Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre - Jokic ...

iHeartPodcasts and The Volume
About this episode

On today’s episode, Jason kicks things off by sharing his thoughts on the viral incident between Nikola Jokic and Phoenix Suns owner Matt Ishbia during the Suns' Game 4 win over the Denver Nuggets. Some are already calling on Jokic to be suspended for Game 5, but J-Mac believes the whole thing is much ado about nothing. In fact, the big story to come out of this one should be how incredible Devin Booker has looked so far in the postseason. Later, Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) swings by to help make sense of the Philadelphia 76ers’ overtime win over the Boston Celtics. James Harden turned back the clock for the second time this series – and saved Joel Embiid from a boatload of criticism in the process. On the flip side, the Boston Celtics have to be kicking themselves for the way they melted down in overtime as both Jaylen Brown (giving up the go-ahead jumper to Harden) and Jayson Tatum (never even getting a game-winning shot off) made costly blunders. Finally, the guys close the show by making their Best Bets for Monday night’s NBA Playoffs action featuring the Miami Heat vs New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers vs Golden State Warriors.
