The nerds are joined by Matthew Sponhour of the Stay Hot podcast to discuss Anthony Edwards' ascent to a dominant playoff performer for the Minnesota Timberwolves and how Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and the Denver Nuggets must bounce back in Game 2. They also discuss how far Jalen Brunson can take the New York Knicks, what's next for Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns after a disappointing first-round exit, and whether Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner and the Orlando Magic should be more optimistic about their future despite losing to the Cavaliers.
