Bo breaks down why Boston may no longer be the same team that won the title, what Jason Tatum's injury means for the Celtics going forward, and why the margins have gotten so tight for recent NBA champions.

Bomani and Vinny Goodwill unpack an NBA postseason that makes no sense in the best way. Bomani Jones is joined by ESPN's Vinnie Goodwill to talk through why this Knicks team has no excuse not to make the NBA Finals, the delicate balance between Jalen Brunson's usage and unlocking Karl-Anthony Towns, and whether Boston's ceiling is lower than people want to admit with this version of Jason Tatum coming off the Achilles injury. From there, they dive into Victor Wembanyama's terrifying playoff debut, why the Spurs already look ahead of schedule, and how Oklahoma City vs. San Antonio feels like a looming Western Conference war. They also hit LeBron, KD, and the aging superstar class who can still hit the “high notes” for one night even if they can't live there anymore. Later, Bomani and Vinnie break down Adam Silver's new anti‑tanking lottery rules, what it means for franchises like Detroit and Orlando, and why conditioning young stars to lose might be the most underrated failure of “The Process” era in Philly.

The NBA’s 82-game regular season just wasn’t enough. Thirty teams started the season way back in October.   There were 14 teams sent home on vacation in early April.   That left 16 still playing with a hope of claiming this year’s NBA title. About those 14 losers… “Inside the NBA” TV analysts Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, Shaquille O’Neal, and host Ernie Johnson, Jr. have uttered their famous “One, Two, Three…Cancun!” vacation salute to the departing teams. In case you might be wondering, the woeful Washington Wizards lost their final ten games of the season to post a 17-65 record.  They deserve the title of “Worst team in the NBA” for the 2025-2026 season. The Putrid Pacers of Indiana sputtered into second at 19-63 to finish two games behind Washington.  A bronze medal goes to the Brooklyn “Nots” for this year’s lousy 20-62 final record. A draft lottery will be held May 10 to determine the actual draft order for all 30 NBA teams.  The 14 non-playoff teams are the only ones with a chance to receive the #1 overall draft selection. A trio of top losers (Washington, Indiana, and Brooklyn) receive a 14% chance of emerging from a rather complicated set of ping-pong ball drawings with the #1 overall selection in the NBA Draft on June 23. The other teams in this year’s NBA draft lottery will be: Utah Jazz – 22-60 – 11.5% chance of obtaining the #1 pick Sacramento Kings – 22-60 – 11.5% chance Memphis Grizzlies – 25-57 – 9% New Orleans Pelicans – 26-56 – 6.8% (pick goes to Atlanta) Dallas Mavericks – 26-56 – 6.8% Chicago Bulls – 31-51 – 4.5% Milwaukee Bucks – 32-50 – 3% Golden State Warriors – 37-45 – 2% Los Angeles Clippers – 42-40 – 1.5% (pick goes to Oklahoma City) Miami Heat – 43-39 – 1% Charlotte Hornets – 44-38 – .5% The New Orleans Pelicans (who have perfected the art of losing) traded away their first round pick for 2026 one year ago in order to acquire the rights to 6’9” Maryland center Derik Queen in 2025.  Queen started about half of the Pelicans’ games this season and averaged a pedestrian 12 points and seven rebounds per game. Decisions like that are another reason why New Orleans has failed to reach the Conference finals in every year since the team’s inception in 2002. There are 16 teams participating this week in a best-of-seven first round series The NBA Western Conference produced the two teams with the best overall records in the entire league during the regular season. Defending champion Oklahoma City won 78% of its games to finish 64-18.  The Thunder are facing #8 West seed Phoenix in Round 1. The San Antonio Spurs finished second overall this year with a 62-20 record.  They are playing the 7th seed Portland Trailblazers in their opening round series. Other Western Conference match-ups include #3 seed Denver Nuggets (54-28) against #6 seed Minnesota and the #4 Los Angeles Lakers (53-29) taking on the fifth-seeded Houston Rockets. In the NBA’s Eastern Conference, the top regular season team was (are you ready?) the Detroit Pistons.  Motown’s favorite team posted a 60-22 record and is matched against East #8 seed Orlando in the opening round. The Boston Celtics played most of the season without star forward Jayson Tatum. He’s now back in the line-up for the playoffs.  The C’s finished second in the NBA East (56-26) and are playing #7 seed Philadelphia in Round 1. New York’s Knicks finished third (53-29) in the NBA East.  They are matched against #6 East seed Atlanta in the first round. The Cleveland Cavaliers came in fourth (52-30) and are playing #5 seed Toronto in another Round 1 match-up. Is LeBron James still playing basketball? Yes, indeed!  