Summary
If you're an NBA sicko, this is the episode for you. Today JJ Redick and Tommy Alter welcome in Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones of The Dunker Spot podcast to get into the nuts and bolts of what's going on in these NBA playoffs. First we dive into the Miami Heat vs. New York Knicks series and the adjustments Tom Thibodeau has made on the floor. We also talk about what Jalen Brunson has done to open up his offense and how Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo can counter. Next we talk about The Los Angeles Lakers vs. The Golden State Warriors series. Why is there such a free throw discrepancy? Can The Lakers go all the way with LeBron James shooting like this? Will Stephen Curry finally have a big 3-point shooting night? And what is going on with Klay Thompson? All of these questions will be answered. And finally, the guys talk Boston Celtics vs. Philadelphia 76ers and how James Harden has expanded his offensive game even further next to Joel Embiid. And the guys talk about some of the issues that come with having two superstars like Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
