Summary

Ryen opens with the Knicks going up 3–2 and potentially figuring out the Hawks, along with the Celtics’ shooting variance striking again as they fail to close out the Sixers at home. Then, Ethan Strauss stops by to talk about why people hate the Thunder, whether their perceived advantages are real, modern officiating, Kevin Durant’s legacy, and the NBA’s proposed “fix” for tanking. Next, Trent Dilfer is back to break down several drafted quarterbacks, why some fail to live up to their talent, and where he thinks he fell short at UAB. Finally, Kyle and Ceruti join for some listener-submitted Life Advice, including a guy who thinks his life is over after college.
