Summary

Adam Spinella joins Sam Vecenie to break down the early games on the NBA Playoff slate today. First, they dive deep into Knicks-Cavs, breaking down some tape on how Jalen Brunson is dominating the Cavs' defensive plans to overhelp in the paint, and how the Cavs are not doing a good enough job in terms of offensive gameplanning to get their players the ball in the best positions to succeed, as seen by the dominant run they had in the third quarter. Then, we'll dive into Warriors-Kings and how the Warriors tied the series 2-2. Then, we'll chat some NBA Draft. Then, we break down five players that we think have the highest upside in the 2023 NBA Draft OUTSIDE of the consensus top-four upside players (Victor Wembanyama, Scoot Henderson, Brandon Miller, Amen Thompson).

0:20.9	Again, we're going to dive deep into Knicks Cavs to start because the Knicks Caves
0:27.0	series is the series that I was most excited about from a schematic perspective.
0:31.8	And frankly, all of the schematic things that I was excited to see play out on the court have played out in incredibly interesting ways.
0:41.8	It's just not that competitive of a series, unfortunately.
0:45.0	The Knicks are up three to one.
0:46.5	They look like clearly the better team because, frankly, I think they have a pretty significant coaching advantage that i want to dive into a little bit
0:54.6	more uh they also have a real roster advantage that we'll also dive into but there's a lot going on
1:00.2	there i think from a coaching perspective that is interesting then we're going to talk about the purest
1:04.4	of vibes games that just occurred before uh we started recording here, the Warriors Kings, 126, 125 Warriors, one of the most fun,
1:16.0	wild, weird, enjoyable basketball games that I can remember. It was like watching a different
1:21.8	sport than Nick's Cavs after that opening game today. I had an absolute blast watching Warriors Caves or Warriors
1:30.5	Kings. And I have no idea where that series goes now. It's a beautiful, beautiful mess of a series.
1:35.3	And I love it so much. And then we're going to talk about some upside NBA draft prospects.
