Fast Sean at the 1. Andy brings the heat, so he's at the 2 firing away. Swingman Carl at the 3. Big Daddy Hayes Bangin' and throwin 'bows at the 4. Gotta get a 5 off waivers or recruit earwolf tall man conan o'brian. Nick Wiger plastered to the damn bench.

What if the Austin Rivers’ play their home games on different immobilized ships and change their name to the Dock Rivers
Giannis AntetokounGOAT
Maybe tie the new location to a corporation instead of city? The Amazon HQ2 Packages. Disney's Marvel Cinematic Universe's guardians of the Paint Soundtrack. The Koch Industries Political Contributions. Or just a second team in Milwaukee called the Milwaukee Talkies.
Michael Hatchett
For anyone interested in the result of the bets last night: Points Leader was Westbrook with 44, Rebounds Leader was Westbrook with 14 (Carl's pick) and Assists Leader was Westbrook with 11 (Sean's pick) and Trae Young (!) who also had 11.

Just want to circle back and suggest that The Ones get on Cameo as well.

I think the MLB catcher that forgot how to throw back to the mound was Mackey Sasser.
Squeak Burrell
Carl's top 5 list is great but I can't believe Myles Turner isn't on it.
Josh Barnett
Indiana is a basketball MECCA, needs at least as many teams as New York: The Gary Old Man. Alternatively, in Ohio: The Columbus Shorts

Mike Piazza was the catcher for the Mets that had throwing issues, King

For anyone not on twitter, The Arch himself just weighed in on his new nickname: <a href="https://twitter.com/RyArch15/status/1096150152178479105" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/RyArch15/status/1096150152178479105</a>

Arizona could use another team. I propose the Tucson Bandits.
Ethan Graham
EDIT: Did Andy ride in on a the team jet from Miami? Cause he brought the Heat!

More NBA history is a good idea! I'm in a similar boat I'll take all the background info I can get as I try and learn the basics
Ashley Lange
Considering all I know about basketball is from playing in 5th grade in a small Montana town, I really appreciated the info about positions. As much as I love this podcast and the soothing cadence of naming B-Ball names I barely recognize, with handsome tall men to google, I like learning more about the sport so I can enjoy highlight reels. I'd love a segment on NBA history stuff that you think is cool. #queensforflagrantkings

Not really on twitter, but I do have ideas for some new expansion teams. First, Seattle needs a new team since the Sonics left - since the Sonics were too intense, how about the Seattle Tails? #MilesProwerPower. Or maybe basketball would work better in nearby Spokane, with the Spokane Words. #PoetryontheCourt. In the Midwest, Chicago might be the Second City, but they’re only home to their first basketball team. Give the collar counties something to cheer for with the Aurora Borealis. #ItsGlowTime. Finally, on the east coast, Portland Maine is done being confused with Portland Oregon. Help them stake out their own distinct identity as a true port city and put your hands together for your Portland SailRaisers. #SlipCity #BecauseBoatsCanBeStoredInSlips

we stan all the flagrant queens
Mairead Ryan
Carl shouting out us queens who listen to the podcast, thank you king 😍🙏
synthcurry
i didn’t know that the positions were also referred to as numbers. thanks for the info kings 🙏🏼

Someone beat me to suggesting the Jackson Five as a team name (respect), but some other ideas I had: The Wyoming Yao Mings The Lincoln Centers The Topeka Metropolitan Transit Authority The Reno 9-1-1s The Billings Addresses Are any of those anything?
Douglas “Scoop” Reinhardt
The LAnd magazine needs to update its top rappers in Los Angeles list to include Andy.
Sammyfein
Adam Silver legit needs to steal this idea for the next expansion team
Ethan Graham
Andy came in with the HEAT!
Tommy Luce
Seriously Embiid is one of the most fun and likeable players in the league
Eliana
Are the "unlikable" players on the Sixers unlikable to the boys because they're dirty Celtics fans or do fans of other teams also think that? Mainly I'm thinking of Embiid and Ben Simmons. I get that Butler sucks shit and can't disagree. #HereTheyCome
Phil Schade
specifically listing the positions and relative heights of the players. The rest was #flargrant
Phil Schade
basketball 101 was a bad segment.
Mike Najjar
I tweeted this but I want to suggest The Jackson Five as the replacement for the Austin Rivers. Gives love to Carl's Mississippi roots, oh and remind me how many players are on a court at the same time? Hmmm is it Five??? Oh shit thats right it is. Finally imagine how damn funky the music being played in that arena could be. It was right in front of our eyes the whole time.
Mike Durante
one quick correction for the Hayes man: you said the Bucks were #1 in the east but what you meant is the entire league
TKMooninite
I will pile on as well in awe of Andrew's motherfucking flow. #lookatgod #godkneisgod
Spencer Zierk
God Damn Andy! #LookAtGod #WeAreAllWitnesses
SC
Mount Rapmore please.
Eric McKay
King Los' performance in the Five Fingers of Death Black Thought's freestyle with Funk Flex Kendrick Lamar's verse in the TDE Cypher at the BET Awards Andy's verse on the Flagrant Ones That's the Mount Rushmore
James Fitzmaurice
The Austin Rivers should move to Boston and be the Boston Austin's.
Brandon Hunt
Andy blacked out like Cappadonna on Winter Warz. That was the verse he was born to rap!
