About this episode

The episode discusses the recent NBA playoffs, focusing on comebacks and collapses, including Jaylen Brown's reaction to the Celtics' loss.

Today’s word of the day is ‘onward’ as in the NBA playoffs as in the Pistons as in the Cavaliers as in 76ers. We had a couple of Game 7s and they all delivered. Two different teams came back from 3-1 deficits! Only 15 teams have ever done that and two happened on back to back nights! We start with what happened with the Nuggets though. A Jokic-led team blew it against a Timberwolves team without its three leading scorers! (8:00) The Boston Celtics blew a 3-1 lead at home! Joel Embiid was too big, too strong, too good. Jaylen Brown decided to have a livestream on Sunday and he went off on the referees. He went off on flopping. It was quite something. (23:20) The Orlando Magic fell apart. Another 3-1 lead. Another collapse. Never seen anything like Game 6. Credit to the Pistons for battling back. (31:30) One more thing about stadium planning! (35:00) The Cavaliers won their Game 7. Played against a Raptors team without Brandon Ingram and were too much. (39:00) Review: Crime 101. (41:30) NPPOD. (45:30) Miami is out of the Super Bowl rotation. A city that has hosted 11 Super Bowls. No more. Why? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
