Orange Futures

Chris and Robert talk OKC v Pheonix game 2. A big call out and then talking about the other playoff series of note. Thanks for being here!

In this glorious episode Chris and Robert will talk about not enjoying officials and not enjoying Adam Silver. Also, we draft contenders!

Chris and Robert are back to talk about the most recent big news items and preview the In Season Tournament Quarter Finales. As you would expect, the conversation goes to many many places.

Welcome new Co-Host Robert. In this episode Chris and Robert talk about basketball. New art soon I guess. Happy turkey, turkey!

It's been a weird wild ride. Ben learned he doesn't know shit about basketball, and Chris realized his formidable analytics instincts. We made some friends along the way ( listen to the "No Gimmes" podcast!) as well as some tasteless jokes. There will be some special episodes and projects released through Orange Futures, but regular episodes are finished for now. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hello-fatboy/id1813533200Please subscribe to Hello Fatboy for more of the tasteless stuff and less basketball.

Another episode out here! Thank you for listening and sharing!

We're far apart but still posting entertaining content for our guys! Thanks for listening and always share what we got!

Everyone in Oklahoma has known it forever but Shai is finally a widely accepted MVP threat. Conspiracies and gossip consume the boys.

Jimmy is on the next speedboat outta Vice City. The Cavs are the real deal. The Rockets are impossible to pin down. Happy New Year!

Evan is back and we're just jackin around with the Rockets, Kings, and some other bozos. Lotta fun!

Not much to explain here. They stink, the whole east is trash, enjoy the episode.

Folks it's Election Day and by god I don't think we give a flip but we keep rolling with the latest news and stories you need to stay abreast of the avant garde NBA wave. It's a short wave this week but maybe y'all like that more. Let us know!

It's just two dudes shooting the ship about the new NBA season. You'll hear some very thought provoking stuff here.

Sorry for the late episode, not sorry for scorching your dad's cheeks with takes str8 from the underground where it's dark and hell is hot.

Shout out to Evan the Don this week for housing a mini hurricane while dicing up the new-look Warriors!

If you're already upset your NFL team sucks, give our new episode a listen and take solace in knowing your favorite NFL team isn't the Miami Heat, who have a lot of explaining to do!

Pistons fans, I get it. Lot of great history and legends. Rockets fans, I'm calling the cops. Enjoy the infinite well that feeds us all: potential!

Some of you enjoy NBA 2K25, a lot of you say you hate it and play it anyway. Evan was traveling, it's definitely the slowest NBA month, so enjoy Ben and Chris arguing and discussing stuff that isn't metrics, cap sheets, and draft forecasts.

Aaron Bollwinkle joins the boys today to discuss the silver lining in the Nets, the bright lights of the Clips futility, WNBA elite, and more. Like, Subscribe, Share, let us know what you think! Check out Aaron on Threads and his fantastic Substack! @aaron_bollwinkel livebreatheball.substack.com

Hi Mario! Sorry for the late post. We have some real miffed guys about the Christmas games, a decent future for the Great Salt Lake, absolute mayhem in Portland, and utter confusion in Atlanta. It goes on and on because we're finally having a good time. Share it with your friends!

We've got off-season reports for nobody's favorite teams in San Antonio, DC, and Queen City. We also discuss 76ers arena rebrand, TV deals, and adult stuttering. Bonjour, mon Frère!

We are Evan and Ben this week, discussing the Olympics and the last of the Major Trades. Buying high on the Kings and fire sale on Summer League. There's nothing worse than pro ball of no consequence. Like, Subscribe, Share With Friends, Pray For Chris.

We're over here swatting away all the rumors, all the positive outlooks, all the BAD takes you're getting, and giving you real, unfiltered Free Agency Smack. Get it in your veins, and say goodbye to the Clippers. Ben has gout, Evan's hungover, and Chris is in a great mood. What an insane show!

It's our first offseason episode. Not an ounce of Celtics talk, plenty of free agent and Lakers talk, and even some Pre-Draft crap you should know before the least-hyped NBA Draft of this century.

We sat down with Griff from the Show About Sports to talk about the finals and a little about the OKC off season! It went so well we decided you needed to hear it! Enjoy. Griffin's Pod: Show About Sports

If you're looking for hope that the Mavs aren't finished then Chris has what you need. Ben is convinced the Lakers should just hire Jim Carrey, and Evan isn't hearing your Luka injury takes, alright?

