Kevin O’Connor and Tom Haberstroh go over the electric first-round matchups in the NBA. The pair discuss the brewing comebacks, from LeBron James’ Los Angeles Lakers potentially blowing a 3-0 lead to the Houston Rockets, to the rejuvenated Philadelphia 76ers winning against the Boston Celtics in Game 5. They then talk about the recently eliminated Suns & Trail Blazers and what they should prioritize in the offseason. Plus, the pair debates the validity of the NBA’s proposed “3-2-1" lottery system.
