April 29 FULL: Austin's return nears; KD's return, not so much; EOY voting results show Lakers tax
Reports are that Austin Reaves' return is looking pretty good for game five. The reports on Kevin Durant's are less positive. Anthony consider this a "please-win" game, also because of how OKC looked in sweeping the Suns. The guys react to the voting breakdown for the NBA's Executive of the Year award.

April 28 PART 1: Has this run improved the chances LeBron comes back? (yes, but...)
The Lakers have been a super tight group dating back to the beginning of March. LeBron James has been a big part of that. Have these couple months changed the chances that he returns next season?

April 28 PART 3: Could changes to the organization mean a return to GOLD jerseys?

April 27 FULL: Well there goes the sweep
While it would've been nice to sweep a team from Houston, it just wasn't in the cards. Anthony and Raj recap the loss, look ahead to game five and make fun of Ben Simmons for some reason.
1 hr 1 min
April 27 PART 1: That was pretty predictable (unless you're Raj apparently)
Anthony didn't have high hopes for this game. Raj did. We saw how it turned out. Frickin frick.
30 min
April 27 PART 2: "No hear me out I'm being serious"