The 41-year old ageless freight train still plays for the Los Angeles Lakers.  He also still bowls-over defenders on his way to the basket – just like he always has. It’s hard to believe that LeBron James (even at age 41) has never averaged less than 20 points per game over any season of his 23 in the league. The rumor mill claims that LeBron isn’t sure whether this year’s NBA playoffs will be the last of his long career. You can be sure that NBC (which is now televising NBA playoff games this year) and ESPN/ABC will be rooting for LeBron’s Lakers to make a very deep run in this year’s playoffs. Teams which live by the 3-point shot… Did you know that the average NBA team attempted 40 three point field goals per game this season?  I found it a bit surprising that the majority of the top ten NBA teams taking the most 3-point shots did not qualify for the playoffs. The Boston Celtics (4th in the league in 3-point shots) attempted an incredible 50 3-point shots during a 111-97 home playoff loss to the Philadelphia 76ers Tuesday night.  Unfortunately for Celtics fans, the home team connected on just 13 of those attempts (26%). Boston took a total of 89 shots in the game.  When a team attempts more than 50% of its shots from long distance, a cold shooting night generally spells doom. Here’s your three-point shooting math lesson for today.  Anything above a 33.3% success rate from long-range creates more points for a team than those which convert 50% of traditional two-point baskets. However, attempting too many three point shots in a game may be an indicator that a team is lacking an effective inside presence (aka – a good center). For the record, the Eastern Conference #1 seed Detroit Pistons finished 29th out of 30 teams in 3-point attempts this season with “only” 30 per game.  Boston checked-in at #4 (42 per game).  Defending champion Oklahoma City was 13th with 36 long-distance tries per game. The NBA average for all shots attempted per game was 90.  That means that 44% (40 of 90) shots per game have been three pointers this season. Yes, NBA teams have become quite addicted to three point shooting. Look!  Up in the sky!  It’s a bird…it’s a plane…it’s Victor Wembanyama! He is 7’4” tall and hard to miss – even on NBA basketball courts. San Antonio’s Victor Wembanyama just received every first place vote for the league’s Defensive Player of the Year.  He averaged three blocked shots and 12 rebounds per game this season. He’s no slouch on offense, either.  The Spurs’ third-year big man averaged 25 points per game.  San Antonio is the #2 Western Conference seed and a legitimate threat to stop Oklahoma City from repeating as NBA champions. San Antonio’s cast of characters surrounding Victor Wembanyama have been improving, too.  Guards De’Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle score 35 points per game between them this year. The San Antonio Spurs have the ingredients to surprise many during these two months of NBA playoff action. Does any team in the NBA East have a legitimate chance to win the title? There’s no question that the Western Conference trio of OKC, San Antonio, and the Denver Nuggets are the odd-on favorites to win the NBA championship this year.  Are there any legitimate threats coming out of the NBA’s Eastern Conference? The #1 Eastern Conference seed Detroit Pistons won only 14 games two years ago.  This season, the Pistons won 60 to claim the top position in the East. The Pistons play exceptional team defense and possess a deep bench if the team needs a burst of scoring or a fresh defender on the court.  Whether Detroit has the ability to withstand playoff pressure and adversity will be determined over the weeks to come. Boston won the NBA title just two years ago.  This team still features its “Big Three” of high scoring guard Jaylen Brown, clutch shooting guard Derrick White, and All-Star forward Jason Tatum.  The remainder of the Celtics line-up can look like a group of interchangeable parts.  Boston’s playoff experience could lead them to the NBA Finals this year. Neither Detroit nor Boston is going to be favored in a match-up vs. the eventual NBA Western Conference winner.  The Pistons or Celtics (or whichever team emerges from the NBA East) must play their best basketball of the season in the NBA Finals’ best-of-seven series just to keep it interesting. And the winner is… I feel fairly certain that the NBA Western Conference winner will emerge as the eventual league champion this season.  Last year’s Oklahoma City Thunder played better than everyone for the entire season.  They were not a surprise champion. If OKC can withstand Denver and San Antonio to win the Western Conference, they will likely bring a second straight NBA championship trophy home to Oklahoma.

