?
- Derrick Rose in the playoffs?
- Why does loving Tyrus Thomas hurt?
- Larry Brown causes conflicted feelings
- The fallacy of certainty in NBA punditry
- How do injuries inspire Wade and Wallace?
- Allen Iverson, complex and definitely injured

And probably some other stuff, too.

Ken will be back with us next week, and who knows who else? Thanks for listening!
