About the episode
Verno and Jacoby go through last night’s Warriors win over the Lakers and discuss the takeaways from both teams’ perspectives (01:25). They highlight the importance of the role players for each team and why the performances of those role players are key for any kind of deep run. They then discuss the Grizzles’ much-needed win against the Heat before focusing their attention on the hypocrisy from the NBA regarding players using the finger-guns gesture after hitting 3-point shots (15:10). Why has the NBA singled out Ja Morant when there’s clear evidence that other players use the gesture? After Giannis’s 20-assist triple-double in the Bucks’ win over the Sixers, the guys discuss how far the Bucks can go with this version of Giannis and how wild it is that Giannis has no chance to win MVP despite the numbers he’s been putting up (40:30). Finally, the guys discuss the teams, players, and things they loved and loathed from this week.
