Summary

On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones reacts to the NBA Conference Finals being set and the newest Caitlin Clark vs Angel Reese tussle. Bo starts off the show by saying this is the most fun outcome we could've gotten for the NBA Conference Finals because we are exiting the dynasty saga era (2:14). Bo continues to explain why we're trending towards a 1 superstar per team phase in the NBA (9:10) and why these remaining four teams still may feel incomplete (11:17). Bo transitions to the WNBA where we saw another scuffle between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark, which prompts Bo to ask how can we enjoy the WNBA without being chronically online (27:01)? Bo declares that it's hardly ever about just basketball with the WNBA lately (27:42) and it's obvious Clark and Reese do not like each other (30:08). And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving the Diddy Trial jury members, why fur is making a comeback and the United CEO pleading that Newark Airport is safe (38:30). Then Bomani listens to some voicemails about someone you knew that had brothers you wanted no problems with (47:28).

0:51.4	I'm inclined to believe you are a hater. Speaking of haters, we will talk about a world that seems to swim with haters from all directions and all persuasions just a little bit later.
1:01.5	The WNBA and the people who watch it, even the ones who don't really watch it, is driving me crazy.
1:07.3	But first, we have the Final Four for the NBA set. I know it's not called the Final Four. Don't have to make it a capital final. Capital Four. You know what I'm saying? That's trademarked by somebody else. But we have got to the conference finals in both conferences. And, and, and, and, and, I'm going to throw this out here. And I hope it doesn't seem
1:28.8	like I am constructing a straw man. I don't feel like I have constructing a straw man. And I do
1:33.6	feel like historically, this has been something that people have a tendency to do. And there's
1:37.9	certainly possible that this could happen once we get around to the NBA finals. But to me,
1:42.3	this is very important. We all need to remember this, okay?
