SVP and Steve recap a big first weekend of the NBA and NHL Playoffs. The best thing of the past week was the Sabres claiming their first playoff win in 15 years. The guys discuss the scene in Buffalo, Monaco’s call and more. In the NBA, Wemby had a dominant game one that has many thinking the Spurs could win it all. But could they despite the postseason inexperience? SVP then shares his thoughts on the way SGA is officiated, acknowledging both sides of the argument. LeBron is still doing it at 41 and the Magic pulled off the upset in game one, but can the Lakers and Orlando do it four times? SVP also makes a bold prediction on Steve Kerr, while Stanford Steve offers a suggestion. Plus, Steve shares his hilarious experience at the Nationals game with his family, the guys give their thoughts on the Dexter Lawrence trade, SVP shares an important flag football story and Steve has a bone to pick with refs in 12 y/o 3v3 hoops. | SVPod
