In this episode, the hosts kick things off by dissecting the thrilling outcome of a Game 7 matchup between the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets, spotlighting the magic of Stephen Curry and the unexpected heroics of Buddy Hield, who nailed nine three-pointers to outscore the entire Rockets team (00:02:23). They break down Curry’s shot selection and the challenges he faces under defensive pressure, as well as how double-teams force his teammates to step up in crucial moments.
The discussion then shifts to the mathematical battle of three-point shooting between the Warriors and Rockets (00:04:38), highlighting how Houston’s inability to keep pace from deep could shape their future. Amidst the Rockets’ struggles, Amen Thompson emerges as a bright spot for the franchise (00:07:14), and the hosts discuss how young teams grow from tough playoff losses (00:11:08).
Looking ahead, the show previews the Warriors vs. Timberwolves series (00:14:31) and anticipates the narrative of the next playoff matchups (00:17:26), before reacting to common Game One overreactions (00:20:46). The hosts also provide a detailed Cleveland vs. Indiana analysis (00:24:00), followed by closing thoughts on the second round as a whole (00:26:45).
They then examine the Clippers’ latest postseason meltdown (00:31:30), before diving into an in-depth preview of the Boston Celtics vs. New York Knicks series (00:35:39). With historical context and roster breakdowns, the hosts lean toward a confident Celtics sweep—while respecting playoff unpredictability. Coaching strategies and playoff adjustments take the spotlight next (00:38:34), leading to broader league discussions including Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future in Milwaukee (00:43:15) and Greg Popovich’s lasting NBA legacy (00:47:34).
To close out the episode, the conversation turns to NFL headlines, including the surprising release of kicker Justin Tucker (00:50:12), and wraps with a celebration of Julian Edelman’s Hall of Fame induction (01:00:46).
Since October 11, 2015, hosts Will Alimonos and Zach Bishop have been breaking down the biggest stories in sports, entertainment, and pop culture—from March Madness upsets to NFL trade rumors and blockbuster movies.
