Steph made history reaching the top of the 3 point mountain while KD played 48 mins, sometimes with 4 rookies on the floor, to keep the Nets at the top of the Eastern Conference.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the day's action in the NBA. The Utah Jazz are on a six game win streak and are silently finding their form. Can they put a run together like the Suns from last season? Do the Nets really need Harden and KD to play 40ish minutes every game?

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the Indiana Pacers. The Pacers are looking to rebuild and are willing to involve their stars - Sabonis, Levert and Turner in trade discussions.

Or is there a way that the Sixers benefit?All this and more on today's episode of The Airball Diaries.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the Miami Heat downward spiral and whether or not their stock was overvalued at the start of the season after a brief spell of good performances. Also on the cards is the Philly discussion - part 2. Embiid is playing like an MVP again and his time is now especially with his tendency to run into injury trouble.

A wave of injuries struck the league today with Lillard and Adebayo joining Ja Morant, LeBron and Devin Booker on the sidelines. The injury concerns for the Nuggets, Grizzlies and the Blazers coupled with the woeful form of the Clippers seems to be working to the advantage of the Lakers as they inch up the table, looking to avoid the play-ins.All this and more on today's episode of The Airball Diaries.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the biggest game of the season so far. The Suns came out victorious in the first leg of their back to back versus the Warriors but also lost Booker in the process. Is this run of wins sustainable without their leading scorer?

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the Denver Nuggets and the LA Clippers. With injuries to MPJ, and now Dozier and Hyland in addition to Jamal Murray, is it game over for the Nuggets? The Nuggets are heavily invested in their young core and could that be the reason for their downfall? Should Jokic ask out? Also, the Clippers sit in the top half of the Western Conference and could well finish in a direct playoff spot. With Kawhi scheduled to return before the playoffs, does that make them a contender?

Can they beat a top tier team in the playoffs?All this and more on today's episode of The Airball DiariesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the Lakers' woes. Giannis put on a show with 47 points while Anthony Davis completely disappeared.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the Steph Curry show in Brooklyn. The Nets were totally outplayed (as predicted yesterday) and Steph won over the NY crowd with his skill on display.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the rampant Golden State Warriors. 8-1 Start to the season with the team being #1 - #3 in the league in pretty much any team metric that matters including and especially #1 on defence. This will Steph yet to fully take off, Wiseman yet to join the team and did we mention a certain Mr. Klay? They also have enough assets for a blockbuster trade yet. Chip favourites? What's up with the Bucks and the Hawks - defending champs and ECF finalists from a few months ago both off to shaky starts. While in Atlanta their talisman's poor form seems to be the primary concern in Milwaukee it's anything but. The Greek Freak continues to play like he has nothing against his name and everything to prove but can he get his team to stay motivated to run it back? All this and more on today's episode of The Airball Diaries.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the Boston Celtics. A young star duo, a disgruntled leader and a 2-5 start to the season; things don't look rosy in Boston.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the NBA Conference Standings after Week 1. Are we overreacting to a Bulls team that had one of the easiest schedules of all? Is Lamelo another Trae in the making with some post-season surprises in store? Can anyone explain the lacklustre front-office activity at Boston and Dallas?

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the return of the NBA.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the NBA finals. Giannis put on a monster 50 point game to close out the series and win Milwaukee's first title in 50 years.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the NBA finals. Jrue Holiday finally turned up to the party as the Bucks shut the door on the Suns.

Join Nishant and today's guest Vishnu, a PhD scholar at Purdue as they talk about the day's stories in the NBA.

