Sixers Upset Celtics, LeBron Finds A Way To Win, Wolves Are Underrated, Nuggets Need To Re-Tool

Colin's joined by Jason Timpf, host of "Hoops Tonight" to break down the NBA playoffs. They start with the Celtics being upset by the 76ers and they discuss Boston's dependence on their "system", why that system fell apart when Jayson Tatum can't play, and why Joel Embiid created massive problems for the Celtics defensively (3:00). They also preview the upcoming series between the Knicks and Sixers (15:30). They move to the western conference and Colin argues the Lakers win over the Rockets put the exclamation point on the argument that LeBron is better than Kevin Durant, and the series showed the gap between the two is bigger than ever (24:45). They pivot to the Timberwolves knocking off the Nuggets, and they debate whether we've been underrating the Wolves team & organization for years (35:30), and whether a young & inexperienced Spurs team can be trusted in the postseason (39:30). Colin argues the Nuggets need to shake things up and make some major moves in order to get over the hump and Jason suggests they look into acquiring CJ McCollum in order to move off Jamal Murray and finding an athletic forward to fill the role a younger Aaron Gordon filled (43:30).
