The Ringer's Tate Frazier is joined by J. Kyle Mann to discuss the narrative that Round 1 of the playoffs has been a dud and to give an easy and effective fix to make Round 1 fun again (4:38). They also run through Tate's big takeaways from the NBA weekend, including Steph Curry's almost-disastrous technical foul, who the no. 1 option is on the Suns, the Knicks' new playoff ceiling, and more (13:50).
