In today’s podcast, Austin and Dante discuss the current state of the NBA playoffs. Starting with Thursday night’s games, the two discuss the keys to victory for the Toronto Raptors and San Antonio Spurs. They also discuss Pop’s comments regarding Kawhi Leonard‘s standing in the league’s hierarchy. Following that, they discuss the play of point guards in the league, its over-saturation of talent, and possible expansion. Seattle is the obvious number one, but who else could be a potential option for expansion?
Looking forward to Friday’s games, the duo predict winners and possible Game Sevens in the first round before talking about problems with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Moving into the second round, Dante and Austin rank their most interesting second round matchups. After speaking about the Indiana Pacers’ uncertain future with the departure of President Larry Bird, they take a mailbag question, discussing the most underrated players in the league.
