Show Notes
We talk some trainwreck NBA teams including:
Coach LeBron James is having issues in Cleveland.
In Sacramento, Vlade Divac is sticking around. Also, George Karl is apparently bad at motivating players.
In Los Angeles, there's a lot of weirdness going on with D'Angelo Russell and Nick Young.
The Bulls are in freefall, is it a chemistry issue with Hoiberg and Jimmy Butler?
We talk about Batman v. Superman and Patrick's regret at seeing it. We reference a few other good podcasts on the subject including "That Thing You Like" and "Kevin Smith."
Patrick wonders why they couldn't use better source material, like "For the Man who Has Everything."
