NBA opening night brought big numbers, big questions and a few early-season overreactions. Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball combined for 66, Portland blew the game open against Phoenix, and Tyrese Haliburton returned after a long road back. The crew debates whether Minnesota can be a top-five team, whether the first game of the season really matters, which new duo has the highest ceiling, and whether Kawhi Leonard and Scottie Barnes deserve sleeper-duo status. Richard Jefferson breaks down the LaMelo Ball travel call, and Channing Frye shares what it meant to return to the court after his heart issue.

The Road Trippin’ crew is back for the 2026-27 season! Perk opens by calling Tyrese Haliburton a top 10 player, and the Pacers come back healthy with Zubac on the roster. The guys argue over whether Karl-Anthony Towns should take a discount after the Knicks’ title run, why Wemby needs to live in the paint, and whether Chicago has really found its next Derrick Rose. Then the crew makes its picks for MVP, Rookie of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Coach of the Year and the Larry O’Brien Trophy. Perk rides LeBron and the Sixers, Channing calls a Knicks repeat and Rich makes the case for the Spurs. Plus, Perk has some words for Ronnie 2K over a 17 rating that we think is fake.
