About this episode

Welcome to an action packed episode of The Old Man and The Three with special guests, Kevin Huerter of The Sacramento Kings and Alex Caruso of The Chicago Bulls. There's so much to get to in the so let's get to it. Topics include: JJ and Tommy preview Game 2 of The Western Conference Finals between LeBron James, Anthony Davis and The Los Angeles Lakers vs. Nikola Jokic and The Denver Nuggets series and the adjustments that will need to be made from each team. Then Kevin Huerter joins us to talk about his big season with The Sacramento Kings, digging into the JJ Redick / Kings animosity, Kevin on whether THE BEAM is something that Sacramento should continue to do given the expectations, what it's like playing for Mike Brown, his two-man game with Domantas Sabonis, the extremely clutch play of De'Aaron Fox and Stephen Curry's ICONIC Game 7 performance this year. Then Alex Caruso joins us to talk about how these playoffs sort of prove the Bubble Championship was almost an "anti-fluke", what is different about this Lakers vs. Nuggets match-up from this year to his championship year, how Anthony Davis is the most important player in the series, the disappointing season for The Chicago Bulls, seeing Jimmy Butler and The Miami Heat literally turn on a switch against them in the play-in game, how he would cover Jayson Tatum in these playoffs, talking about being named First Team All Defense and why Devin Booker and Donovan Mitchell are the toughest players to guard in the NBA.
