Summary
On today’s episode, Jason discusses Victor Wembanyama’s scintillating playoff debut for the San Antonio Spurs, whether the top-seeded Detroit Pistons should be on upset alert after dropping Game 1 to the Orlando Magic, why the Lakers’ Game 1 win over Houston says more about the Rockets than it does about Los Angeles, and whether we should expect the Denver Nuggets and the New York Knicks to go up 2-0 on Monday night. Later, J-Mac tells us why has a big problem with the Cincinnati Bengals giving up the 10th overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft for Pro Bowl defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence.
