  • The 2026 Autopsy Reports: Warriors & Hornets

    The 2026 Autopsy Reports: Warriors & Hornets
    Apr 22 2026
    In this episode of The Baseline NBA Podcast, we dive into another edition of The Autopsy Report, breaking down the current state of the Golden State Warriors and Charlotte Hornets.

    For Golden State, we examine what’s gone wrong — Is this the final run with Kerr, Draymond and Steph under "The Town" from roster construction and inconsistent production to the challenges of sustaining a championship core in today’s NBA

    On the other side, the Charlotte Hornets have shown flashes of promise but continue to search for consistency and identity. We analyze their development, key contributors, and what must change for them to take the next step in the Eastern Conference.

    From coaching decisions and player performance to long-term outlook and roster direction, we break down the critical factors shaping both teams’ futures.

    Inside the Jail Blazers: A missed dynasty that almost broke the Lakers with Sascha Gardner
    Apr 15 2026
    In this episode, we sit down with documentary filmmaker Sascha Gardner, one of the creative minds behind Netflix’s acclaimed Untold series. Known for uncovering the deeper stories behind some of sports’ most misunderstood moments, Gardner joins us to discuss his latest project, Untold: Jail Blazers.

    We dive into the story of the early 2000s Portland Trail Blazers—an immensely talented team whose legacy became overshadowed by controversy and the infamous “Jail Blazers” label. Gardner breaks down the inspiration behind the film, the untold perspectives from players and insiders, and how media narratives helped shape the team’s public image. This conversation goes beyond basketball, exploring themes of identity, perception, and the fine line between reputation and reality.
