James Harden turns back the clock and scores a career playoff high 45 points as the Sixers steal game one in Boston without Joel Embiid. I cannot believe I just typed that. Sam and Trill discuss the Celtics Diaper Mode, Embiid's potential return during the series, and whether the winner of this series will go onto win the NBA finals. Then we talked about the Smol Bean Drafting Team Memphis Grizzlies leaking to Shams about letting Dillon Brooks walk in free agency this summer and whether he should be to blame for their playoff flame out. Finally we talk about the other second round matchups currently happening in the NBA and preview the Lakers Warriors series that begins tonight. Enjoy.
