Summary

Rich and the guys react the Knicks blowing out the 76ers in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference Semifinal series, and to Anthony Edwards’ return from a knee injury to lead the Timberwolves to a Game 1 upset of Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs in San Antonio. ‘Club 520’ co-host Jeff Teague and Rich discuss the Boston Celtics’ early exit from the NBA Playoffs and if Boston should trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo in the offseason, if the LeBron and the shorthanded Lakers have a chance to win a game in their series against the Thunder, why the Knicks look like the team to beat in the East so far, if the Timberwolves Game 1 win over the Spurs was an aberration, weighs in on the NBA’s convoluted anti-tanking proposal, and more. Rich reacts to the Yankees’ tribute to longtime announcer John Sterling. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
