Ken and Lima kick off with a genuinely fascinating hypothetical: what does Ryan Day do when his son, who just committed to Northwestern, potentially lines up against Ohio State as a starting quarterback, forcing Ryan Day to gameplan against his own kid? The real meat of the segment though is Ken's argument that this Cavs-Pistons series has not risen to the level of a true rivalry, and that the bigger story is how Cavs fans are more worried about Cleveland beating themselves than they are about anything Detroit can do. Ken makes a compelling case that tonight is as close to a legacy-defining moment as Donovan Mitchell has ever faced, pointing out that with Embiid done, Harden diminished, and OKC full of untouchable young stars, Mitchell is the one national media will zero in on if the Cavs flame out. The bottom line is simple: if the Cavs win tonight, Ken believes the series is over, and if they lose, the questions about blowing this whole thing up will only get louder.

The guys start the show off reacting to the Lakers' elimination loss. Morales leaned into the chaos and storylines ahead. Sedano and Kap gave the Lakers credit for fighting to the end against a clearly better OKC team and Bergman is sad. Sure, the Lakers got swept - but they were sooo close! Did you think they had it? Is there a world in which they could/should have won? JJ Redick was very reflective in his postgame press conference, and both Sedano and Kap have thoughts on what he said. Sedano made the case that JJ Redick is the best Lakers coach of the last three because he actually coaches instead of managing egos. Dodgers talk! Berg's 3 things: Roki Sasaki's encouraging start, Mookie Betts back in the No. 2 spot, Shohei is a MESS at the plate! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

How many moves would the Lakers have to make to close the gap with OKC? Berg says that based on the reports that Luka wants Austin Reaves back, looking at the rest of the team, they're basically running it back. The crew gets into the nitty gritty of the Lakers roster and goes through each player not under contract next year and whether they should bring them back. They get back to what Dave McMenamin said yesterday about how it doesn't necessarily have to be LeBron vs Austin coming back. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

0:00 ... Show open ... Ross introduces Bruce and dedicates show #247 to "friend of the show" Scott Williams, who wore #47 for two different NBA teams during his long career. 1:10 ... The Knicks swept the 76ers in their second round series.  They polished off the Sixers so quickly that they may have TOO MUCH time off before their next series which could dampen their momentum.  The extended time off will help OG Anunoby who is recovering from an injury. 3:07 ... Knicks coach Mike Brown will need to conduct practices in such a way that he provides activities that help keep the team's momentum alive. 4:40 ... Brown did a great job all season using more players than former coach Tom Thibodeau which has kept his guys fresh and provided quality depth for the postseason. 8:11 ... Karl Anthony Towns has been a great performer for NY during the playoffs with his rebounding, decision making, and passing. 10:36 ... Complementary guys like Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart have been instrumental in the team's playoff run.  hart is Mike brown's "Swiss Army Knife." 12:20 ... The Pistons and Cavs are tied at 2-2 in the other eastern conference second round series.  Donovan Mitchell has gone "nuclear" in games 3 and 4 and he's gotten some good help from James Harden. 14:30 ... Jalen Duren has been relatively ineffective in the series against the Cavs and he needs to be more aggressive against the Cavs' bigs.  Detroit also needs a big performance from Cade Cunningham in game 5 or the Cavs might be ready to finish off the Pistons in Cleveland. 18:42 ... Donovan Mitchell's 43 point explosion in game 4 places him #2 on the Cavs all time list of 40+ point playoff scorers, trailing only LeBron James. 19:19 ... The Oklahoma City Thunder finished off the Lakers in four games ... OKC won all 8 games they played against the lakers this season: 4-0 in the regular season and 4-0 in the playoffs. 20:38 .... Has LeBron James played the final game of his career?  Probably not because he will want a farewell tour so fans and franchises can honor him one last time.  So when he decides to retire, he'll make it known before the final season so all of that can take place. 22:42 ... Has LeBron played his final game AS A LAKER?  Once again, the answer is probably "No."  We feel he will retire as a Laker and eventually get a statue in LA. 26:17 ... OKC is humming on all cylinders right now.  They are winning every game by large margins and their depth is beyond impressive. 28:02 ... Is the OKC layoff a danger to their momentum as we feel it is with the Knicks? 29:11 .... The Spurs/Timberwolves series got pretty chippy over the weekend and the guys discuss whether Victor Wembanyama should have been suspended for game 5 after his "flagrant 2" elbow against Naz Reid in game 4. 32:04 ... Julius Randle has not had a good series against the Spurs.  Wemby's presence in the paint makes Randle's life difficult. 33:49 ... The Spurs are just scratching the surface of the team they will become. 36:17 ... Dylan Harper is a rookie who doesn't play like a rookie.  He has a bit of Josh Hart in his makeup. 39:11 ... The NBA lost two members of the hoop family on Monday when Jason Collins died at the age of 47 and Brandon Clarke at age 29.    Both Ross and Bruce have had long associations with the NBA  and both feel that the NBA culture fosters a feeling of family even if we aren't personal friends with everyone.

With the season now on the line, the Lakers faced elimination at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night. And the Lakers, on two occasions, fell behind by double digits and could've just given up, but LA willed themselves back each time and took the lead into the fourth quarter. But in crunch time, when the Lakers were the NBA's best this season, it was OKC that executed better and got the luck needed to get by on Monday night with a 115-110 victory to sweep LA four games to zero. Check in with the guys as they break down the game, what went wrong in that second quarter, the admirable comebacks by the team and how it fell short, the performances from Rui Hachimura (25 points), LeBron James (24 points), and Austin Reaves (27 points), and what's up ahead for the future of the Lakers.

The Los Angeles Lakers take a tough 131-108 loss, and Bubba Dub is breaking it all down with his unfiltered reaction. From the slow start to another rough third quarter, this game raised serious questions about effort, execution, and leadership. Bubba Dub dives into what went wrong and why the Lakers now find themselves in a dangerous position in the series. LeBron James finished with 19 points but struggled to make a major impact when the team needed it most. Deandre Ayton added 10 points and 6 rebounds, but the production from key players just wasn't enough to compete with a strong OKC performance. Meanwhile, Oklahoma City came out aggressive, with players like Luke Kennard stepping up and helping push the game out of reach. In this episode, Bubba Dub also touches on:The Lakers' third-quarter strugglesCoaching decisions and rotationsWhether this series is already out of reachThe current NBA playoff landscape, including the Knicks, Spurs, Detroit, and ClevelandIt's a mix of real basketball talk, strong opinions, and classic Bubba Dub commentary you don't want to miss.