All this and more on today's Triangle Offense!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the day's action in the NBA. We talk about how Game 3 was decided by Giannis' Free Throw shooting and Booker's 3-point shooting. Predictable? What if we told you that those two were why Milwaukee won against the Suns? Giannis dropped 41-13 and 13-17 FTs while Booker had a miserable shooting night as the Bucks pummelled the Suns in their first finals home game by 20! All this and more on today's Triangle Offense!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the day's action in the NBA. The Phoenix Suns win comfortably taking a 2-0 lead in a series that now moves to Milwaukee. The Suns caught fire from 3 in an otherwise less than overwhelming display. The Bucks on the other hand had another monster performance from Giannis who dropped 40-12 with a steal and 3 blocks and no one to support him. Jrue Holiday and Middleton had off nights shooting 31-33% from the field. Can the Bucks overcome their choking troubles and a coach that seems to make adjustments at a glacial pace in game 3? All this and more on today's Triangle Offense!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What would be the best-case scenario for Dame? All this and more on today's Triangle Offense!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the NBA finals. Chris Paul, Devin Booker and Ayton contributed 81 points and 25 rebounds amongst them as the Suns delivered the first blow in the NBA finals. Yet another slow start for the Bucks, but they got Giannis back and he played 35 minutes which was encouraging. All this and more on today's Triangle Offense!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the NBA finals. The Bucks have seen it all, crashed and burned at various stages and are finally here. Meanwhile, the Suns had a steep jump after barely making the bubble last season. Chris Paul, however, is here after 16 years of struggle - injuries, losses, injuries to others - he's seen it all. Can Giannis return to pre-injury form, or will the Suns continue to surprise us all? All this and more on today's Triangle Offense!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the day's NBA playoff action. The entire Bucks' starting lineup stepped up in the absence of Giannis to claim Game 5 in the Eastern Conference finals, and are now just a win away from the NBA finals. Lots of stuff happening away from the court as well - Is Lillard unhappy with Portland's new hire or is this just a media made rumour? Do the NBA players complain a lot? Will there be a star mark besides this season? All this and more on today's Triangle Offense!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the day's NBA playoff action. Chris Paul as great leaders do, rose to the occasion to lead the Suns into their first NBA final in 28 years.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the weekend's NBA playoffs action. The Milwaukee Bucks thump the Atlanta Hawks in back to back fixtures to take a 2-1 lead and with Trae possibly out in G4, could they romp to the Finals early? What do we make of Giannis' leadership and maturity and the parallels emerging between Giannis and Middleton to Shaq and Kobe - where the latter in both cases was the guard that was the go-to finisher. Meanwhile, out West, the Clippers fight back yet again off of a monster performance from Paul George ably aided by his role players to bring the series to 3-2. Suns play in L.A next to close out the series while the Clippers must at this point like their chances of forcing a Game 7! All this and more on today's Triangle Offense!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the day's NBA playoffs action. The Milwaukee Bucks drop series opener at home to a Hawks team that knows no quit. Giannis 34-12-9, Jrue Holiday 33-10 but the Hawks did outplay them on the back of a spectacular 48-7-11 masterclass from Trae Young. Collins and Capela chipped in with crucial plays, points and rebounds as the Hawks clinched this 3 game thriller. What adjustments to Milwaukee make for Game 2? We also look ahead at Game 3 of the WCF - Kawhi officially ruled out, CP3 most likely back - all doom and gloom for the Clippers? All this and more on today's Triangle Offense!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the day's NBA playoff action. The Phoenix Suns prevailed in an incredible contest that had the last 2 mins play out for over a century it seemed. We had drama all around, we had a Playoff P sighting and then immediately had a Pandemic P sighting. We had the Clippers go from tight defense to where's your defense and incredibly, an alley-oop buzzer beater with 0.7 on the clock from Ayton was enough to clinch it. With CP3 set to return, Kawhi still uncertain and the Suns leading 2-0 - is this series over? All this and more on today's Triangle Offense!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the weekend's NBA playoff action. The Milwaukee Bucks pulled off a series turnaround after their comeback in game 6. Giannis led from the front and Middleton finally live up to his closer role. KD put up a heroic performance and was easily the best player on the court but ultimately the Bucks dug in and prevailed in overtime pulling off a thrilling Game 7 upset in a hostile away arena. Speaking of hostile away arenas, the Hawks had an upset of their own cooking. Holding the 76ers to under 100 is no mean feat and the Hawks beat the sixers without Bogdan and with a miserable shooting night from Trae! Is this the end of the process? Who would have guessed the Eastern Conference Finals would be between the Hawks and the Bucks at the start of the season? The West kicked off its conf finals without Kawhi and CP3. But it continues to be Devin Booker's world - the Suns superstar dropped a 40 point triple-double to take the Suns home in G1. All this and more on today's Triangle Offense!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the day's NBA playoff action. The Milwaukee Bucks pulled of a turnaround win in Game 6 after their game 5 debacle in the face of a KD masterclass. Giannis dominated the paint, Middleton dominated the game and the Bucks were too hot to handle. While both teams were atrocious from 3, the Bucks played to their strengths and led from start to finish and never appeared to break a sweat. This series now goes to Game 7 in Brooklyn on the eve of two crucial Game 6's between the Hawks and the 76ers in Atlanta and the Jazz and the Clippers in Los Angeles. All this and more on today's Triangle Offense!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the day's NBA playoff action. The Hawks pulled off a comeback that will be talked about for ages to take a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference Semis. Doc Rivers somehow seems to be stuck at the wrong end of all these comebacks and Ben Simmons can't make a free throw to save his life. The Clippers, without Kawhi Leonard, overcame a hot-shooting half from the Jazz to take a 3-2 lead back to LA. Seems like Playoff P is back after all. All this and more on today's Triangle Offense!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the day's NBA playoff action. The Brooklyn Nets had a come from behind Game 5 W after trailing by as many as 17 points in the 3rd Q. Durant with a performance for the ages dropping 49-17-10 with 3 Steals and 2 Blocks!

