Tom Haberstroh, Amin Elhassan and producer Anthony Mayes are getting serious deja vu from the Magic taking a 3-1 lead over the Pistons.
Tom dusts off the old research machine on players wearing the number zero, Amin has an inconvenient truth about Brad Stevens winning Executive of the Year, and Mayes wants to file an Extraordinary Circumstances grievance on behalf of Kon Knueppel.
Truth Teller Adam Mares of DNVR and the All City Network breaks down Nikola Jokic's struggles against Rudy Gobert, how the Nuggets are losing the PR battle, Aaron Gordon's importance and Michael Malone's fit at UNC.
