Hedo Turkoglu sat out a recent Raptors game with a stomach virus.
But that same night, he was spotted out on the town, livin’ it up.
But don’t be mad, Toronto.
Hedo just likes to party!

On today’s show, Skeets and Tas tell Amar’e Stoudemire he’d be a freakin’ retar— um, idiot to not opt of his final year $17.7 million contract. That, plus a surprisingly close Suns-Bulls game, a mini Melas Raptors rant and a second call for your new Rodrique Beaubois nicknames. Get ‘em in, friends: 1-888-TBJ-4377. Cheers.

You’ve got questions and we’ve got poorly constructed answers! Join us for our inaugural TBJ mailbag session as we ponder tanking games for ping-pong balls, “sleepy athletic” players and who will be better the point guard in five years — Russell Westbrook or Derrick Rose.

On today’s show, Skeets and Tas attempt to wrap their heads around the Nuggets-Mavericks game. Did The Matrix really shut down ‘Melo? What is wrong with Chauncey Billups’ shot? And, as always, how badly do those Nuggets need Kenyon Martin back in the line-up? All that, plus a lively discussion about axing divisions, some congratulations to the New Jersey Nets and Rodrique Beaubois’ weak-ass nickname.

On today’s show, Skeets and Tas field another crop of NBA weekend winners and losers. Was Mavericks’ rookie Rodrique Beaubois Saturday night’s best francophone? Is it still too early to write off the now Manu-led Spurs? Did the Cavs’ “Big Z” tribute feel forced? All that, plus Hedo’s “dancing virus,” the Nuggets’ road trip and Wade’s questionable tennis game.

Dear BJ Army,
A quick note about the audio show …
We’ve always aimed for brutal honesty when it comes to letting you guys behind the curtain of how our show runs, even if that means showing when we’ve fucked up. This is one of those times.
We recorded the audio show on Friday as planned but we weren’t happy with the way it came out. Maybe this shouldn’t have been so surprising to us considering we haven’t done an audio show in two years, but it wasn’t exactly like getting back on a bicycle.
With the lone exception of our excellent guest, everything from the production to the performance was subpar. Was it horrible? No — I’m sure you’ve heard worse. But it was less than the high standard we expect from ourselves and that you’ve come to expect from us. So, we decided to use that show as a rehearsal and a lesson on how to make the audio podcast better.
We’re sorry for the confusion it’s caused. We’re still doing an audio show, you just won’t have one this weekend. We hope you guys continue to enjoy the daily show and the other content we’ve been dropping.
Thanks for sticking with us. You guys are the best.
See you Monday.
Cheers,
The Basketball Jones
On today’s show, Skeets and Tas yell a lot. (Sorry, late night.) Topics shouted include the “quiet” Blazers’ playoff hopes, Americans’ thoughts on Chris Bosh and overrated deep-dish pizza. Yup. It’s Friday. Check out some NBA comedy, yo.

Skeets and Tas bet on NBA games every night. (Yes, they have a problem.) At the end of the month, they tally up the records and the loser is forced to do something embarrassing. With two “Book Off” payoffs to make up for, The Basketball Jones begrudgingly hit an open mic stage to try some “NBA comedy.” It went … um … yeah.
(Note: PG-13 language.)

On today’s show, Skeets and Tas skip over last night’s horrible NBA action to revisit a couple “Court Surfing” hot topics. Who has a better chance of beating the Lakers — Denver or Dallas? Can new owner Michael Jordan change the fortune of the lowly ‘Cats? And who would you select as your new “NBA Jam 2010″ team? All that, plus The Producer teaches you The Jones’ secret handshake. Razzle dazzle.
