Summary

Devin went to Outback last night, tells us about his order and now Chris is questioning his credibility (3:00). Sixers beat the Magic. Is Tyrese Maxey universally liked by all NBA fans??? What happened to Paolo? Chris compares him standing in the corner to Ben Simmons and then says they should've fired their coach 2 months ago and it could've saved their season (12:17). Steph Curry did Curry things last night against the Clippers, Al Horford turned back the clock and Draymond Green locked up Kawhi (22:41). Jared Weiss covers the San Antonio Spurs for The Athletic. He joins the show live on Zoom to talk about the differences in covering the Spurs vs the Celtics, access to Wemby, what he's like, how he carries himself off the court, his focus, visiting Keldon Johnson's ranch, living in San Antonio and more (31:09). Tim McMahon wrote a Ja story today. We'll go through a little bit of it (1:18:52). NFL Draft is next week, NBA caved on the 65 game rule and Azzi Fudd got asked about her relationship with Paige Bueckers at her press conference (1:26:22).
