From unforgettable performances and match-ups to sizzling news, we’ll cover all the important information to help you get caught up on NBA season. Hosted by Carson Chan, David Wong and Steven Chang.

In this week’s episode we open up the new NBA season with an in-depth look of the match-up between the seasoned Portland Trailblazers versus the up-and-coming Dallas Mavericks. The new Trailblazer, Hassan Whiteside, is put under the spotlight and closely scrutinized. The Miami Heat’s surprising victory over one of the East’s early favorites in the Milwaukee Bucks is also analyzed. We use this game to gauge the potential of the Heat as a threat in the Eastern Conference. We then look into the Phoenix Suns and how they will surprise everyone in the league, including the team they just beat, the early title-favorites LA Clippers. The Suns are now a legit team and we explain why. Finally, we end with a quick debate over the Chicago Bulls and how even though it is still early in the season, they are still destined for a disappointing season.
