In this long episode of the Managing Madrid Podcast, I (Gabe Lezra) chat with Josh Zeitlin about the state of Real Madrid. We recap los blancos' 1-0 victory over Getafe, while taking an eye at Barcelona, who won 2-1 against Real Sociedad. We debate Pepe, and whether his presence and actions are undermining Real Madrid's image (and even whether he should be sold!) before talking about our "Things Of The Week"--a new segment on the show!
Then, I chat with Dean Karoliszyn, resident NBA expert, about the state of the NBA heading into the All Star break (are we really already almost there?). We debate who's the early favorite for Rookie of the Year (spoilers: it's either someone in Cleveland or someone in Minnesota), and break down the All Star selections. Plus, we chat a bit about some of the other NBA news of the week (can Samuel Dalembert PLEASE get more than SEVEN minutes? You're killing me here, Houston).
Oh, and don't forget to follow us on Twitter (@ManagingMadrid) and send us your questions for the show! We'll do our best to get to all the questions or comments we receive--just use the hashtag #MMPodcast! And "like" us on Facebook, and subscribe to the show on iTunes!

First of all....
Stop hating on Minnesota!! Second Blake Griffin is the most overrated player in Basketball. While he is a human highlight reel…the man can’t shoot to save his life. It’s really not even close between him and Kevin Love. Kevin Love offers so much more…he’s a double double machine night in night out. Very consistent shooter and he’ll also get you 12-13 rebounds a night. Just a great player.
As far as Ricky vs. Irving goes….Right now i’d say Irving is the better player. When he played the Wolves a month or so ago I couldn’t believe how good he was. If he improves his passing he could be just like a Chris Paul. Ricky’s ability to read the floor is up there with Magic, Pistol Pete, Nash and co. It’s really amazing to watch in person. If he could develop a consistent jumper he’d be unstoppable. He’ll be the best PG in the league in a couple years imo.
Finally I haven’t seen a ton of Euroleague but what I take from what I have seen is…Ricky’s style isn’t suited for European ball. The skills he has are much more suited for the NBA. A lot more pick and roll in the NBA which he’s great at. I think the reason he didn’t play was because he couldn’t shoot. Seems like in the Euroleague they rely on the 3 pointer way more than they do in the NBA. Pass first guys seem to get left behind and it really hurts the game over there. At least Real Madrid’s basketball team seems like that.
p.s…..the Packers suck and so do all New York teams :)
