Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre iHeartPodcasts

On today’s episode, Jason discusses a wild first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Why did the Atlanta Falcons take Michael Penix Jr. at #8 when they just gave Kirk Cousins a big contract in free agency? What does the fact that six quarterbacks were taken in the first twelve picks (Penix, Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, JJ McCarthy and Bo Nix) say about the future of the League moving forward? Will the Buffalo Bills trade for Brandon Aiyuk or Deebo Samuel before the Draft is over? J-Mac has the answer to all those questions – and more! Finally, our fearless leader closes the show with a quick recap of the Los Angeles Lakers getting put on the brink of elimination by the Denver Nuggets and Joel Embiid’s virtuoso performance to keep the Philadelphia 76ers’ season alive.

On today’s episode, Jason discusses why he’s more confident than ever in Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks being able to dispatch of Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers in round one, why the Phoenix Suns’ problems run much deeper than even their 0-2 series hole against the Minnesota Timberwolves and why the Milwaukee Bucks are going to need Giannis Antetokounmpo back sooner than later if they expect to have any chance of getting by the Indiana Pacers in round one.

On today’s episode, Jason discuss the Los Angeles Lakers' heartbreaking Game 2 loss to the Denver Nuggets after going up by 20 points in the second half, how much blame LeBron James deserves for the Lakers' latest meltdown in Denver and why presumptive MVP Nikola Jokic might actually be underrated all-time. Later, J-Mac recaps a wild finish in New York that saw the Knicks literally steal Game 2 from the Philadelphia 76ers to take a 2-0 series lead, why it's clear that Joel Embiid might not be the emotional leader the Sixers need him to be and whether the negative narratives surrounding Tom Thibodeau are warranted. Finally, Jason closes the show with this Best Bets for Tuesday night's NBA Playoffs action.

On today’s episode, Jason discusses the opening weekend of the NBA Playoffs, namely how the teams who seemingly had the 'most to prove' all showed up in a big way (Los Angeles Clippers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Cleveland Cavaliers and Milwaukee Bucks), if an early exit could force the Dallas Mavericks to break up the Kyrie Irving-Luka Doncic backcourt, whether or not we can expect the Los Angeles Lakers can turn their matchup with the Denver Nuggets into a competitive series, why Joel Embiid seems to put together more postseason clunkers than a player of his caliber should and how a deep postseason run could help turn Anthony Edwards into the Face of the NBA moving forward.
