Welcome back to the Swishlist Podcast! In Season 3, Episode 30, we are breaking down a wild end to the first round and looking ahead to the massive matchups coming in the second round.

Is Nikola Jokic actually a top-tier all-time center? After an embarrassing first-round exit to a depleted Timberwolves team, we’re putting the 3x MVP on the hot seat. Plus, we discuss the Detroit Pistons' clutch Game 7 win, the Boston Celtics' coaching disaster, and why the Knicks might actually be the team to beat in the East.

In this episode:

The Pistons are for Real: Cade Cunningham and Tobias Harris shut down the Magic.

The Cavs Survive: Jared Allen’s historic 20-rebound performance.

The Joe Mazzulla Indictment: Why the Celtics' rotation cost them their season.

The Jokic Rant: Why you can't put him in the Shaq/Hakeem tier yet.

Round 2 Predictions: Wemby vs. Gobert and LeBron’s uphill battle against OKC.
