Summary
Colin points out Luka Doncic's ball-dominant style is not sustainable for an extended playoff run as the Mavericks were dominated by the Thunder in game 1 of their second round series. He questions Jayson Tatum as a true Alpha for the Celtics as they continue to win in the postseason but Tatum remains their 3rd leading scorer. Plus, Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch joins the show to explain how he changed the culture in Minnesota from a perpetual lottery team to title contender

| 0:31.1 | Boy, do we have a lot to talk about. A lot of things going on. |
| 0:36.8 | In L.A. it's the herd wherever you may be and however you may be listening. Thanks for making us part of your day. I had a late night last night. I'm going to try to get through today's show, J. Mack. A little cigar hangover. Whatever. Nobody cares. Nobody cares. Wait. A cigar hangover? Hey, listen. The audience just wants performance. They just want me to go up here and talk. Are you as banged up as Luca right now? This will be my flu game. My cigar flu game. This is my MJ flu game. All right, well, I start with this. You know, I've said before, I think Luke is great. |
| 1:11.1 | It's going to end up one of the top five scores in league history, but I don't see him as a face of the league guy, and I don't see him as a guy holding trophy after trophy after trophy. He may be like Dirk, go get one. But again, number one usage rate player in the league. What does that mean? He's got the ball in his hands more than any player of the league. |
| 1:08.9 | And once again, like a James Hardin, you get to the postseason when you're the |

| 1:47.0 | regular season these usage rate guys that always have the ball in their hands it can work for |
| 1:54.0 | short runs like jalen brunson's doing it now in the playoffs but 82 games you get worn down all |

| 2:03.9 | And again, Lucas three-point shooting's got into the tank. |
| 2:07.6 | He's actually now playing defense as well. |
| 2:10.7 | So he's hobbled. |
| 2:12.3 | He comes in banged up, worn down, hobbled. |
| 2:15.4 | Jason kids playing him through all this, and he's not the same |
| 2:18.8 | player. So it's one of the things about maybe life in basketball, pick your spots. You know, |
| 2:23.6 | NFL, you got one game a week. If you're an offensive player, you got 55 plays. Same in hockey. |
