Summary

Bomani Jones is joined by ESPN's Vinnie Goodwill to break down all the second-half storylines for the NBA. First, they discuss the ALL-Star game's issues, which are fixable and which are not. Later, they break down the Western Conference race, whether the Rockets have issues beyond the Kevin Durant Files, the emerging Spurs-Thunder rivalry, and whether Anthony Edwards or Nikola Jokic can drag their teams to the NBA Finals. Finally, they discuss the potential insanity of Jayson Tatum returning to the Boston Celtics less than one year after his Achilles injury and whether it's Finals or bust for the New York Knicks.
