Summary

On this episode of Numbers On The Board, Kenny, Pierre, Mike, and Darrick try to predict exactly how they think this postseason will go from the Play-In to the playoffs. Does the NOTB crew have Jayson Tatum and the Celtics going back-to-back as champs? Could Shai Gilgeous-Alexander or Donovan Mitchell accelerate their Hall of Fame cases by winning their first ring? Will LeBron secure his fifth ring while Luka gets his very first? Will lightning strike twice with Jimmy Butler as this time he helps guide the Warriors from the Play-In to the NBA Finals? Or how about the Knicks finally winning a title for the first time since…1973?! Plus, on “Drop The Mike”, the fellas discuss teams that need to have deep runs or else changes could be coming in the summer. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
