TBJ Ep. 462: Yacht Rock

By J.E. Skeets

Monday to Friday, The Basketball Jones look at the big games and story lines from the night before with a mix of in-depth analysis and irreverent humor. As always, questions and comments are appreciated.

On today's show, Skeets and Tas lift anchor and set sail for the uncharted waters of TNT's Thursday night schedule. Can Shaq and Big Z co-exist in Cleveland? Are the Jazz already playing must-win games? Was LeBron robbed of a late-game foul call? All that, plus Yacht Rock Crossfire, the case for Anthony Randolph(notes) and Wanker of the Week.

Keep it nautical, basketball brethren, and have a smooth weekend.

    Skeets is right about the Clippers but I wish someone would've given the Bulls a little credit for their win over Cleveland. Shaq and LeBron both had 3 turnovers because the Bulls defense refused to give up all night long.

    first time i watched one of these. enjoyed it. The Cavs are frauds and that needs to be addressed. And also, what is going on with Delonte West being allowed to play?

    I really thought Tas had the Crossfire, and do you think maybe the intern could just step to the side : ).

    Loved the Wizards and Clippers compliments. 2 of my most pay-attention-to teams this season

    idea:
    You know how you guys just pick your favorite (easiest) pick of each night. How about this instead:
    Each of you picks every game that night, and your book-off is, Skeets chooses one from Tas's picks, and Tas chooses one from Skeet's picks. That way, you're not just choosing an easy pick.
    Get it? Maybe it's too complicated.

    Frightening music and Cavs hate hate hatin' today....love the table close up at 14 minute mark though. :)
    Seriously though, could the Nets get a win? Probably not with Bos, Philly, Magic, Heat coming up, 0-10 here we come!

    I cant remember a year in which the Nets and Knicks were so bad, and I go back a way. They should both give free tickets to their fans all season. Someone is not doing their job, on both teams.
