Dan and Grant reconvene for an annual tradition unlike any other: NBA ‘Truth or Trash?!’ Sure, some might call this rebranded ‘Fact or Fiction?’ But those people suck. ‘Truth or Trash?!’ is super creative and unique and something no one else has ever thought to do. Anyway…Our cool, hip, trendier ‘Fact or Fiction’ will focus on some of our earliest observations for the 2022-23 NBA season. Are the Los Angeles Lakers doomed, even if they trade Russell Westbrook? Are the New Orleans Pelicans title contenders already? Is Doc Rivers on his way out of Philadelphia? Should Devin Booker be the MVP favorite? We tackle all this…and more! TIMESTAMPS⬇️
