What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Hardwood Knocks brings the right mixture of numbers, eye test, and personality, striking the rare balance between entertaining and informative. The season preview pods (one per team) are especially deep and excellent listening!

mjsrafael · Oct 2024

Dan and Grant are some of my favorites. Their knowledge is wide ranging and true sicko stuff. They’re funny and unbiased in their equal coverage of all 30 teams, which is refreshing as a fan of a currently bad small market team that is often overlooked and dismissed by other national shows.

Klick Hopper · Sep 2024

I’m really enjoying the team previews. Dan really shows great respect to his guests and allows them to show what they know, unlike some other pod-hogs out there. He’s very dedicated and puts the work in.

BlazersAxe · Aug 2024

Love the chemistry between Dan and grant and enjoy them being so smart about how they think about the game and league while not being so smug about it like a lot of other shows I’ve heard. Big fan, love this show

I used to love this podcast and then... the ads made it almost unlistenable. Way too many and they cut in with no notice. The transitions are so jarring that they actually affect the listening experience. Unfortunate bc this used to the best nba podcast.
