    If you're an NBA sicko, this is the episode for you. Today JJ Redick and Tommy Alter welcome in Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones of The Dunker Spot podcast to get into the nuts and bolts of what's going on in these NBA playoffs. First we dive into the Miami Heat vs. New York Knicks series and the adjustments Tom Thibodeau has made on the floor. We also talk about what Jalen Brunson has done to open up his offense and how Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo can counter. Next we talk about The Los Angeles Lakers vs. The Golden State Warriors series. Why is there such a free throw discrepancy? Can The Lakers go all the way with LeBron James shooting like this? Will Stephen Curry finally have a big 3-point shooting night? And what is going on with Klay Thompson? All of these questions will be answered. And finally, the guys talk Boston Celtics vs. Philadelphia 76ers and how James Harden has expanded his offensive game even further next to Joel Embiid. And the guys talk about some of the issues that come with having two superstars like Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.

Dan Bremner ,

The best NBA show of any kind!

No NBA show is as insightful or as entertaining as this one. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

The Salt & Pepper Cracker ,

Love the pod

Hey guys

First off I love your pod. When I listen to y’all it feels like when I’m discussing sports with buddies. And secretly rooting for you JJ in the raptors coaching search.

I’m sorry I didn’t send this on twitter but my mental health comes first and Twitter is a cesspool.

I only wanted to say regarding Ja Morant. In short I feel badly for the kid for 2 reasons.

1. Nothing can prepare you for the level of scrutiny you get from the public until you’re in it. The amount of pressure he must face on a daily basis must be ridiculous and I don’t think there are many 23 year olds who would or could handle it well. Myself included.

2. He clearly wants to have his boys around and have some semblance of normalcy and he should especially if you’re a celebrity and feel like you’re in a bubble.

But I also fear for him. I think of the Plaxico Burress case and how it robbed him of future earnings and separated him from his family for a time. Accidents happen and if you keep playing with fire you’ll end up getting burned.

Thank you for the hours of entertainment and Go Raps!

Pat from Vancity ,

My new favourite podcast!!

I’ve been a huge NBA fan for 25+ years and I only recently discovered JJ’s podcast. Wish I found out about this sooner! I highly recommend this to any basketball fan. JJ and Tommy do a fantastic job engaging with their guests. They are intelligent, thoughtful, and funny, and if I could give this podcast 100 stars I would. I gained so much insight not only about basketball but also other random facts that keep listeners entertained. Keep up the good work boys!! Shoutout from Vancouver, BC Canada (home of the original Grizzles!!)
