Hello and welcome to the Game Theory podcast. I'm here of Sam Vassini.

We're presented by The Athletic. Today we've got a great show scheduled.

It is with good friend of the program, Danny LaRue.

We're going to talk about the Nuggets Clippers series, which has quickly turned, actually very interesting and competitive.

We're going to talk about the Raptor Celtic series, which ended over the weekend. We're going to talk a little bit about some of the

insights we've learned so far from the playoffs. And then finally, we closed on the rockets and where

they go from here, because that is a fascinating team building experiment that

seems to have gone a bit wrong. So before we get there, though, I just want to let you know
