NBA Playoffs, winners & losers so far.
Today, Host Cathryn Naiker is joined by Oren Weisfeld to discuss the NBA Playoffs! What is their biggest pleasant surprise and biggest disappointment in the playoffs so far. Is this the end of a generation big 3 (LeBron, Steph & KD) dominating? Will they have another great run again in their careers? Who are we rooting for & more. Then they talk about Pascal Siakam dominating so far in the playoffs and all the Raptors fans online wishing he was still with the Raptors. Then they talk about the Knicks / 76ers series and the post game reports that get released after the refs make a mistake. What do we think of this series so far and what good does the post game report do? Then they talk about the raptors getting the 19th pick overall. The Hottie Highlight of the week is a choice between Karaoke and cars.

Finally Canada Basketball
Finally Canada Basketball is getting the coverage it deserves. Alex is doing a great job.
