Summary

Colin’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight”!

They start with their takeaways from March Madness, why elite defense makes all the difference in the later rounds of the tournament, and why Cooper Flagg projects to be the next iteration of Jayson Tatum (3:30). They break down why college basketball is a far better money making and brand building opportunity for young basketball players compared to playing in the G-League (8:00).

They react to LeBron’s comments on Pat McAfee’s show comparing NBA eras and explain why it’s completely pointless because of how much the game has changed (14:00). They discuss why the Celtics effort has separated them from other top teams in the era of resting and load management, and why they should be favorites to win the title (23:15).

They debate whether a dominant regular season will translate in the playoffs for the young OKC Thunder roster, and whether they have a weakness that could sink them in a series (29:00). They dissect the Lakers postseason chances and whether Austin Reeves improved play could power them to the finals (34:30).

They explain why Jonathon Kuminga has become the odd man out of the Warriors rotation heading into the playoffs (40:00), and Colin expresses frustration with Luka Doncic’s lack of leadership and defensive effort when compared to LeBron (52:00).

Finally, they discuss whether there’s anything the NBA can do to avoid tanking when transformational talent is so easy to identify early and incentivizes teams to tank (58:00).
