Stiemsma Madness!!!!
Congratulations guys on getting featured on Grantland!
Just because you should all be in the know at all times, our weekly Overdose will also be available as part of The Grantland Podcast Network. It’ll still be here, we just thought you should know.
Huuuge. Congrats.
Yes, congrats on getting featured on grantland. have enjoyed TBJ for the last few years and am looking forward to the next many years. Best of luck guys!
Are we still treating wins over the Lakers as impressive considering their season so far?
Looking how Bynum is playing and Kobe was on that game, I’d say yes, absolutely !
We don’t have to worry for the Lakers (now), they’re going to play easier teams at home for the weeks coming. Later is a different story…
Kind of miss the old features and Matt, but I really liked the show. You guys are all grown up!
Did not like the Jorts Jokes. He´s a 2nd rounder and gives all the effort in the world. Cant really say that about his teammates (ex. of course Shump!)
Ah, we’re just kidding, Dan. Love Jorts. He does hustle.
May be the best overdose yet, perfect balance of ball talk and ball-related nonsense. if guests are coming back next week, you should keep them short, like 5-8 minutes tops.
I turn this on this just so I don’t feel alone… like a cat.
the stuart smaley section was hilarious. laughed aloud with mike bibby being a piece of shit, carlos arroyo as diego montoya, and johan petro as a gas station attendant. great stuff.
Congrats on Grantland!
Just wondering: You’re talking about James Harden, and that he’s going to be Sixth Man this year, (or maybe J.Terry). At the same time you’re talking about how great the Blazers are and how great they have started the season. What about Crawford here? I think he has played a big part of Portland’s success as well, don’t you think? I say he’s playing at least as good as Harden, and he has the capability to get his second SMOY-award.
Nice work on Grantland. You guys are badasses. Well deserved.
Where’s Matt!? Come on guys..
City of Boston embraces “hard-working guy who plays the right way” (read: white).
Great show guys, but what happened to steppin on the beach? Easily the best part of the overdose every week
how bout releasing those heat-fan samples ?!?!!

i dont think the problem in NY is dantoni. if you want a hamburger, you dont order a pizza. if you want a defensive team, you dont hire him as the coach. if you want a team that gets out and runs and passes the ball, you dont build your team around a blackhole like carmelo. denver is doing better with the majority of the old knicks roster because they are comfortable with their identity and they arent forcing any “buying in” or choking their entire game through a supposed big three.
Hey, I’m the guy who made the Heat fan soundboard. Loved your riffing on it! Honored to be a part of the show. And you’re totally right—I’m ashamed I didn’t think to call it the Miami Soundboard Machine. For that, I deserve an enormous boooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Those out-of-the-box lines were amazing, especially Kurt and Carlos!
Unrelated: can Rubio challenge both ROY and 6th man? Has this been done before?
Yeah, it has been done before. Ben Gordon won the sixth man of the year and also was close to winning the Rookie of The Year.
Congrats on the Grantland Network addition, never really gave you guys a shot before today but really loved what I heard.
Thank you, my friend. Hope to keep seeing you around here!
Biggest mystery from the Tweet of the Week: Jimmy Buffett owns a Hyundai?
Big BOOOOO for the lack of Matty O! Free Matt Osten!
Great hoops chat to start year off, more laughing when Matty O is around tho. Also, thanks Skeets for simultaneously introducing me to Tiny Tower and ruining my productivity.
jimmy probably keeps a hyundai on every single island around the world
Steppin on the Beach, and Matty o needs to come back…… just sayin (otherwise I enjoyed it very much)
Great analysis as always! But you guys are too professional sounding now! You guys don’t sound as relaxed as you used to be!
Loved the Diaw Trey! lol
Stiemsma! We miss you. Come back to KBL!!!!!
Trey, you’re stupid. Fat fucker. Zaza! My name is Delonte – the Milf Hunter. Ugh, Charles Barkely is horrible at acting.
