Summary

In this episode, I chat with Dave DuFour from The Athletic. I ask Dave five important questions regarding the NBA Playoffs thus far.   1. Is the Mitchell-Murray Leap for real? Is this sustainable? 2. Do the Raptors have enough offensive firepower to overcome the Celtics and make this a series at least? 3. Who is the second best player in the Eastern conference right now? 4. What is Mike Budenholzer doing? 5. Clippers and Lakers get a big rest advantage against their opponents. Does this matter, and are they still on a collision course? Learn more about your ad choices.
