Summary
The playoffs are off to an amazing start, but first IT talks about working out with top NBA prospect AJ Dybantsa this week and how excited he is for the young star. Then I.T. and C.J. dig into their biggest surprises: the Hawks and the Magic both showed up big against their higher-seeded opponents, sending panic through the Pistons and Knicks fanbases. And now that the Timberwolves have found a way to overwhelm Jokić, the Nuggets/Wolves series may be the best one in the lineup. C.J. and I.T. had a feeling LeBron was going to step into an elite playmaker role in the Lakers/Rockets series, but they never could've predicted a 27-point, 5/5 from deep shooting night for Luke Kennard.
