The Colin Cowherd Podcast 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).

Colin’s top takes of the week!

He explains why the on-air chemistry of Inside The NBA is so good and so rare that NBC needs to be extremely careful to ensure the crew stays together (2:00)

Then he’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to debate whether Anthony Edwards could become the next “face of the league” (6:30) make their projections for Caitlin Clark in the WNBA (16:30) and address what offseason moves the Phoenix Suns need to make after getting swept in the first round (25:00).

Then, Colin is joined by Nick Wright, host of “First Things First” on FS1!

They address the backlash to Colin’s  “backwards hat” take from J.J. Reddick and LeBron James (31:00). They talk about the history of the take, why it’s become a running bit, and why it shouldn’t be taken too seriously. 

Colin argues that the Bengals are one more Joe Burrow injury away from needing to draft an early round quarterback (37:30) and Nick explains why he won’t be playing any violins for Kirk Cousins (40:00)

They give their reactions to the Roast of Tom Brady (46:00 and Nick shares a story of the time when he participated in a roast… and it backfired spectacularly (53:00)

Finally, they push back on Austin Rivers’ comment that 30 NBA players could play in the NFL and they list the much shorter list of players that actually could make the jump to football (55:00).

Don’t forget to check back for part two of the conversation with Nick!

First, Colin starts by explaining the importance of on-air chemistry in television, and why NBC needs to proceed with caution if they end up bringing Inside the NBA over to their network… especially if Ernie Johnson won’t leave TNT. (3:00)

Then he’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” on the Volume to dissect all the NBA playoff action!

They start with the heightened importance of the Nuggets vs Wolves series after the Wolves steal game 1 (7:30), why it has the potential to catapult Anthony Edwards to “face of the league” status (9:30), and why he doesn’t have a true comp (20:00).

Then they break down yet another no-show playoff exit for the Clippers and (25:45) debate whether the Mavs are a true title contender (30:00) They ask whether the Knicks can make the leap or if they’ll regress next year (34:30), and what move do the Suns need to make (39:00)

Colin argues that not all the criticism of Darvin Ham is fair (46:30) they give their outlook on Caitlin Clark as a WNBA player (54:00), and Colin explains why she’ll get him to watch more WNBA (59:00).
