Big Shot Bob – Ep 144 – The Christmas Jingles

We open the show this week with Ja Morant’s return to the NBA. Rob is really happy to see him back and we all loved the cinematic ending to win the game in his first game back, but the Grizzlies have a mountain to climb in the West. Plus, does the Spurs horrible record affect Wemby’s shot at Rookie of the Year? Especially considering how good Chet Holmgren has been playing as the Thunder continue to roll in the West. And of course we get deep into Draymond’s latest suspension, which screams of a much bigger problem for the Warriors. Rob thinks he will need to address his “on-court aggression” otherwise he may end up hurting his team and it will become a reflection on Steve Kerr’s coaching. Speaking of coaching, we also try to figure out why Ime Udoka is pouring fuel on the Dillon Brooks fire in Houston as opposed to finding a way to grab the reigns and teach this young team the right way to play. B-Dog also has a mixed reaction to the Lakers hanging an In-Season Tournament banner, as everyone believes that it’s nice to celebrate but feels “less than” every other banner in the rafters in Los Angeles. And with all the media buzz around Ant Man saying he wants to “cook LeBron”, Rob feels that is the right attitude to have, and he shouldn’t be dragged for wanting to face off against the best player on the floor. We also give our predictions for the College Football Playoff and who we think will be playing for a title when we return from the break. Shaquille O’Neal gets our Big Shot of the Week for FILLING a gym with gifts for Atlanta kids in need. And we round it out with a hilarious Christmas-themed edition of Black Crime or White Crime. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
