Description

On today's episode, Jason opens things up with a few thoughts on how the Dallas Mavericks were able to even their series at 2-2 against the Phoenix Suns. Aside from the schematic adjustments, the biggest change over the last two games has been the disappointing play of Chris Paul; Since the series shifted to Dallas, CP3 has been absolutely brutal on the court. Things even boiled over off the court as Paul's mother and wife were allegedly shoved by unruly Mavs fans late in the game. Unfortunately, fans behaving badly has become rather commonplace in NBA arenas the past few years, and Producer Rob G says the rise of social media and the mob mentality has played a big role in it. Later, our fearless leader does a deep dive into the Philadelphia 76ers' Game 4 win over Miami Heat. James Harden was fantastic for Philly, but Jimmy Butler put on a quite a show himself for Miami. Butler didn't get much help from his supporting cast in Game 4, and given how much money they have tied up into Kyle Lowry and Duncan Robinson, would it be all that shocking if he decided to leave the Heat this summer in search of a squad with more high-end talent? Just throwing it out there. Finally, the guys close the show by discussing why they're both expecting the Golden State Warriors to roll over the Ja Morant-less Memphis Grizzlies in Monday's Game 4. In fact, given how vulnerable Phoenix has looked the last two games, don't be surprised to see the Warriors pegged as the favorites to come out of the Western Conference this year.
