Ken and Dan get together to talk Round 1, and how everything seems a little formless, lacking overarching narrative. Assuming we know what that word means.

Along the way, they touch on the disappointing Nuggets, the underwhelming Lakers, Game 5 blowouts, and a really unfortunate incident in Ken’s life.

And they say goodbye to the Bobcats, Bulls, and Heat. With nary a tear.

Songs from the episode:

“Oops Upside Your Head” - Sean Price
“Come On (Let the Good Times Roll)” - Jimi Hendrix
“South Mouth” - Jesus Lizard
“Vomit” - MF Doom

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
