On today’s pod, Britt Robson of The Athletic joins to take stock of what has been one of the most bizarre, but also fun, NBA playoffs. We start to look ahead to the Milwaukee Bucks and Phoenix Suns as the likely NBA Finals contenders, while also giving the Atlanta Hawks their due respect for an impressive run. As always, the conversation ranges all over the NBA, with many veers back to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Topics include:
- Milwaukee triumph without the traditional star core
- Chris Paul’s performance and his impact on his teammates, specifically DeAndre Ayton
- The Atlanta Hawks being a team who have left their mark in these playoffs as a team who has trappings of being a perennial contender in the East going forward
