Summary

Bomani Jones breaks down a wild stretch of playoff basketball, starting with why Kevin Durant keeps catching blame in Houston and what the Rockets’ mess says about the team around him. He also gets into Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets getting pushed around by Minnesota, and the kind of James Harden playoff history that somehow never stops following him. Later, he discusses the impending showdown between the Spurs and the Thunder and why it's both the best and worst thing for the NBA. After that, Bomani hits on the Rams’ surprising Ty Simpson pick and what it says about Sean McVay, the Klay Thompson/Megan Thee Stallion breakup discourse, the strange fallout from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting, and a voicemail segment that turns into a great conversation about Nate Dogg, branding, and why being interesting still matters.
