On today’s episode, Jason discusses the Dallas Mavericks’ inexplicable second-half meltdown in Game 4 that allowed the Oklahoma City Thunder to even the series 2-2, why Luka Doncic’s uneven play (coupled with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s stellar play) in this postseason could ultimately be what does in the Mavs, the narrative that LeBron James was sending a message to the Los Angeles Lakers brass with his decision to sit courtside at a Cleveland Cavaliers playoff game on Monday night and how the WNBA and NFL are capitalizing on their growing popularity in ways that the NBA just isn’t these days. Finally, J-Mac closes the show with his Best Bets for the slate of Tuesday night NBA Playoffs action.
