Steve Nash is The Coach Kyrie Irving Nee...

About this episode

On today's episode, Jason opens things up by telling a personal story to illustrate just how much of a degenerate gambler he is, and gets into a heated debate with Producer Rob about whether or not Steve Nash is the right man to lead the Brooklyn Nets. Jason argues that Nash is precisely the kind of coach that Kyrie Irving needs, and Rob says Nash never deserved the job in the first place. Plus, Jason says he's still confident as ever in the Boston Celtics after losing to the Toronto Raptors at the buzzer, and explains why the rest of the NBA should have a healthy fear of the Los Angeles Clippers after the way they dominated the Denver Nuggets in Game 1. Finally, Jason looks to keep the hot streak rolling by taking the underdog Houston Rockets to cover the spread against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in the Friday edition of the Best Bet.
