About the episode
Verno and Jacoby break down the exciting pair of games from Monday night, starting off with the unbelievable performance by Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers as they evened up their series against the Nuggets (01:25). Next, Jacoby shares his experience watching the Pistons get their first playoff win since 2008 to even up their series against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden (18:37). Verno then begrudgingly discusses what it’ll take for the Grizzlies to win a game in their series against the Thunder after they lost by 51 over the weekend (38:30). Also, they discuss why Dame needs to return to spice up the Bucks-Pacers series (48:05), what kind of response the Lakers will have after getting embarrassed by the Wolves (51:18), and why Ime Udoka should lean into the Rockets’ size against the Warriors (01:00:09).
