In a welcome-back episode, Scott tackles the All-Star Game and player motivation.
Why don't NBA players play hard in the ASG?
How do we get them to push harder?
The dunk contest, skills competition and game are in need of some overhaul. It's time to get back to ball and stop with all the circus stuff.

The League and all of basketball is suffering from the disease discovered by Diddy.
This week we're addressing this problem.....a lack of aggression. Scott looks at who is winning by attacking and who has hit a wall because they won't run through it. We also address the Doc Rivers era in Milwaukee and why he's the wrong man for that job and maybe others. And as always we'll tell you which games matter this week.\

The season is halfway done! Some teams never had a chance and they're stealing season ticket revenues from their fans and Scott isn't afraid to call them out on it. Check out who's not even trying and who isn't good at trying. It's also time to say our goodbyes to some franchises in the twilight of their runs. Father Time is undefeated and this is a business. We're also looking at a trade that doesn't move the meter for either team.....which is unfortunate when one of them has some potential.
