John and Nate discuss the key news of the week, with Mike Budenholzer being fired in Milwaukee and Dillion Brooks being told he will not return under “any circumstances” in Memphis. Then, a look at all 4 second round series through 2 games. Who has the advantage between LA and Golden State? Why has Denver gone out 2-0 against Phoenix, and who would Denver rather face in the Conference Finals? We also pick our MVP of the playoffs, discuss the best and worst coaching jobs, and biggest surprising and disappointing performances. And, of course, who has withstood the PLAYOFF CRUCIBLE?