The Philadelphia 76ers are set to face the Boston Celtics in the first round of the playoffs, with game one promising to be a challenging encounter. Analyst Dei Lynam emphasizes the importance of rebounding to limit the Celtics' opportunities, as Boston is known for its prolific three-point shooting. Lynam also highlights the need for Tyrese Maxey and Vj Edgecombe to apply pressure on the Celtics' defense.Joining the discussion, NBC Sports Philadelphia analyst Jim Lynam suggests that the Sixers should focus on Jason Tatum, who is still regaining his form after returning from an Achilles injury.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Wednesday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Dave Essler came ready to work on the March 25th edition of Cash That Ticket, rolling through three sports with sharp opinions and sharper picks. The NBA led the charge, with Boston hosting Oklahoma City in what Munaf called a potential Finals preview between two of the three true title contenders in the league alongside San Antonio. The Celtics entered as 2.5-point home underdogs with a total of 218.5, and both hosts landed on Boston, with Dave targeting the Celtics team total over 108.5 at DraftKings as the cleanest angle in the game. The reasoning was airtight. In the previous meeting, Boston shot just 40 percent from the field, got out-rebounded, and still hung 102 points on Oklahoma City, all without Jason Tatum and Derrick White. With both players back in the lineup and Nikola Vucevic the only notable absence on the Boston side due to a right ring fracture, even a modest shooting improvement pushes the Celtics comfortably past that team total. Dave noted he had personally bet Boston the day prior at plus 3.5, a number that had since moved to 2.5, and while he acknowledged the rematch rarely produces the same result, he could not argue against the value Boston represented at home. Munaf was equally firm, backing the Celtics outright and noting their defense would keep Oklahoma City in check on the other end. The Friday Sweet 16 card came next, and the hosts worked through all four matchups in order. Duke opened as a 6.5-point favorite over St. John's with a total of 141.5, and Dave made the case for the Blue Devils while freely admitting a Red Storm victory would not shock him at all. His reasoning centered on Jon Shire's year-over-year improvement at Duke, a neutral-site resume that included wins over Kansas, Arkansas, and Florida, and the fact that St. John's only loss since January came to UConn, a team that plays a style nearly identical to Duke. Rick Pitino received full credit as perhaps the best in-game coach in the sport, but Dave believed Duke gets it done. Michigan State and UConn served up the most creative betting strategy of the episode, with the Huskies laying 1.5 points on a total of just 135.5. Dave went two-part, backing UConn in the first half and the first-half under, then floating the idea of grabbing Michigan State at an improved live number at halftime. Both teams ranked in the top 13 nationally in defensive efficiency, and Dave was emphatic that fading Tom Izzo in the final minutes of a close game is simply not something he is willing to do. Munaf liked Michigan State for the full game and agreed that patience at halftime represented the sharpest path to the number. Iowa State laid 4.5 against Tennessee with a total of 138.5, and both hosts landed on the Cyclones despite the number feeling short. The case against Tennessee was statistical and pointed. The Volunteers turned the ball over more than every SEC team except one, struggled to score consistently, and were poor from the free throw line. Iowa State led the entire Big Ten in turnovers forced, and the teams that beat Tennessee this season did exactly what the Cyclones do best. The Josh Jefferson injury loomed over the entire conversation, but even accounting for his potential absence, neither host could build a convincing case for Tennessee covering. Alabama and Michigan closed the college card with the biggest total on the board at 174.5 and Michigan laying 9.5. Dave went Alabama with the points, crediting the Crimson Tide for handling better tournament competition than Michigan despite missing their suspended star Holloway, while questioning whether the Wolverines had truly been tested after wins over Howard and St. Louis. The MLB segment landed just as the season officially opened, with both hosts aligned on the Boston Red Sox at plus 320 in the AL East, pointing to Garrett Crochet as a Cy Young candidate and the division's best overall rotation. The AL Central produced a split, with Munaf backing Detroit at plus 110 and Dave preferring Kansas City at plus 225 behind Bobby Witt if not the Tigers. Both agreed Seattle wins the AL West at even money, with Dave pitching a creative parlay structure combining the Mariners and Tigers with the Yankees, Red Sox, or Blue Jays for returns between 11-to-1 and 16.5-to-1. The best bets closed the show cleanly. Dave went Auburn minus 9.5 over Nevada in the NIT, citing 12 wins over top-20 opponents for Auburn against a Nevada team whose last true road win came January 17th at Air Force, the 345th-ranked program in college basketball. Munaf laid the big number with San Antonio minus 16.5 against Memphis, pointing to four recent Spurs wins by margins of 28, 1, 15, and 25 points, three of which featured 130 or more points scored, against a Grizzlies squad getting blown out by 39 and 23 in back-to-back outings. Dave endorsed the pick and suggested 16.5 might actually be light. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On this week's episode of Little Column A, Little Column B, hosts Will Alimonos and Zach Bishop break down a packed slate of Winter Olympic drama, March Madness momentum, and headline-grabbing NBA debates. The show opens with a rousing recap of U.S. men's and women's hockey victories over Canada — tense third periods, electric three-on-three overtime, clutch goaltending, and emotional medal ceremonies (including a powerful jersey tribute). Will and Zach debate the awkwardness of silver vs. bronze presentations, stuffed-animal podium mascots, and why hockey delivered their favorite Olympic moments. From there, the guys zoom out to discuss evolving winter sports formats, hybrid ski events, and why the Olympics somehow feel both overwhelming and too short at the same time. March Madness talk takes center stage next, with Duke reclaiming the No. 1 ranking after a major neutral-site win over Michigan. The hosts break down Cam Boozer's rising stock, Houston's title case, Arizona's résumé, Kentucky's frustrations, Illinois' late-game issues, and the broader seeding and bubble picture as the bracket tightens. On the NBA side, the conversation shifts to tanking reform and whether lottery tweaks or fines can truly stop strategic losing. They also react to Boston's dominant win over the Lakers, encouraging Jason Tatum practice buzz, and national sports media shifts — including ESPN's Women's Sports Sunday rollout. As always, expect sharp takes, humor, game analysis, and a preview of what to watch this week — plus a reminder to get ready for the show's March Madness pool. ⏱ Episode Timecodes 00:00:34 – Weekend Sports Triumph USA hockey wins, Olympic intensity, medal ceremony emotions 00:09:22 – Olympic Highlights and Emotions Silver vs. bronze debate, tributes, podium quirks 00:10:22 – The Evolution of Olympic Sports Hybrid ski events, niche sports learning curves 00:13:31 – March Madness Approaches Bracket outlook, storylines heating up 00:14:44 – Duke's Rise to Number One Neutral-site win over Michigan, Cam Boozer's stock 00:16:32 – Closing Out Close Games Kentucky, Illinois, and late-game frustrations 00:25:12 – Houston's Title Contention Résumé breakdown and Final Four potential 00:29:51 – College Basketball Upsets Wild finishes and shifting seeds 00:31:30 – The Peterson Controversy Ongoing questions and impact on rankings 00:52:36 – NBA Tanking Solutions Draft odds, lottery reform, structural fixes 01:02:31 – Celtics' Dominance Over Lakers Boston's road win, Tatum buzz, statement performance 01:17:30 – Women's Sports Sunday on ESPN Media strategy, scheduling frustrations, broadcast presentation

