Justin Fensterman returns to the podcast to talk all things NBA playoffs at the start of Round 2!
We break down the first round first, starting with the absolute barnburner of a series the Timberwolves and Nuggets put on. We touch on the three Game 7s, two blown 3-1 leads by the Magic and Celtics, the Thunder sweeping and LeBron still doing it with the Lakers.
Then, we take a look at the conference semifinals -- if the Thunder can keep rolling on their way to a potential repeat, if the injured Timberwolves can hang with the Spurs, if the Pistons' youth will help them combat the Cavaliers' veteran leadership and the potential back-and-forth of the Knicks-76ers series. And, of course, we give some predictions for the conference finals and NBA Finals 🏀
