They finally get a good guest in Zach Lowe and then paywall half the episode. Desperate tactic to get subscribers. I hope Zach sees that and never comes back on the show.

My god…. He over laughs at every one of Nate’s jokes and makes things painfully awkward. He also hardly gives concrete answers and usually says things without thinking it seems? Anytime Nate disagrees and has a counterpoint, John almost immediately gives up his initial take and sides with Nate....Read full review »

Paywall’d their podcast and had the audacity to charge $16 a month! Reasoned it by comparing themselves to streaming services like Netflix and Hulu. The monetization and profiteering of podcasts is disgusting. Please please please do not support this business model or else it will encourage more...Read full review »

Hollinger is always insightful but I’ll read him in the Athletic rather than pay so much now for the podcast!

What else can you say? Duncan is constantly putting out top-tier content for NBA fans that actually considers strategy, rosters, and future context like very few others (Thinking Basketball, Game Theory, some Athletic NBA shows). There’s some narrative discussion, but it’s all in the context of...Read full review »

No surprise Hollinger is doing podcasts and not working in a front office. Duncan is a typical fanboy writer who loves who he loves and hates everyone else.

Basketball geniuses!!!!!
Elisha Junior via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/01/22
Ya, as someone listens to a lot of NBA podcasts, this is an easy pass. The knowledge really isn’t there. An example, they said the Pistons gave up a lot of assets to get the draft pick for Jalen Duren? Really? What did they they up? They were trying to get rid of Jeremy Grant to not have to...Read full review »

I have to be honest, this is arguably the best nba podcast for a certain perspective, but god damn man can Nate Duncan please humble himself and just chill out man. I thought nate abused his duncd on podmate but John Hollinger was literally president of basketball ops for a league franchise and...Read full review »

Duncan is not good
Bballfan75 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/16/22
A Duncan-less Hollinger podcast is badly needed.
Ryan184 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/21/22
Love the podcast would love for John to not be grumpy
Willwdj via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/15/22
Hollinger put Tyler Herro THIRD on his 6MOTY ballot!? I unsubscribed and 1 starred - I can’t risk stupidity rubbing off on me.
Sean12355643 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/06/22
‘Generally, I’d score most of their episodes as being in the four star range. However, their Future Rankings Show (March 23/22) indicated - at least in my mind - a lack of research/preparation on the part of the two hosts. Specifically, I could not include the Toronto Raptors in your top 5 or...Read full review »
Richard from NOTL, Ontario via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/27/22
The Futures Ranking episode reminds me of what I don’t like about this pod, and affiliated pods. If you are going to do a rankings pod, the most important thing to do is to set the criteria, and then follow it. I have heard enough conversations about whether the differences of opinion are really...Read full review »

No Nate people like you are a-holes in the Kyrie situation
Jill gilmore via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/14/22
The Naismith family must have been bummed when they found out Nate Duncan actually invented basketball. Nate is a blow hard.
Staleberg via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/16/21
Nate and John have great insight and they work well together.

Nate and John are great. Interesting conversation and insight.
tim97tim97 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/19/21
You’ll hardly find two guys who know the league more than these doods. They produce a high quality product. Wish there were more episodes!
fdhzDz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/23/21
This is the guy who voted Gobert for MVP Too much numbers instead of using your eyes and your brain Nerds who don’t know how to play basketball pretending they know more about basketball Bet he can’t even dribble a ball
Joey Bigornia via Apple Podcasts · Philippines · 07/12/21
Extremely smart analysis. Love that John/Nate aren’t afraid to disagree with each other and can engage in healthy debate without devolving into the antics seen on other pods/shows.
NBA Fan 1234 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/08/21
Nate Duncan is involved in two of the best basketball podcasts, hands down. He and John do a great job for fans who don’t get their content from ESPN. The knowledgeable basketball fan will love the in depth breakdown and coverage of not only this podcast but Nate’s podcast with Danny Leroux
EliDaFantasyGuru via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/10/21
if only Nate would let John finish a sentence, or even a thought. Seems like Nate is highly caffeinated and just needs to talk and interrupt while not listening at all. I would love to hear more insight from John. Nate, you already have your own pod, learn to lay out a little more.
Toddzilla#toddzilla via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/04/21
Two of the best in the business for analysis and coverage and some inside knowledge on the runnings of an NBA org. Would recommend to anyone interested in stats and bball.
ColJJGod via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/22/21
These guys tell like it is........Hollinger’s inside knowledge makes this podcast a gem.
Dj Yogi in Atlanta via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/06/21
Nate speaks 80% of the time. Would be nice if he would allow John to speak a bit more.
theswooner via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/06/21
Based on their recent coach rankings, it is very apparent that Nate and John just spout off their personnel opinions without much thought or methodology to back up these opinions. A ranking podcast would be more effective if they ranked each participant in a series of weighted categories that...Read full review »

I think lots if people in the media are unfairly haranguing the Nba and the players for claiming its a joyless season. I recognise the injuries and blowout games but there are still many players who play hard and often. Nba and team staff working hard. Also, fans may not be enjoying this much but...Read full review »

These guys have just sucked all the fun out of the nba. Great if you want to hear an endless stream of indefensibly arrogant takes supported by cherry picked advanced stats. Hollinger far more tolerable than Duncan.
mbdot33 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/31/21
This is worse than the ringer. You will never hear somebody with a bigger and more fragile ego than Nate Duncan. Not many things were better than when Rick Carlisle put this dork into his place and humiliated him
sportsperson1073 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/27/21
If you are looking for insight from smart people who live and breathe the NBA this is your show.
Briand1234567 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/13/21
arrogant and insufferable
christopacerspher via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/26/21
If you’re looking for a National pod that covers the entire league WELL then this isn’t the one. Pretty clearly do not watch certain teams and it shows
Maaaaaaaattttttt33 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/24/21
Pretty good discussions but Nate comes across as a bit snobby elitist
Mgwinter via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/20/21
They both bring an interesting perspective but there are some annoying things about this pod, namely, it’s too infrequent (only 1 hour, once per week), it has too many ads, and most annoyingly Nate’s blowhard / know-it-all tendencies are really grating
Ben47031 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/03/21
Just a bad pod by guys with horrible takes. I can see why Hollinger got chased out of the NBA. He’s a numbskull
Mama31012 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/24/21
I have been listening to it for over 3 years, never miss an episode, high quality analysis delivered with great sense of humor
12345#@ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/24/21
Great information and good to get perspectives from an “outsider” and “insider”. I appreciate the acerbic wit. The ad reads are obtrusive and annoying but hardly a dealbreaker. Nate sometimes talks over Hollinger but I think that tendency is fading. Definitely recommend
samshshs via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/22/21
Great show but WAY too many ads
JuddLalich via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/21/21
Look forward to each week. Great Mix with the two hosts
Dorn4070! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/03/21
Very good podcast, one of the best ..
dan89778667 via Apple Podcasts · Austria · 01/02/21
Basketball already is pretty opinionated on who is best, which team will win, stats, all that. Which opinions can’t really be wrong. Yet somehow, I hate and disagree with most of their opinions. Not a single other podcast makes me feel this way. But this podcast just doesn’t sit well with me....Read full review »

Hollinger is great but this podcast has waaaaay too many ads. Makes for a choppy conversation between the hosts.
