In this exciting episode of The Hard CAP, Chris, Matt, and Peter are joined by a very special guest—former college basketball player, and friend of the pod, Alex Washington! The crew tips things off with a deep dive into the NBA Conference Finals matchups, breaking down key players, coaching strategies, and what each team needs to do to punch their ticket to the Finals.

Then it’s time for some friendly competition with the Second City Showdown—a trivia game that tests everyone’s knowledge of Chicago sports and beyond. Sparks fly, laughs are had, and rivalries are born.

Finally, things get weird (as they always do) with another edition of Matt Getz Anzwerz, where Matt throws out his trademark off-the-wall questions and forces the rest of the crew to give their best answers.

Packed with insight, banter, and a few buzzer-beaters of its own, this episode is one you won’t want to miss!
