BBR is back! We catch up on the news that has come up over the past couple weeks, and we start off with Derrick Rose taking a break from the Cavs and maybe basketball for good.

Thunder, Rockets, and More!

November 11, 2017 • 86 mins
The 3-Man Pod is back! Trent joins Will and John and start off talking about what's wrong with the Thunder.
