About this episode
Rich and the crew react to the news that the show has been nominated as the Sports Emmys ‘Outstanding Daily Studio Show.’ Rich explains why the LeBron James and the Lakers have a good shot to reach the NBA Finals and possibly win it all. The Athletic’s Senior NBA Insider Shams Charania tells Rich why the NBA Playoffs field is wide open this year, how Rudy Gobert’s suspension will impact the Minnesota Timberwolves against the Lakers, when/if the New Orleans Pelicans can expect Zion Williamson to return from his latest injury, if Ja Morant’s off-court issues could crater the Memphis Grizzlies’ title hopes, if the Clippers will get Paul George back for their first round series against the Suns, and if 76ers center Joel Embiid will be named NBA MVP this season. Rich and the guys debate if the Clippers vs Suns or Cavs vs Knicks will be the best first-round matchup of the NBA Playoffs? Rich ponders if the Tennessee Titans would be better off trading RB Derrick Henry to add draft capital to possibly move up in the NFL Draft to select Florida Gators quarterback Anthony Richardson.
