In this week's episode Katie and Sean break the news that UBB is coming to an end! This is the 2nd last episode in what has been a rewarding, time melting two years, and they couldn't have done it without you. In that vein, they also look back on the NBA season that was, its weird beats and bright spots, and try out the very last Segment We're Trying Out, with the return of Smilelytics in advance of this year's NBA Draft.

In this week's show Katie and Sean talk about The Finals and Pat Riley's contentious (to some) end of season presser, specifically the stuff he said about Kyle Lowry. Does Sean have a parasitic Raptors worm in his brain? Maybe. Should we not treat everything like a two-sided binary especially if it involves people? Yes. Then, in light of the wonderful news that Rasheed Wallace may be heading to the Lakers as an assistant coach, we ...

On today's show Sean and Katie talk about the ups and downs, the real mood swingy-ness, the all around volatility of this round of the NBA playoffs. Is it possible to sit back, relax and just watch really good basketball? It is, but you have to be chill about it.

On today's episode Katie and Sean talk about Joel Embiid's game winning shot to beat the Raptors in Game 3 as a vehicle for poetic justice and revenge, and think of some of their other fav instances around the NBA of the same. Did it count for the Warriors to come back and win against Cleveland the season after they blew a 3-1 lead, if all they did was sign Kevin Durant? You'll see! Then, Sean tries to stump Katie in the return of ...
