Big Shot Bob – Ep 255 – The Birdman Hand Rub

Episode 255 of the Big Shot Bob Podcast features Robert Horry, Brandon Harper, and Rob Jenners reacting to the NBA play-ins and early playoff picture. Horry recommends the Jerry West documentary on Prime and shares his relationship with West, praising his candid leadership. The hosts break down Charlotte’s win over Miami and debate the controversial play involving Bam, arguing it should have been reviewed and likely upgraded to a flagrant, while also discussing why Charlotte is a fun team to watch.

They cover Portland’s play-in win, highlighting Jrue Holiday’s leadership and Portland’s defense, then preview upcoming matchups including Warriors–Clippers, Magic–76ers (with Joel Embiid out after appendix surgery), and give series picks for Lakers–Rockets, Nuggets–Timberwolves, Knicks–Hawks, and Cavaliers–Raptors. They discuss Doc Rivers being fired by Milwaukee and Giannis’ uncertain comments, name an Oklahoma principal who stopped a school shooter as Big Shot of the Week, and finish with a playoff-stats “Who’s Bigger” game.
