Drilla Words is back for another season exclusively on Amazon Music.

We asked people to bring in three words of meaning and significance to their lives.

We used that as a springboard for conversation.

And then at the end of the show, we asked them for a word that they'd be happy never to hear again.

So that's three little words we've made John Bishop and Tony Pitts listen to it every Friday exclusively on Amazon Music.

And this was a season that had so much promise, one of the preseason favorites to start the year of the Brooklyn Nets.

And it all fell apart.

The Brooklyn Nets are out of the playoffs. There's a new favorites go number one in the NFL draft.

And a top high school basketball player is turning pro, but not taking any money. From Wondery, I'm Matt Straub.

I'm Tiffany Oshinsky. It's Tuesday, April 26th. And this is starting five from the lead.

Come on, Matt. After everything we met fans have had to endure over the years, you know, all of the collapses.

You gotta believe in this year, new owner, new manager, new hopes. Okay. Well, let's get into today's headlines.

The first team to be officially knocked out of the NBA playoffs is the Brooklyn Nets who lost Game 4 to the Celtics on Monday.

Kevin Durant had easily his best game of the series with 39 points, but the Celtics held on behind 29 from Jason Tatum to sweep the series.

So, Strout, where does this leave the great Brooklyn Nets experiment, you know, looking forward to next season, you still have a foundation for a contender.

Yes, Ben Simmons is a question mark, but this team still has Katie under contract. Kyrie could sign a contract extension, and he presumably won't miss a ton of games because of his vaccination status next season.
