Summary

Verno and Jacoby break down Monday night’s playoff action starting with the Warriors’ thrilling 109-106 win over the Rockets to take a 3-1 series lead (01:18). They then debate how real the Cavs are after a complete beatdown of the Heat as well as their expectations in the next round (16:05). With the news of Damian Lillard’s injury, where do the Bucks go from here? As an older team with aging vets, the guys debate if its time for Giannis to walk away from Milwaukee (21:37). They then discuss the Wolves-Lakers series and the performance of Anthony Edwards as well as Naz Reid and Jaden McDaniels (28:39). Next, the guys discuss how Karl Anthony-Towns and Jalen Brunson have carried the Knicks against the Pistons (39:27) and give predictions on which 3-1 series they think can still go the full 7 games (59:39).
