Episode Notes
Bomani Jones reacts to a wild NBA playoff weekend as the Celtics’ season ends, the Nuggets’ championship window gets a lot more complicated, and the New York Knicks suddenly have no excuse not to win the East.
Bo breaks down why Boston may no longer be the same team that won the title, what Jason Tatum’s injury means for the Celtics going forward, and why the margins have gotten so tight for recent NBA champions. Then, he looks at Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets’ playoff exit, and why the backlash to Denver says as much about NBA discourse as it does about Jokic himself.
Plus, Bomani explains why the Knicks should now be viewed as the favorite in the East, why Madison Square Garden is facing its biggest basketball pressure in decades, and why New York fans are right to expect this team to get it done.
He also discusses his viral clip discussing The Wire vs. The Sopranos, the return of Verzuz and takes more of your voicemails!
