On today’s show, Dane is joined by Britt Robson from MinnPost to discuss the NBA awards that came out this week — focusing on All-Defense (Jaden!) and All-NBA — before moving into conversation on what has shaped up to be an exciting and surprisingly competitive Round 2 of the NBA playoffs. Specific topics today include...

— All-Defensive teams announced, and Jaden McDaniels not making one of the two teams

— Reactions to All-NBA teams

— The Denver Nuggets, the team Tim Connelly built, being the favorite to win the Finals

— James Harden and the concept of the volatile star player

— Broader thoughts on Nuggets-Suns, Sixers-Celtics, Lakers-Warriors and Knicks-Heat
