Summary

Verno and KOC discuss the Bucks losing to the Pacers despite getting 54 points from Giannis, before discussing Adam Silver’s comments wishing that NBA media was more "NFL-like" (01:16). As the in-season tournament continues, Verno suggests an idea to help differentiate those games from the rest (21:40). Also, the most important game in podcast history: It’s the first "That’s True, That Might Be True, Or That’s Ridiculous" of the season (31:21). Was the Lakers' offseason overrated? Can Scottie Barnes be the best player on a championship team? Can the Timberwolves actually win the West? They debate these topics and more. Got a question for Verno and KOC?
