On today's show Ben Golliver and special guest co-host Rob Mahoney of Sports Illustrated send off 2018 in style by running through the major Christmas Day storylines and offering their top NBA New Year's resolutions. What were their instant reactions to LeBron James's injury? Was LeBron player tanking? What's up with Stephen Curry's Christmas struggles and are they, as a reader suggests, indicative of a larger failing? Plus, did Philly's loss to Boston reveal Ben Simmons's future as a trade target? Ben and Rob then offer some behind-the-scenes thoughts on their profiles of rookies Jaren Jackson Jr. and Luka Doncic, respectively, before offering advice for 2019 to Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid. Note: Andrew Sharp is vacationing in Oman, somehow, and will return next week.