All this and more on today's Triangle Offense!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the day's NBA playoff action. The Hawks levelled the series against the Sixers. Embiid didn't look 100%, and how's that going to affect the Sixers?

All this and more on today's Triangle Offense!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the weekend's NBA playoff action. The Bucks and the Nets are now tied 2-2 with the Bucks looking increasingly strong as Kyrie went off injured in the Nets' Game 4 loss leaving KD high and dry. Assuming the Nets injury woes continue for the next game with neither superstar recovering, is this series the Bucks' to lose from this point on? The Clippers come roaring back led by their superstar duo to comfortable take down the Jazz in Game 3. Game 4 - Clippers again to make this a real series? Booker, CP3 and the Suns complete the sweep and put the MVP and the nuggets out of their misery. It wasn't pretty with Jokic getting ejected for one of the softest Flagrant 2 calls yet! All this and more on today's Triangle Offense!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the day's NBA playoff action. The Bucks had a game to forget as they got walloped by the Brooklyn Nets and are now 2-0 down in the series.

The Clippers overcame the Game 7 demons from the bubble to finally take down the Mavs despite a superstar performance from Luka and set up a second-round clash with the Jazz.

They clinched Game 1 vs the Sixers despite Embiid returning. All this and more on today's Triangle Offense!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the day's NBA playoff action. The Nuggets, in typical Nuggets fashion, beat the Trailblazers in a come from behind victory in the fourth quarter. While the Nuggets marched forward, the Trailblazers had yet another disappointing season to reflect upon. The Suns continued their fiery form from Game 5 as Booker went on a rampage to knock the defending champions out in the first round. This was Lebron's first career loss in the first round of the playoffs, and it'll be interesting to see how the Lakers revamp their roster in the off-season.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the day's NBA Playoffs action. The Jazz thump the Grizzlies and sail through to the next round - the first Western Conf team to clear Round 1, and fittingly so.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the day's NBA Playoffs action. The Suns demolished a hapless Lakers team by 30! That was the lead they had at halftime and they held it with no special effort all the way through. The Brooklyn Nets meanwhile put the Celtics out of their misery and romped through to the next round - they face the Bucks in what should be the best series of the playoffs so far. Dame Lillard hit a playoff record 12 threes including a bunch of clutch 3s to force 2 overtimes. Dame was 6-8 in both overtime periods while the rest of the Trailblazers were 1-14 and that tells you everything. Jokic, MPJ and the Nuggets prevailed.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the day's NBA Playoffs action and look forward to tomorrow's big matchups including Game 5 of Suns V Lakers. The Jazz-Grizzlies seems to be headed for an early conclusion and a gentleman's sweep after the Jazz W today gave them a 3-1 lead. Shooting, defence, Mitchell and Clarkson this was a signature performance from the Utah Jazz. In the other game, out East, Philly who were a W away from a sweep of the Wizards dropped to 3-1. Embiid went off early due to injury, Simmons missed major minutes in foul trouble only to come back and be exposed for his Free Throw shooting as the Wizards sent him to the line time and again to cut the lead.

