Ric Bucher goes solo today to break down a ton that happened in the NBA over the weekend. He started out with his thoughts on the Lakers hiring Jason Kidd and the grief Ric got for discussing Kidd on Twitter over the weekend. Then, the difference between James Harden and Steph Curry in the Warriors/Rockets epic Game 6 (16:55). Why "nerd basketball" is taking a beating (23:41). Embiid, Simmons, Brett Brown and the Sixers woes after another early exit (33:29). And Kawhi Leonard's huge shot (39:20). Thanks for listening!
