Description
In this week's Point of Contention, Marcus Thompson and Ethan Strauss debate. Hosted by Zach Harper.
Take 1: On Monday night the Nuggets lost Jamal Murray to a season ending ACL tear to his left knee. Murray suffered the noncontact injury during the Nuggets' 116-107 loss to the Golden State Warriors. A truly BRUTAL injury.
Take 2: An Enormous Mistake! First it was Luka Doncic criticizing the NBA’s play-in tournament, now it’s Mark Cuban. In a series of messages sent to ESPN, the Mavs owner said this…
Take 3: Fellas, while you were away, Im not sure if you noticed, but James Wiseman was injured, and will be out indefinitely with a torn meniscus. As a result, questions immediately began to swirl on whether the Warriors should pack it in and tank the rest of the season.
Take 4: Continuing our weekly look at the NBA MVP race with BetMGM.com... and it’s still Nicola Jocic at the top at -160, followed by Joel Embiid at +225, then Damian Lillard +1000 and LeBron James +1200. Ethan if I gave you $1000 dollars, who would you bet on?
Take 5: Fellas, I’d like you to get out your crystal balls...who will win the Eastern Conference this year?
