#thisleague UNCUT: Post-game show meets Coaching Carousel May 05, 2023

Show notes

Chris Haynes and Marc Stein connect for some instant Game 2 reaction after the Warriors even their second-round series with the Lakers in which they also assess the rest of the playoffs, then move on to tackle the news that Milwaukee has parted ways with championship-winning coach Mike Budenholzer ... and what that means next not only for the Bucks but the other teams (Toronto and Detroit) that also have coaching vacancies. In the middle of it all, Stein launches into passionate speeches about his love for "The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh" movie and "The White Shadow" TV series ... neither of which, to his great dismay, Haynes has ever seen.
