Podcast: Basketball Taboo – Episode #8 — The Sequel

Sure, we’d love to call Episode 8 the Basketball Taboo Playoff Extravaganza Podcast, but we already did that once. We’ll just call this one The Sequel.

This week, Manning and Riley continue to suffer from the NBA Playoff fever…

- Does the road get easier for the Lakers?
- Is this the year of Lebron?
- What happened to the Dallas Mavericks?

Also, Riley tries to defend his Miami Heat in 6 games prediction, Manning  jumps on the Celtics bandwagon and the guys break down the Lakers/Jazz series.

Be sure to follow Jason and Chris on Twitter and check out their preview for the Lakers, Jazz series on The No Look Pass.

Podcast: Basketball Taboo – Episode #7 — The Panic Button

The sky is falling in Los Angeles; or does it just appear that way? In this special Lakers edition of Basketball Taboo (Episode #7), Manning and Riley discuss the state of the Lake Show:

  • Is Kobe morphing from cyborg to human?
  • Does a Game 5 loss spell the end of the Kobe-led Lakers era?
  • Are the refs swinging this series in the favor of Oak City?

The guys also share their predictions for Game 5, and a refrain from examining the rest of the 2010 NBA Playoffs, something they promise to do in a second edition later this week.
