You're not kidding. I'm trying to knock out 2-3 episodes a day if I have time. On the basketball episode right now.

The basketball episode was the one that really set the hook in me after not being quite sure about the first half of season 1.
I believe it was, or at least close to, the introduction of Prop Joe who became one of my favorite characters.
The Herc and Carver dynamic was great, "Maybe we won."
The dialouge from the game itself was fantastic. Everything from Avon ripping apart the ref to comparing Joe to Pat Riley.
The part that really hooked me though was the gritty drama of the detail finally figuring out who Avon was and following through the streets. The way Avon made eye contact with and taunted Lester was one of my favorite parts of the entire series.
