Summary
Round 1 of the playoffs is in the books and there's a lot to recap! The Pistons very nearly lost their season to the 8-seed Orlando Magic. The shorthanded Timberwolves managed to defeat the Nuggets. And somehow, some way, the Celtics ended their amazing season in the first round at the hands of the Sixers. I.T. also weighs in on the rumors that Steve Kerr may be retiring this year and the well-deserved Sixth Man and Most Improved Player Awards. Then we get back into sneakerhead territory as C.J makes I.T. select the best Nike Basketball shoe of all time in a new head-to-head segment.
