Trae Young Takes Over MSG, AD is the Ant...

About this episode

On today's episode, Jason share his thoughts on a wild weekend of NBA Playoff basketball. As a lifelong New York Knicks fan, it was tough to see some of the calls Trae Young got down the stretch of the Hawks' win over the Knicks. Even still, you've got to tip your cap to him; Young balled out throughout the game and he hit the game-winner in the final seconds. It's only been one game but it feels like the Hawks are in total control of the series. Shifting over to the Western Conference, the Phoenix Suns took care of business against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 1. Don't push the panic button, Lakers fans. We expected Phoenix to win this game given the fact that the Lakers just had a tough play-in game and historically have used Game 1's to feel out their opponent. The biggest story to take out of this game was the fact that Anthony Davis accepted full responsibility for his miserable performance. That's the mark of a true superstar. That's why they'll be fine moving forward. When's the last time Kawhi Leonard or Paul George owned how poorly they played in last year's playoffs? Case closed. Later, Los Angeles Clippers superfan Clipper Darrell swings by to explain how he became a diehard Clippers fan during the height of the Showtime Lakers Era, how he was able to develop off-the-court relationships with superstars like PG, Kawhi and James Harden, why he blames former head coach Glenn - don't call him Doc - Rivers for the Clippers postseason failures the past few years, why he's very confident that Kawhi, PG and the boys will be able to corral Luka Doncic enough to win this series after falling behind 0-1, why he believes Los Angeles Lakers big man Anthony Davis is 'soft', and much more!