The East meanwhile seems to be in a hurry with the Bucks sweeping the Heat, the Nets taking a 3-1 lead, Philly a W away from a sweep of the Wizards and the Hawks going up 3-1 with not a game 6 in sight in any of these clashes. All this and more on today's Triangle Offense!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Monish and Nishant as they discuss the NBA Playoff action from the day's games. The Utah Jazz defense finally shows up, though the Final Scores won't let you believe it as does their 3-shooting. The Knicks finally give MSG their first playoff W in years and the 76ers continue to dominate the Wizards making us wish it was the Pacers that came through instead! In all this, the future of the game looks as secure as ever - the young guns continue to put up spectacular displays - Trae and Ja Morant showing they well and truly belong.

Join Monish and Nishant as they talk about the day's NBA Playoffs action. Brooklyn Nets thumped the Boston Celtics to take a 2-0 lead in a series that looks destined to be a sweep. The champs roared back in Phoenix led by their Big 2 and Schroder to level the series after 2 games. Over in L.A, the Mavs took down the Clippers again, convincingly. Luka flexing on the whole league at this point with a commanding performance. Could the Clippers unfathomably get swept in the first round?

How impressive are these Bucks and is it time to finally have the 'Milwaukee can take down the Brooklyn Nets' discussion?

Join Monish and Nishant as they discuss a weekend that saw every single matchup in the West go against the favourites. Grizzlies took down the Jazz, Suns beat the Lakers, Mavs lit Clippers all ends up and the Trailblazers demolished the Nuggets. Over in the East the Bucks edged out the Heat in overtime, 76ers survived early jitters to beat the Wizards, Nets big 3 flexed a little but enough to get the W and the Hawks edged out the Knicks in front of a delightfully loud Garden arena crowd.

Join Monish and Nishant as they discuss the first-round matchups in the NBA playoffs in both conferences. Can CP3 and the Suns topple the King? Can Luka get his revenge on the Clippers, can Giannis on the Heat? Should the 76ers have any excuse not to sweep the Wizards? What about the Joker and the Nuggets against Dame Time? The only reason we haven't yet mentioned the best record in the NBA yet is because the Jazz don't yet know who their opponent will be. The Nets do however, it's the mighty (?) Celtics which on paper seems like a foregone conclusion. Possibly the most tightly contested series of the first round in the Knicks against the Hawks? A potent defense against a firebrand offense.

Join Monish and Nishant as they discuss the MVP race that saw more twists and turns than most seasons, largely thanks to injuries. First it was Luka who started as the favourite, then it was LeBron, then Embiid, then Harden leading the race. And yet finally the race boils down to 2 players but should it even be a debate? Monish feels it's the Joker by a mile but Nishant seems to have finally jumped ship to the Steph Curry side of the waters.

Join Monish and Nishant as they discuss the Houston Rockets with their new-look roster and a clean slate and how they've fared so far. What's the ceiling for this team this season and is their surprisingly good defense sustainable over the course of the season? Given that this squad was put together on the fly with a new head coach and new GM is this a squad for the future or a one-year project that they'll flip for trades and build from draft picks?

Join Monish and Nishant as they discuss whether the Clippers are only bullies that dominate the smaller teams and come up short against the big gun or if they're on track to chip contention.  Mavs or the Heat - the bigger disappointment so far and the ones with a better chance of getting back on track?

Join Monish and Nishant as they discuss the Denver Nuggets - in ascension in the West led by their transcendent, Trip-Dub averaging big man. Much like the Brooklyn Nets in the East here's a top-notch offense at times bogged down by a sub-par defense so how did they make the push to being a top 4 team as of today? What's their ceiling and what should we expect from their big 3?

Join Monish and Nishant as they discuss the Brooklyn and their best in class offense being a net negative thanks to their worst in class defense. Is it time to panic and make fixing the defense a priority or is growing pains to be expected from drastic roster changes?

Join Monish and Nishant as they discuss the Lakers and their topsy turvy results. Is this fatigue or is it complacency from the defending champs? Is too much depth a problem when all of them get minutes at the expense of momentum from the 5 on the court at any point in time?

