Is the modern NBA actually getting harder to watch? In this episode of Let’s Settle This, Grant and Jonathan dive into the rule changes that could make the league better for fans.

We throw out a whole slate of ideas: pushing back the three-point line, introducing a four-point line, cracking down hard on flopping, and finding ways to stop the endless complaining at referees. We also debate whether failed challenges should carry bigger penalties, if teams should be allowed franchise player tags, and whether the 82-game season is simply too long.

Plus, we explore bigger structural ideas like division realignment and using Elam Ending–style play to eliminate the late-game free-throw parade.

Some of these ideas might be brilliant. Some might be chaos. But the real question is: which ones would actually make the NBA better to watch?

Let’s settle this.

🎯 Let’s Settle This turns hypotheticals into full-contact conversation.

Every week, Grant and Jonathan dive into something that needs a definitive answer in TV, movies, or sports and they get to the bottom of it! Best TV shows? Movies you should see? Best dunk of the year? Yeah — we’re settling that.

NBA tanking is broken… so how do you actually solve it? We run through eleven possible fixes—from abolishing the lottery and the draft to relegation, fewer games, paying for wins, and fully randomizing the order—and argue our way toward the one that might really work.

Which idea saves the league, and which ones make everything worse?

It’s only February, but Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has us wondering if we’re already watching one of the best shows of the year. In this episode, we break down the first three episodes—why the pacing works, why we keep watching even when “nothing” is happening, and whether this story would be just as compelling without the Game of Thrones name attached.

🎯 Welcome to Let’s Settle This, the show where we look at TV, movies, sports, and special events and turn them into full-contact conversations.

February always looks stacked—but not everything deserves your time.

In this episode of Let’s Settle This, we run through what’s hitting screens, stadiums, and streaming queues in February 2026 and try to separate the real must-watches from the stuff that just looks good on paper.

We dig into the big cultural moments—the Winter Olympics, the Super Bowl, and the NBA All-Star Game—alongside a packed slate of movies and TV, including Burbs, Crime 101, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, Wuthering Heights, How to Make a Killing, The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, Paradise Season 2, Scrubs, and Monarch Season 2.

As always, this isn’t just a list—it’s a debate. What’s overhyped? What might sneak up on us? And what are we genuinely excited (or deeply skeptical) about heading into February?

54:08 Let's Settle This!

Back in January, we talked about the shows we were most excited to see in 2026. Now the pilots are here—and we went back to see how that anticipation held up.

This week, we revisit Starfleet Academy and A Knight of the 7 Kingdoms, digging into first impressions, tone, expectations, and what makes a pilot actually work. One show surprised us. One didn’t land the way we hoped. And both sparked bigger questions about franchises, storytelling scale, and what we really want from these worlds right now.

No spoilers—just honest reactions. Let’s settle this.
