Is Paul George Bolting from OKC a certainty? Apr 30, 2018

Show notes

If Paul George does in fact bolt from OKC, will it be time for the Thunder to rebuild their entire franchise? Is there a way they can talk Carmelo Anthony into retirement? What if they could potentially trade Paul George for another disgruntled superstar small forward, such as a certain Kawhi Leonard? These topics are all answered, along with several other questions (such as LeBron vs MJ, again..., the potential for Donovan Mitchell and Ben Simmons, comparisons between the Toronto Raptors and a NBA championship team, and if DeMarcus Cousins value to the Pelicans). Check it out on episode 55 of the podcast!

LeBron and the Cavs survive against the Pacers, advance to play the Raptors Apr 29, 2018

Show notes

Episode 54 features a recap of the Cavs and Pacers game 7, a preview of the Cavs and Raptors series as well as a preview of the 76ers and Celtics, and a recap of the Jazz/ Rockets game 1.

Celtics dominate game 7, advance to play Philly! Apr 29, 2018

Show notes

It wasn't the most drama-filled game 7 in NBA history, but given their injury woes, it was one of the most impressive in recent memory. Boston now will take on the 76ers, and that should be interesting for a variety of reasons. We also take a look at the upcoming Rockets/Jazz series.

OKC Eliminated In 6 Games; Cavs pushed to the limit Apr 28, 2018

Show notes

One of the most controversial non-calls in NBA history has helped end the Thunder's underachieving season in the first round. Is it right to blame the officials for the result? Should we be frustrated as fans, or merely accept it and move on? Also, we saw a change in strategy from Indiana lead to a dominant victory for the Pacers, and Toronto take care of the Wizards.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and The Bucks Force Game 7! Apr 27, 2018

Show notes

Led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee Bucks survived an elimination game against the Boston Celtics at home. Can they take out the Celtics in Boston? Also in this podcast we take a look at the upcoming Pelicans/ Warriors matchup, and I answer some user questions.

Historic Performances by LeBron and Westbrook Apr 26, 2018

Show notes

Day 12 of the playoffs saw 2 historic performances by 2 of the marquee players in the NBA under immense pressure. Lebron delivered 44 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists along with a buzzer-beating 3 to get the Cavs over the line against the Pacers. Westbrook had 34 points in the second half to lead the charge back from 25 points down to keep the Thunder alive in their series against the Jazz. What does all this mean in the long run though? Can the Thunder walk into Utah and force a game 7? Can LeBron lead his team to a big win on the road to avoid a game 7 back in Cleveland?

Have Dwyane Wade and Manu Ginobili played their final NBA game? Apr 25, 2018

Show notes

Day 11 of the NBA playoffs saw two teams eliminated, and with that, perhaps ending two storied careers of Dwyane Wade and Manu Ginobili. If those were their last games, what is their legacy, and how do their franchises look moving forward? Also in this episode is a recap of game 5 between the Bucks and Celtics, along with potential areas of concern for the 76ers as they advance, and a preview of game 5 between the Jazz and Thunder.

Is Russell Westbrook's Legacy In Danger? Apr 24, 2018

Show notes

After another shockingly bad display against the Utah Jazz, is Russell Westbrook's legacy in danger of taking a hit similar to LeBron's after the 2011 NBA finals? The parallels are there to begin asking the question: he won the MVP the year prior with a subpar supporting cast and then gets some talented teammates, only to be outplayed by a rookie and a guy from the scrap heap in the previous off-season. Also you have his inability to score in the 4th quarter playing a big role in his team losing, so it isn't just the fact that he's team is losing, but he might be the biggest reason they are losing. Can he recover and lead a historic comeback, or are they toast?

NBA Playoffs Day 9 Recap Apr 23, 2018

Show notes

Day 9 of the NBA playoffs had 4 games, and the team trailing in the series all winning to create 3 2-2 series already. Out of those games, we saw the Cavs battle in Indiana, The Wizards fight back against the Raptors, and the Bucks hold on for *ahem* dear (couldn't resist) life against the Celtics.

NBA Playoffs day 8 Recap Apr 22, 2018

Show notes

Day 8 of the NBA playoffs saw Ricky Rubio dominate, the Pelicans get out the brooms, Philly go on the verge of advancing, and Minnesota show signs of life. I was also able to answer a couple of questions quickly regarding who Portland should look to bring in to help Lillard and what it would take for the Knicks to move Porzingis.
