PLAYOFFS BEGIN: Blazers-Spurs Preview, LaMelo Ball’s DIRTY Play, Miami Heat Offseason Questions
The Portland Trail Blazers mount a comeback against the Phoenix Suns, powered by Deni Avdija’s superstar night. Is this young core finally turning the corner, or will the San Antonio Spurs’ inexperience be the real X-factor in the next round?
Wes Goldberg, Matt Moore, and Haize examine Avdija’s breakout, key matchups ahead—like Clingan vs. Wembanyama—and why no one should underestimate Portland’s gritty series potential.
LaMelo Ball ignites controversy with a game-altering trip on Bam Adebayo as the Charlotte Hornets edge out the Miami Heat in overtime. The panel debates whether LaMelo deserves a suspension and what Miami must do to escape mediocrity this offseason. Plus, questions swirl around the Golden State Warriors as Steve Kerr puts Steph Curry on a minutes limit before a must-win showdown against the Clippers. Will the Warriors chase the playoffs, or is a high lottery pick the smarter move?

LeMello has tried to trip Bam before.
red head being a hater😂
Thank you Matt for pointing out the obvious about Miami. Thanx for putting Wes on the spot cause Wes is the first one to say you can't trade Bam. It's time to change the Bam and Herro duo
I will never forgive PHX for giving us a Spurs series where I'm forced to watch Deni Advija 😭😭😭
Why was Lamelo on the ground in the first place? He got knocked into Bam by Fontecchio, which should’ve been a foul to begin with. And Bam’s foot was on the line before he kicked the ball out on a fast break, resulting in two points for the Heat. We should address the whole hierarchy of missed calls.
Bam making $50 mill with a ceiling of the 10th seed is a disaster for the Heat. That team will be mid until Bam is 33 and the contract is out
Matt seems like he does his research in the comment section
Somebody kick Matt’s dog before today’s show?😂
Who is this Matt guy??? Doesn’t sound like he watches games

Play in was the best decision the NBA has made in years.
Giannis will play for Portland Trailblazers next season
Wes dont hate, appreciate😂😂😂 LET'S GO HORNETS SWARM CHARLOTTE BABY!!
Damn the joke really is true, Booker sees a European player, and you already know the result…
Has Matt ever watched Deni play before last night? That's how he plays every game, maybe not so efficient, but that's his game. What the hell is he even talking about?
Why wasn’t this episode called “Dirty Ball?”
Tanking definitely happens in other pro leagues. I'm an Indianapolis Colts fan and I remember well the "suck for Luck" days.
