The nerds give their takeaways from the first heavyweight meeting between Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s Oklahoma City Thunder and Nikola Jokic’s Denver Nuggets, breaking down what we learned in this potential WCF preview. Then, they react to the NBA’s all-star team announcements, discussing Kawhi Leonard’s insane snubbing, the controversial decision to include LeBron James, the historically weak East and whether we should be concerned about the struggles of the “snubbed” Alperen Sengün. Finally, they discuss how the Cleveland Cavaliers improved by trading away DeAndre Hunter for Keon Ellis and Dennis Schroder.
