Back to EpisodesEpisode 36: Playoff Check-in as Alex returns from OKC!
Description
Skit and Matt are overjoyed to welcome back Alex after a 2-week hiatus in the US to see some live playoff basketball. We get some of the run down from Alex about his once in a lifetime experience in the state of Oklahoma to see the first thunder home playoff games in 5 years(1:11).
Alex will be doing a solo-pod later this week to talk more about his OKC experience answering his co-hosts questions and prompts so make sure to check that out when it drops!
We move onto Head Coach Mark's coach of the year award (10:10) and discuss his successful philosophies as a coach of that young team. We proceed this by talking about the other sweep in the first round as the T-wolves see the sun set in phoenix (13:39), the rise of Anthony Edwards and the fall of Jusuf Nurkic.
The next topic which skit blows up matt's transition for was the clippers/mavericks game 4 with a masterclass in shotmaking from all stars (24:10). We move east to another battle of a series between the Seventy-Sixers and the Knickerbockers with the contested game 3 and fight from both coastal teams (34:26). We quickly move on to the injured riddled Bucks as they struggle to keep a fight with the "Deer in Fear" (38:18).
We ask if the the 2021 finals were a fluke? (45:23) and air some hot takes for round 2 (48:27) and briefly mention NikoLA (50:19). We close with a mixed conversation on why we will never have the GOAT conversation and let out some thunder bias.
Matt then does a post-pod addition discussing the retirement of Candace Parker (56:55).
