Summary

Verno and Jacoby break down tonight’s play-in games, starting with the Hawks-Magic matchup (01:44) and the Grizzlies-Warriors matchup (07:14). They then discuss tomorrow’s play-in matchups before debating the best possible scenarios that could come out of the play-in (16:32). Next, they get into the news of David Griffin’s firing in New Orleans (30:15) and Mike Budenholzer’s firing in Phoenix (36:37). With Joe Dumars expected to take over Griffin's role with the Pelicans, what will they do with Zion Williamson? Does Kevin Durant deserve to take some blame for the Suns’ disastrous season?
