The Herd with Colin Cowherd

First, Colin reacts to the weekend NBA Playoff action (3:00), including why the Nets should feel confident despite dropping Game 1 to the Celtics, if he’s buying the T’Wolves after stealing one from the Grizzlies, why Bucks/Bulls is the perfect example for why the NBA should shorten the first round, and why Steve Ballmer can’t be happy with his franchise players.

Then, The Athletic NBA Writer Marcus Thompson joins Colin to discuss if Steve Nash deserves blame for the Nets Game 1 loss (11:00), if Brooklyn still has the upper hand despite the loss (14:00), who’s the odd man out in the Warriors big picture plans with the emergence of Jordan Poole (21:00), if the Dubs believe they can beat the Suns (27:00), if there’s anyway for the Lakers to pull out of their downward spiral (31:00), if any team is capable of pulling off a huge postseason upset (36:00), and what makes Draymond so unique in today's NBA (40:00).

John breaks down the myth of the “safe” draft pick, why the NFL doesn’t need a play in tournament style to create urgency, why he doesn’t have a problem with Baker’s recent podcast appearance venting about the Browns, if the dog is OK, and why he’s not as  bullish on Russell Wilson and the Broncos as the public.
