A new episode of Fastbreak Breakfast powered by the ambient noise of a Southern California coffee shop, as Jon (@masterjonburr) is forced to Skype in from the road. Among the docket of things discussed over the noise of plates clinking, children yelping and suburban white indie pop:

  • Between Isaiah Thomas, James Harden, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Russell Westbrook, who is having the best current stretch of play? Or is it Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis or LeBron James? Is there a reason so many eye-popping individual statistical accomplishments are occurring?
  • Which teams should pony up in a Paul Millsap trade? The Portland Trail Blazers? Would the Oklahoma City Thunder actually be able to make a surprising move for him?
  • Who is most to blame for the stumbles of the New York Knicks? Does Chuck (@themightychuck) have a scorching hot take that he already regrets?
  • Outside of Joel Embiid, why is this rookie class so underwhelming?
  • Did Andrew Harrison have a very legitimate excuse for a recent bad performance?
  • Is there a conspiracy at work behind the recent batch of food poisoning among NBA players?
  • The Nick Young celebration dance: shameful or merely on brand?
  • Are the Philadelphia 76ers botching their big man rotation and damaging the trade value of Nerlens Noel and/or Jahlil Okafor? And why won’t they just #FreeNerlens??
