Summary

Pistons took Game 1 against Cleveland last night and Chris wonders is defense all the way back??? Look at the scoring from the Spurs/Wolves, OKC/Lakers and this one last night. Chris argues you can have offensively deficient players on the court now but you can't have defensively deficient players (3:48). Lakers took Game 1 from OKC and Roser gets called out and has to defend a certain Lakers player (20:00). Nick Wright defended Memphis on Bill Simmons podcast saying Memphis deserves good NBA Draft Lottery karma (30:12). Joel Embiid is out (33:30). Will more teams care about what your defensive potential is now in the NBA Draft and which player does that help most? Chris gives his thoughts (55:09). Pacers and Clippers are in a X battle (1:18:00) and the NBA Most Overrated Players list is out (1:23:35).
