Summary
Colin’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to break down all the NBA playoff action.
They start with the Warriors stealing game one on the road from the Rockets, and why their playoff experience was able to negate the Rockets athletic advantage (4:00). They break down why this was one of Steph Curry’s most impressive playoff performances (8:30), why Steve Kerr is incredible at finding the right “winning” players to surround their stars (11:30) and why Jimmy Butler is the perfect “get a bucket” guy they needed (13:30).
They pivot to the Lakers laying an egg in game 1 against the Timberwolves and Colin criticizes LeBron, Luka and co for their lack of intensity and energy (25:30). They give kudos to the Wolves for throwing a great opening round punch, and contrast Ant Edwards improvement to Ja Morant’s regression (31:00).
They move on to the Nuggets and why Denver’s reliance on Jokic to run the entire offense hamstrings his ability to be effective on defense, and Jason emphasizes why the Nuggets don’t have a choice to do it any other way (34:15). They point out the issues with the Clippers disjointed playmaking (36:15) and give credit to Russell Westbrook for the energy he brings to the floor(38:45)
Colin highlights all the seasoned veterans on both squads and why it’s going to make for an incredible, physical series (48:00)!
Finally, they predict a couple series sweeps (56:00), Colin offers some optimism about the Orlando Magic, and looks at a Houston/Kevin Durant pairing as a potential match made in heaven (1:00:30).
