Summary

It's official: Jalen Brunson and the Knicks have eliminated Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and the rest of the 76ers after game six last night. Charlotte and Amin recap that game, and preview New York's round two opponent: the Indiana Pacers. They also predict which remaining round one series will go all the way to game seven: Clippers vs Mavericks, or Magic vs Cavaliers? And in honor of Star Wars Day tomorrow, Amin explains the beloved movie franchise to Charlotte in terms she'll actually understand: NBA comparisons. He explains why Grogu is like Victor Wembanyama, Jimmy Butler is like Darth Maul, and Ja Morant is like Kylo Ren. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
