Summary
Sam Amick, Fred Katz and Anthony Slater discuss the 2nd round of the playoffs including:
- Is Miami/Philly due to be a quick series (and related topics)?
- Is there something wrong with James Harden or is this what he is now? And if so, what does that mean for Philadelphia?
- Are the Suns the favorites after that coast-to-coast performance against Dallas?
- How should we be evaluating these 40-point playoff performances in Luka during losses?
- How does Boston respond to Giannis' Game 1 domination?
- Should the Grizzlies be worried that they had Game 1 at home with a full half of no Draymond Green, a mundane Steph performance and a bad shooting night from Klay, and they still lost?
