Colin explains why KD’s decision to team up with Kyrie Irving will leave a permanent mark on his legacy, why bad officiating doesn’t mean officials are rigging playoff games, how the Bucks offense is thriving without an injured Khris Middleton, and what Lincoln Riley saw about the future of Oklahoma football that made him bail for USC.

Then, First Things First co-host - and host of the What's Wright? podcast - Nick Wright joins Colin to discuss the collapse of the KD/ Kyrie partnership (19:00), what’s specifically gone wrong against the Celtics (23:00), if the Nets should pay Kyrie or let him walk (27:00), if this playoff collapse permanently stains KD’s legacy (31:00), if Nick is ready to admit Jayson Tatum is superstar (33:00), how James Harden has been the opposite of Ben Simmons since his trade to Philly (37:00), and why Colin decided to dust off his USC pom-poms for the Lincoln Riley era (48:00).

This is Prime Cuts! The best of The Colin Cowherd Podcast. First, Colin’s top takes of the week, including why the NBA Playoff ratings have been higher than normal and why Steve Ballmer would probably like a refund on Kawhi and Paul George.

Then, The Athletic NBA Writer Marcus Thompson discusses how much blame Steve Nash deserves in the Nets Game 1 loss to the Celtics, and who’s the odd man out in the Warriors big picture plans with the emergence of Jordan Poole.

Next, 9-year NBA veteran Chandler Parsons looks at if Kyrie went over the line by flipping off Boston fans, what he learned playing for Billy Donovan, and what his non-baller friends don’t appreciate about NBA players.

Finally, Michigan State Head Coach Mel discusses what Nick Saban does better than any other coach, if there is any reason to friendly with rival Jim Harbaugh, and what he immediately sold him on Kenneth Walker III.
