Summary
On today's episode, Jason explains why Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers should feel very fortunate to be tied 1-1 in their first round series against the Dallas Mavericks given how thoroughly they've been outplayed thus far, tells us why you shouldn't be surprised that 'Playoff P' Paul George wet the bed again in Game 2, and heaps tons of praise on Luka Doncic for being the best player in the series through two games. Jason also pours one out for the Philadelphia 76ers as it appears as though The Process is on it's last legs, and he and Producer Rob discuss potential landing spots for any Joel Embiid trade. Plus, Los Angeles Times Lakers beat writer Tania Ganguli swings by to discuss what went wrong for LeBron James and Anthony Davis in Game 1 against Portland, and tells us what they need to do differently if they want to even things up in Game 2. Finally, Jason looks to get back in the win column with his Best Bet for Thursday night's slate of NBA Playoffs games.

| 0:42.1 | Well, well, well. A Thursday podcast, straight fire and boy, |
| 0:47.4 | I'm going to be breathing some serious fire today. The Clippers choked. |
| 0:53.3 | What a gag job by LA. Oh my goodness. Folks, right off the bat, |
| 0:57.3 | I got to start with this. Also, reminder, subscribe, rate, and review. Tell all your friends, |
| 1:02.5 | the usual stuff that everybody says to get their podcast hyped. Almost two weeks in the books, |
| 1:07.9 | but I got to go in on the Clippers from the jump here. First of all, there is a serious whiff of |
| 1:13.6 | fraudulence in this bubble, okay? The Milwaukee Bucks came in a dominant team, historically great |
| 1:20.4 | in the regular season. They looked kind of eh, eh, eh, in that restart with the eight games, |
| 1:26.5 | Yannis delivering the headbutt, okay? Then you go to the Lakers who couldn't throw it in the ocean |
| 1:34.4 | in the restart offense pedestrian. They lose. They're opener to Portland. So you got the Bucks, |
| 1:41.6 | the number one team, they gag away their first game to the Orlando Magic. Lakers, they lose to Portland. |
| 1:48.4 | And now you have the Clippers, another team that was up and down in the restart, just never really |
| 1:53.1 | had everybody together. Montres, Harold was in and out of the lineup. In and out of the bubble, |
| 1:57.0 | I'm sorry, Patrick Beverly in and out of the lineup. You've got load management fraud, |