Join Monish and Nishant as they discuss whether or not Zion has been performing to the level of the expectations fans and the media have from him. If this is indeed considered a mismatch between expectations and production - is this a case of unreasonable expectations on a player so young in the league or a legitimate case of a star not delivering on his potential so far in his very short career in the NBA.

Join Monish and Nishant as they discuss the new and improved Milwaukee Bucks. Are they really new and improved from a post-season readiness perspective?  Sure Jrue is a significant upgrade on Bledsoe but can this team go places in the post-season without Giannis elevating his game and adding shooting to his arsenal and improving on his abysmal FT shooting?

Is Chicago wasting his talent which is better served helping a contender make a deep playoff push if not go all the way?

Join Monish and Nishant as they discuss the new-look Brooklyn Nets minus Kyrie. 2 Games 2 Ws - all good for the chip contenders? Is Kyrie a net-negative addition prospect to this team?

Join Monish and Nishant as they discuss the best of the rest of the West. With the Lakers running away to the best record in the league already, who in the West is likely to be able to take down the Lakers in the playoffs? With the Nuggets far from the heights they scaled last seaosn, Mavs still getting back on their feet, Phoenix exciting but new and so on this was worth discussing.

Join Monish and Nishant as they discuss a hypothetical Bradley Beal trade - an all-star that's consistent with high-end production on-court that just can't seem to buy a win.

(iii) The Cavs receive Jarrett Allen and Taurean Prince (iv) Indiana Pacers receive Levert from Houston who chose to flip him immediately for Victor Oladipo!   Where does this rank the Nets now?

Join Monish and Nishant as they discuss the topsy turvy form of the Brooklyn Nets. Kyrie's M.I.A - Steve Nash has no clue where Kyrie is or when he'll back, Dinwiddie has a long term injury, KD's performance though world-class aren't translating to enough wins. Are the Nets unraveling right before our eyes or is it good old "it's still early in the season"? Also on the cards - the Golden State Warriors and their impressive run of form. Now that they're trending in the right direction, do they know look like firm playoff contenders or is this a house of cards?

Join Monish and Nishant as they discuss the Balkan battle that saw the Joker and Luka Doncic put up 38 points each in an overtime thriller. Luka and the Mavs came through in the clutch in OT after a dagger 3 from Kleber with 2.5 secs left in the game was canceled out by a Jokic mid-range buzzer-beater to take the game to OT. Also on the cards - Lakers - individual numbers but on-off win record and AD still not at his best. Laker Nation worried or it's the good old, early in the season excuse?

Join Monish and Nishant as they discuss the Clippers and their impressive run of form. Are they better coached, more motivated than last season? Are they deeper now with their new additions? Kawhi's playing back to back, PG shooting lights out, how do the Clippers stack up against the rest of the West? Also on the cards, the Philadelphia 76ers, and their impressive start. Embiid dominant, Simmons a constant triple-double threat, Tobias Harris coming good on his contract and their new shooters are all on song. The front office is stronger than ever, Doc Rivers solves a lot of their coaching woes - too good to be true? What can bring this crashing down?

Join Monish and Nishant as they discuss the 3-4 Denver Nuggets and their form. Jokic putting up serious MVP trip-dub numbers but with MPJ in and out, Jamal a shell of the beast that he was in last season's bubble, and no Jeremi Grant on defense, can we still look at the Nuggets as a powerhouse in the West poised to make another deep playoff run? Was Bubble Jamal just a hot streak and it's all unraveling now? How potent does their offense need to be to overcome the 29th ranked defense in a league of 30 teams? Also on the cards, Dallas Mavericks have a 3-4 start to the season of their own! Luka's looked short of his conditioning best despite his numbers saying otherwise. Their defensive trials continue with intermittent success but are any of these scalable and portable to the playoffs? How much of a boost is Porzingis' reported early return from injury and to where will that elevate the Mavs in a tough West?

A virtuoso, statement performance from Steph in the face of adversity, doubt, and murmurs of Dame Lillard now being the best PG in the league. Just a hot shooting night or the makings of an MVP season? How do the Warriors build from here? Also on the cards, we discuss the Brooklyn Nets and their shaky start to the NBA season. Despite both their superstars getting off to a great start, they're still under .500 and outside the playoffs spots. What do they need to fix to get back to playing winning basketball?
