Summary
In this week's Point of Contention, Marcus Thompson and Ethan Strauss debate! Hosted by Zach Harper.
Take 1: Are we about to witness a play-in game for the ages? Los Angeles is still Golden State’s most likely opponent in a possible 7-8 matchup and that will be just what the TV ratings doctor ordered!
Take 2: Does the NBA teams need to put a stronger emphasis on bringing more veterans back into the league?
Take 3: Let’s just cut to the chase, when the Nets and 76ers finally play in the ECF who will win? (not answered)
Take 4: Finally the end of the regular season is upon us and it gives us one final shot at picking the Awards.
Take 5: Wizards guard Bradley Beal and his wife Kamiah put the full-court press on Kent Bazemore after he dismissed Beal’s Sunday night performance in which he dropped 50 points.
