NBA Playoff Preview (Lillard's Dominance! Lakers Upset? Raptor Disrespect! Celtics Title Hopes) Tuukka's Opt-Out. Isles Deja Vu. MLB Playoff Bubble? Jerry Jones's Silence. Reinstate The Big 10?
Traveling through the sports landscape with a fury as, yours truly, delivers another jam-packed, sports podcast party on a historic Episode 150. On deck:
(3:18) Recapping the trail blazed by Damian Lillard as the bubble MVP will go against the mighty Lakers! Is there an upset in the making? Will the clock strike twelve for Portland? I’ll break down that series and all of the first round matchups, including the disrespect of the Raptors? And the Celtics title hopes hinge on a couple of veterans. Also, the firing of Pelicans’ coach, Alvin Gentry and Kings GM, Vlade Divac.
(31:25) Dissecting the decision made by Boston Bruins goalie, Tuukka Rask, to forego the rest of the postseason due to COVID-19. The Islanders are experiencing a deja vu of the first round, yet again. I’ll explain. I’ll review what the conference quarterfinals look like to date and the Rangers win the draft lottery??? Ugh! I have plenty to say about that.
(45:39) The Reds are the latest team to be affected by COVID-19. What does this mean now that this is the SECOND NL Central team to be impacted by the virus? Some key injuries with division leaders, in particular, the Yankees who won’t skip a beat. But can a bubble work in the postseason for the MLB? It could be a tall order, but I’ll go in-depth as to why it can work. And a brief rant on the Mets on their lost weekend in Philadelphia.
(1:01:56) The unlikely return of QB Alex Smith. Two of the leagues best tight ends sign enormous contracts, but Jerry Jones highlights the NFL segment as his silence has spoken volumes over the last three plus months. i’ll detail why he needs to speak up and not hold back for an owner whose never met a camera or microphone he didn’t like.
(1:06:47) How a QB from the Big Ten is using his voice and support to reinstate the conference in playing football this fall? It’s a mighty task that will be tough to overcome EVEN if the top coaches in the Big Ten (i.e. Jim Harbaugh, Ryan Day and Kirk Ferentz) were to speak up!
(1:11:21) My Hero and Zero of the Week.
