We have a packed episode of The Old Man and the Three this week! JJ and Tommy open the episode by discussing Nikola Jokic, Aaron Gordon, and the Denver Nuggets’ dominance in their second round series against Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert, Karl-Anthony Towns, and the Minnesota Timberwolves after being down 0-2. Then, they open up the mailbag to answer listener submitted questions about: what Cleveland Cavaliers should do looking ahead to their offseason with Evan Mobley, Donovan Mitchell, and Darius Garland; Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Isaiah Hartenstein, the New York Knicks and their series against Tyrese Halliburton and the Indiana Pacers; some of the best playoff atmospheres JJ has announced games and played in; PJ Washington’s emergence on the Dallas Mavericks as a third option for Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving; and more. Then, New Orleans Pelicans young star Trey Murphy joins to discuss his offseason, what makes Jalen Williams, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and the Oklahoma City Thunder so great, and what it was like playing the Wolves defense this season. He also discuss the next face of the league and the depth of amazing teams in the Western Conference. They close out the episode drafting jerseys of historical figures that they would wear. Let’s go!
