In this episode, the crew debates one of the biggest questions surrounding the Rockets this year — and the answers are all over the place. From B-minus to A-level performances, this conversation breaks down Kevin Durant’s impact, expectations, and the one area that continues to spark debate: 👉 Did he do enough to close games in the fourth quarter? While some argue KD was everything the Rockets needed — especially with injuries and inconsistent performances around him — others believe he didn’t take over late in games the way a superstar should. That’s where things get heated. We dive into: Kevin Durant’s overall performance this season Fourth quarter struggles and missed opportunities How injuries (including Fred VanVleet) impacted his role Whether KD had to carry too much of the load The difference between “playing great” and “finishing games” The biggest question: Was Kevin Durant elite this season… or just not clutch enough when it mattered most? 🔥 This is a debate Rockets fans won’t all agree on. #KevinDurant #HoustonRockets #NBA #NBATalk #Rockets
The San Diego Padres have finally snapped a four-game skid, thanks to an impressive debut from Griffin Canning and the "Bogey special." Darren Smith and Marty Caswell break down the biggest takeaways from the disappointing 2-4 homestand versus the Chicago White Sox and Cubs. Why would the Padres give Fernando Tatis an off-day during the team's skid? The duo listen to comments from Manny Machado on whether the trip to the altitude in Mexico City affected the hitters. And yes, the Padres are struggling offensively but luckily for them, so is the entire National League West. The duo then discuss an impressive debut from Griffin Canning, nearly a year after his achilles injury. How far behind might Lucas Giolito be and what does it mean for the futures of Matt Waldron and German Marquez? We hear from Canning on his start and early first-inning jitters. The Padres news of the weekend though is undoubtedly the transfer in ownership from the Seidler family to Kwanza Jones and Jose E. Feliciano. Marty and Darren break down their official statement and what they want to see from the next ownership group. The two then pay tribute to legendary Yankees broadcaster John Sterling, who passed away at 87 years of age. If you like your money, Mint Mobile is for you.
