Hoops Tonight with Jason Timpf iHeartPodcasts and The Volume

Colin is joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to break down all the action from the NBA playoffs!

They start with the Nuggets evening the series 2-2 with the Timberwolves, why the schedule benefitted Denver (3:00), and why the series might come down to the battle between Karl-Anthony Towns vs Aaron Gordon (6:00). They try to project the trajectory for Anthony Edwards and compare his spectacular play and less than spectacular playoff results to early Michael Jordan. (11:00)

They debate whether Kevin Durant could be the missing piece for the Wolves or Kicks (15:30), whether the Celtics are just “very good” or truly elite (24:00), and whether Jayson Tatum is truly a #1 or the best #2 in the league (30:00).

They discuss whether the Lakers should take the risk of hiring J.J. Reddick as a first time head coach (37:00), and why they’d need a full buy-in from LeBron for it to work (42:45). They also both lean into the idea that LeBron would be best served stepping back into the #2 role (49:00).
