On the latest episode of The Mid Range Theory Podcast we talk about two of the NBA’s most dynamic guards who are dominating the league to start the season.
Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook’s play is proving that models are made to be broken. On Episode 14 of The Mid-Range Theory podcast, FanSided Senior NBA editor Ian Levy (@HickoryHigh) and SNY.tv and OG contributor Tommy Dee (@ThomasCDee) talk about just how ridiculous Westbrook has been this year and how he could be reshaping some analytic models.
We also talk about what it was like for Tommy to watch James Harden in person for the first time the other night at Madison Square Garden, the surprising Bulls, Harrison Barnes’ impact on the Mavericks and key early injuries to the Celtics.