Chris and Evan roll out their most important players in the finals. It's classic hearts on fire v ice cold numbers. Ben's list has Dante Exum number one so we're not missing him here. If Dallas wins game one we're gonna start collecting beer run money!

We're back to basically preview the Boston-Dallas Finals. The Celtics have completed the sweep as I upload this, and I can't imagine Rudy Gobert is digging his Wolves out. You may notice a lack of discussion regarding a certain local team. It happened naturally and proves this thing can work!

With OKC out we can get to the business of trashing the remaining teams. But we don't! Not really, anyway. In depth analysis and takes you didn't know you needed for the 4 remaining teams. BUCKLE UP, BUTTERCUP.

The Knicks and Nuggets took their respective game 5's as I upload this. No matter! Our heavy insight and PASSION for the game always shine through. Plus, Chris and Evan dismantle AAU basketball while Ben's wife will never respect him again. Thanks for listening, and be sure to share!

It's the three kings, the NBA literati, all the marbles. Every matchup and a few game 1's are covered, as well as Kendrick Drake beef takes and a cat crashes the show.

Slight audio issues on this one. Won't happen again. Love you.

Chris and Evan break down the playoffs.

Karl Malone truther Kade joins Orange Futures this week to discuss the game, the culture, and the where we go from here. Folks, there are some cusses in this one.

Shane "The Nite Train Lorraine" Battier terrorized both East and West Conferences during the 2000's and change. Kinda stiff, kinda square, he was pretty much the original 3&D guy getting under everyone's skin like a Duke-blue shiv that always ruins your teams playoff runs. Enjoy!

It was boring as f*ck. Be honest. The Lakers didn't implode, and the Knicks became your next champs. Chris has all the insight, Ben speaks truth to power, you're getting the best summary of what many are calling the lamest trade deadline in NBA history.

The poor Jazz are really getting it now. Welcome to the big leagues, Salt Lake. Your many wives can't save you now.

How many loaded NBA teams can Doc drown in the playoffs? Milwaukee road trip! Thunder lost to the Pistons, Chris blows a gasket.

We cuss in this one. I'm sorry to all our family car ride listeners, but Ben can't keep his dirty mouth to himself anymore. Let's hear it for the Salt Lake Dynasty!

Utah is killing it, Julius is washed, Tatum's never MVP, LaVine's Laker nightmare, Warriors need to flip da scrip, and a bunch of stuff about Tulsa.

The career of Ricky Rubio was better than mine ever woulda been, and at least he kept his hairline!

An all-time squad, a historic run, and a new sound setup. Learn a little more about the NBA's premier G League squad and some other banter about Chris' dog. It's fun, it's free, it's Futures.

Ben is back but not in person as his newborn daughter isn't taking visitors. Coby White and the promise of a more Polish Chicago, a Clippers nobody (Ben) cares about, and the game ball scandal trying to keep up with the NFL. Sorry for the audio, Ben tried his best. It's been fixed for next week. Enjoy!

Sorry it's late, Chris is a himbo. Ben is out this week, Evan joins the show! Chris and Evan zoom around the league!

Hey everyone I'm on the way to the hospital to have my baby so this ep is not edited. I know Chris will kill me, but I ran outta time. Enjoy the rest of the tourno!

None of us know what Josh Giddey did or didn't do. What's important is how we fling conjecture and continue to disagree on how dumb the in-season tournament really is.

We do what must be done and break up the Bulls like agents of the state coming upon a dilapidated home that doesn't know how to win with what they got. Also we argue more about who's good and why.

Draymond Green was cool, now he's a try-hard 5th year senior left out the group chat. Also, other hard-hitting takes from the only NBA podcast left in the midwest.

We're talking Magic, Thunder, Jazz, Raps, Lakes, Hawks, Box, Rocks, and everything in between. If you're ready for another Warriors championship run, then you're ready to listen to Chris explain why Chet Holmgren is a dominant 5 in the West. Sponsored by the Kia Beethoven

Yeah we talk about the trade but not much because James is 39 and leading the league in assists now. Leave him alone!
