On today’s episode, Jason and Producer Rob G kick things off with a discussion on the Atlanta Hawks’ come-from-behind victory over the Philadelphia 76ers to even the series at 2-2. Joel Embiid shot just 4-of-20 in the game (0-for-12 in the second half) in what was easily the worst postseason game of his career. It’s unclear whether it was his gimpy knee or a night out on the town that led to Embiid’s ugly shooting night, but in any event, Philly simply cannot afford a repeat performance. While we’re on the subject, could you argue than an offense built around Ben Simmons – and not Embiid – could actually have more potential? Perhaps. Later, the guys do a deep dive into the bombshell article in The Athletic detailing Luka Doncic’s frustrations with a certain member of the Dallas Mavericks front office. Is Luka really the kind of guy to execute a power play this early in his career? If so, he may have even more in common with Magic Johnson than we thought. Finally, the guys wrap things up with a quick preview of tonight’s pivotal Game 5 between the Brooklyn Nets and the Milwaukee Bucks. With James Harden and Kyrie Irving ruled out with injury, will Kevin Durant get enough help from ‘the others’ to pull the upset?
