Havlicek Stole the Pod NBA Basketball Podcast

This week, Mark Allison and Justin Quinn do the unwelcome task of dissecting the two first-round losses to the Chicago Bulls in the NBA Playoffs, as well as a quick look at the other results around the league. We also talk about some guy almost none of you remember who played less than a quarter of the least memorable Celtics seasons in history (trust us, there's a reason), Ray Allen explaining why he didn't accept an offer to return to the Celts, and much more.

Gear up for the playoffs with Luis and Justin as they break down first round matchups in BOS and around the league. We talk about the whole field of 16 from top to bottom, with (of course) a focus on Chicago's series with the Boston Celtics. We also discuss how several key injuries may affect the landscape of both East and West playoff races, as well as more Knicks drama and much, much more.

(Note: This was recorded before we received the terrible news about Isaiah Thomas' sister, which will undoubtedly affect the series no matter how it plays out - our hearts our with him and his family at this most difficult of moments.)

This week's deep dive podcast takes on a controversial topic (tanking) from the most oppositional camps we could come up with - Lakers versus Celtics fandom - as ESPN's SportsNation and 82 Games alum Alton Labreque joins Justin Quinn to talk about the NBA Draft Lottery, the Lakers' and Celtics rebuilds, the "Process" and its legacy, and potential solutions to tanking along with a LOT more on the subject of incentivized losing and the power imbalances built into the draft.
