Straight Fire - The Bueckers-Fudd Conundrum, the 65-Game Reversal & an NBA Playoffs Preview

About this episode

Jason discusses the fallout from the Dallas Wings' handling of relationship questions and previews the NBA Playoffs.

On today’s episode, Jason discusses the fallout from the Dallas Wings trying to stifle relationship questions surrounding their two best players (Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd), and why the NBA made the right to call by giving Luka Doncic and Cade Cunningham exemptions to the 65-game rule and thus made them both eligible for All-NBA. Later, J-Mac predicts the upcoming NBA Playoffs in their entirety en route to the San Antonio Spurs hoisting the Larry O'Brien trophy at the end of June. Follow Jason on Twitter and Instagram .
