Dishes and Dimes

Toronto finally has a WNBA team and we were THERE. Imman and Sandie break down the Toronto Tempo's season opener, the electric atmosphere at the arena, their hot takes on the team's look and branding, AND they go deep on the bigger WNBA conversation: Caitlin Clark as the "face of the league," Paige Bueckers taking over, A'ja Wilson's disrespect, and the fine line between fair criticism and misogyny in women's sports. Plus: Masai Ujiri heading to Dallas, the NBA playoffs check-in, and a heartfelt tribute to Brandon Clark.Timestamps0:00 – Intro & Welcome0:24 – Toronto Tempo Season Opener Reaction1:58 – Iman Was At the Game (Atmosphere, Celebs & Energy)4:39 – Real Fans Haven't Been Priced Out Yet6:02 – The WNBA Officiating Problem7:48 – Tempo Branding & Colors — Corporate Baddie?9:23 – Where Is the Mascot?!

Imman and Sandra go over their reaction to the Raptors tying the series with the Cavaliers and then devolve into pure joy filled slander of the Cleveland Cavaliers, James Harden, Evan Mobley, and the rest of the East. They also set their expectations for game 5 and the rest of the series, as well as provide updates for the upcoming Tempo season

Imman and Sandra are joined by Raptor Villain turned Therapist Justin Rowan @Cavsanada to discuss the state of the Raptors and Cavaliers playoff series, what hope if any there is for the Raptors, the Cavaliers outlook, and what silver linings to take from this playoff series as we head back to Toronto for Game 3.

Sandie and Imman talk about the Luke Kornet - Magic City controversy. They discuss what it really means for the NBA to care about women and where this conversation falls short when it comes to Luke Kornet. They also have a long awaited discussion on where they've been the past few years and have a heartfelt conversation discussing their personal battles and struggles. Everything from family losses to family additions. Check in on where these women have been.

Sandie and Imman are joined by Vivek Jacob of Yahoo Canada and Locked On Raptors. They discuss the Raptors punting at the deadline. Question if Bobby Webster is doing to Scottie Barnes what the Raptors did to Pascal Siakam. Take a look at the East at large and discuss some harsh truths in where the Raptors currently fit in.

Cohosts Sandra and Imman interview former NBA referee Tim Donaghy to discuss his 2007 betting Scandal.This episode was recorded MONTHS & MONTHS (not weeks ago) as part of an ongoing series we want to have, diving into the NBA's 2007 betting Scandal.Tim Donaghy, a former NBA referee from 1994 to 2007, was at the center of a scandal in 2007 when it was revealed that he had been betting on NBA games, including ones he officiated. He pleaded guilty to federal charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and received a 15-month prison sentence.The scandal sent shockwaves through the NBA and its fanbase, as it raised concerns about a referee compromising the integrity of the game. But there's a larger story here, one that goes beyond Donaghy. It's a story about the league's overall integrity, from the infamous Game 6 of the 2002 Western Conference Finals to the biases allegedly present in the NBA's officiating policies.In our upcoming interview with Tim Donaghy, he shares his criticisms of the NBA's officiating and asserts that the league is biased toward certain teams and players. He claims that that is how he picked winners in his bets. However, it's important to note that despite his claims, and the claims of the NBA that there is no evidence of Donaghy betting on his games, many do believe that he allegedly did. We acknowledge the doubts about his credibility, and we approach this conversation as part of a larger series. Our interview aims to unravel the complexities of the scandal and gain a comprehensive understanding of the NBA, its systems, and the delicate balance between competition and integrity. This is not an endorsement of Donaghy's claims but an exploration of a piece of the larger story.Again, this episode is part of a broader series that dives deeper into the NBA's biggest off-court stories. In the final episode, we'll interview Tim Livingston from the hit podcast series "Whistleblower."So get ready for an intriguing discussion, where we not only explore the scandal but also have some fun talking with a referee. Plus, we'll pick Donaghy's brain about the NBA's embrace of gambling in 2023 and his thoughts on the steps the league has taken to prevent future scandals. Learn more about your ad choices.

We started Dishes and Dimes to have conversations we weren't seeing elsewhere, we knew it wouldn't be easy but we felt it was necessary to talk about the world around the game. Today we spoke candidly and respectfully on some of the issues taking away from the on-court storylines and with a bit of humor because if you don't laugh, you cry. But there are some conversations that we didn't feel responsible for leading. We still want to have these conversations, but we want to be a part of the convo and if you'll join us we want to amplify voices that want a space to speak. Thank you for sticking with us, we love you.  Learn more about your ad choices.
