The Knuckleheads are back with their first Tap In of the new year. Q and D break down what they’re seeing across the NBA, including how impressed they are with Donovan Mitchell, why Aaron Gordon has been the difference maker for Denver, and how this year’s All-Star picks are almost impossible to decide. They also break down why we’re seeing so many high-scoring performances and 30-point averages throughout the league. And, of course, it wouldn’t be a Tap In without the Bol Bol shout-out of the week. Tune in!

0:32.0 | I'm happy to see how the Nesting put it together and they're in second place in the east right now, Boston is continuing to play good. |
0:42.0 | Yannis, one of the 30 point scores is leading his books the right way with you know, industries from middle 10, the second best player. |
0:52.0 | I think 76 is still figuring it out but it's good to figure it out when you're in fourth place and that means you're still winning a couple of games. |
1:00.0 | And I'm chaos man, you know, with Donovan Mitchell as one of the guys that they winning got in all season, he had a 71 point game, we'll talk about that later but I'm excited to see them top five teams I'm really excited for. |
1:15.0 | I think they all been doing work. I'm glad how the Nets after the cary situation and how the Nets put their head down and went to work and now they second in the east. |
