About the episode

Austin and Pausha start the week by breaking down “ring culture” (10:51) and discussing how to work through performance anxiety (19:47).

Then, they discuss which lower-seeded teams, among the Warriors, Lakers, Suns, and Timberwolves, would be the most competitive come playoff time (31:54).

Later, they hit on the awkward moment between Jayson Tatum and Steve Kerr (36:26), and then Austin shares the scarring moment Chris Paul snatched up Kobe’s game-worn 24 jersey … for his son (47:46).
