About this episode

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a deep dive into the Miami Heat's shocking Game 1 win over the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals. Boston is easily the most talented team in the NBA Playoffs but they have made a habit of tricking games away due to lack of focus. Gotta wonder how much of that falls at the feet of head coach Joe Mazzulla. Making matters worse was that Jason's guy - Jason Tatum - had a series sloppy turnovers in the final minutes, leading to some in the media to question whether he really is as good as our fearless leader thinks he is. Later, Jason discusses the reports that the Portland Trail Blazers are considering trading away the No. 3 overall pick and some of their young assets in an effort to build a championship contender around Damian Lillard. The only problem is it's hard to find a deal that Portland might make that would actually make them a title team, especially when you consider the fact that the Blazers would probably need to send out Anfernee Simons in any trade. Finally, J-Mac closes the show with his Best Bets for Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics.