A title race without a true favorite changes everything. We dive into why Boston keeps stacking wins with Jalen Brown as a full-fledged primary scorer, how Derek White's defense and decision-making glue the roster together, and what Nikola Vucevic adds to the offense with stretch-five spacing and hard screens. Then we tackle the hardest question of the spring: when should Jason Tatum actually return? Five-on-five scrimmages hint at clearance, but playoff readiness demands rhythm, timing, and the right minutes plan. We weigh the risk, the reward, and what a measured ramp could mean for seeding and series matchups.The conversation widens to a league defined by parity. Cleveland's gamble on pure offense with Donovan Mitchell and James Harden could overwhelm half-court defenses—if Harden settles into a No. 3 role when it matters. Out West, the paths to June feel crowded: Jokic's inevitability in Denver, Minnesota's two-way ceiling with Ant at the controls, OKC's readiness to punch above their years, and a Spurs surge powered by a Wembanyama learning curve that feels more like a leap. This is a postseason where health, lineup versatility, and scheme discipline might trump star names alone.We also spotlight the quiet shift of eras. Shai, Luka, Wemby, Brunson, and Maxey aren't waiting for invitations; they're shouldering crunch time and reshaping how teams defend space. The best news? Less superteam gravity, more organic rivalries. For Boston, that means leaning into pace, five-out spacing, and a defense that can win ugly in May. If Tatum's ramp is smart and the rotation holds, the window isn't just open—it's inviting. Tap play, ride along as we set expectations for the stretch run, and tell us your Finals and MVP picks.

Jim and Mike Quigley break down Boston's surprise trade sending Simons to Chicago for Nikola Vučević — what it means for this season, the defense, the rotation, and the Celtics' long-term financial flexibility. They get into: • Why the move is more about the cap than the court • What the Celtics gain (and lose) with Vučević • How the center rotation might shake out • The growing need for another ball handler • What this signals about Jason Tatum's potential return • And why this trade doesn't dramatically change Boston's ceiling — for better or worse Plus: rapid reactions to league-wide trade deadline moves, including a fiery debate on James Harden landing in Cleveland.

This roster is deep, young, and actually good.

Plus: the looming trade deadline, potential targets, Eastern Conference chaos, and the biggest question of the season — should Jason Tatum return this year after an Achilles injury, and what would that mean for a team that's already rolling?
