A to Z podcast is just okay. I like the Dunc'd On podcast. Love that it's a daily podcast. Duncan is really good but Lareux can be clueless.

He doesn't seem defensive at all.
People (like the ones in this thread) come at him hundreds of times a day with complaints and hate. He responds some of the time normally telling them to use "Ctrl + F" or to point out where he actually said what they claimed he was saying.
As for him saying making All Star teams and MVP votes is "suffering" - obviously he's exaggerating and joking but I'd 1000% prefer a writer that puts TOO much thought and analysis into something over 98% of writers who don't watch games, make a vote based on "story" or "history", and teach the readers absolutely nothing new - even though they have 100x more access and time than the average fan does.
There was 0 wrong with that Bulls paragraph IMO. He was painting a picture of Thibs going out in classic Thibs style. He could've said that in one sentence but instead explained exactly how he did that. Benching young players, benching shooters who aren't that good defensively, playing a defense-first vet on his last legs. Not sure what the problem is.

I'm a podcast free agent now... I need content with Simmons out as well
I'm only listening to lebatard, brilliant idiots and the starters occasionally
And with Lebatard going to TV today I'll prob watch that now so I'll lose that option as well
I'll check out some of those mentioned

Some of the posts I've seen in this thread are actually good examples of why I am a little surprised it got here at all. Grantland was losing $, but a personnel solution was used to address a structure problem imo.
