Trying to sum up the first week of the NBA regular season in one podcast episode is an impossible task. Attempting to absorb all of the great moments so far is like trying to drink from the firehose, but darn it if we don’t give it the old college try.

So if you too are beside yourself with joy with the return of basketball, settle down with a cup of coffee and cue up the latest episode of Fastbreak Breakfast.

Some of the topics and completely unsubstantiated theories covered:

  • The real reason Bobby Portis sent teammate Nikola Mirotic to the hospital. Was it all a giant misunderstanding? An international gaffe, lost in translation? (Probably not).
  • Why is there a coverup about the decision to move Dwyane Wade to a bench role?
  • Listen, we’re not accusing Eric Gordon continues to play like he spent the summer with Lance Armstrong. We kid, we kid.
  • Which rookies have translated Summer League and preseason buzz into actual production and which have struggled so far?
  • Did we underestimate Giannis Antetokounmpo again?
  • Who is to blame for the Suns/Eric Bledsoe fiasco? Where would we like to see him end up?
  • So far, it looks like we were right about the Jazz and them being able to grind out wins against good competition.
  • We were also completely right about the Grizzlies! Okay, not totally, but hey! Memphis is incredible.
