(0:00) Zolak & Bertrand kick off the third hour with Celtics Head Coach Joe Mazzulla joining the show to break down the Game 5 loss to the 76ers. (9:09) We question whether Joe Mazzulla is losing the locker room after Kevin O'Conner floated the idea on Twitter last night. (20:56) The crew wonders if the Celtics are starting to feel the pressure a bit.

Tons of NBA Playoff action to talk about on this week's show – including why Robert Horry thinks the Lakers won the trade deadline… because all the pieces seem to be working perfectly after the trade deadline moves. Plus we all look ahead to possible Western Conference Finals matchups, and we relish in a terrible Lakers take from ESPN's Mike Greenberg. And why is everyone so fired up about the idea of Russell Westbrook and Pat Bev getting a ring if the Lakers win the title? We also joke about another terrible Mike Greenberg Heat-Knicks take – that somehow playing in Miami is too tough because of the heat? Like Denver's thin air isn't an excuse for the Nuggets? Plus how Rob feels about Jokic pushing Suns owner Matt Ishbia, a super cool Big Shot of the Week for James Harden, Bronny's commitment to USC, the A's announcer using the N-word, and a HILARIOUS round of Black Crime or White Crime!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jake and Dan are back with another fun episode of No Cap Room, this time taking a deeper dive on all four playoff series before recapping Jake's night at the NBA Replay Center with the most interesting man in basketball.01:25 Celtics 121, 76ers 8704:30 Why did Joel Embiid play in game 2?13:10 Heat / Knicks (1-1) headed to Miami25:00 Lakers up 1-0 on Warriors32:00 Patrick Beverley & Russell Westbrook want their rings37:40 Nuggets up 2-0 on the Suns45:25 Jake at the NBA Replay CenterJoel Embiid declared himself back for the Philadelphia 76ers after winning the MVP Award, but that didn't help his team to avoid getting drubbed by the Celtics in Boston. Was it just rust or should the 76ers be worried? And will Joel hurt himself further trying to flop his way to the free throw line?Jimmy Butler flipped off the MSG crowd after game 2, so Jake and Dan believe he'll be back in game 3, but we're waiting to see how healthy he is and what kind of home court advantage the Heat have in Miami. Speaking of, are we sure MSG offers the Knicks a home court advantage?The Los Angeles Lakers have the best defense in the league and are looking a lot like the 2020 championship team when Anthony Davis plays like he did in game 1. Do the Warriors have any way to stop him if he stays healthy through this series? If the Lakers win it all, Russell Westbrook and Patrick Beverley have both said that they want their championship rings…after trashing the team on their way out the door. Shameful or smart?The Denver Nuggets deserve some apologies from doubters after looking like a much better team in their series against the Phoenix Suns, and things should be even easier after Chris Paul's groin injury. Was the trade for Kevin Durant a mistake for Phoenix?Finally, Jake spent a night at the NBA Replay Center for a story and ended up fascinated by the entire process and, more importantly, the most interesting man in basketball: Monty McCutchen.Check out the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Russell Westbrook joined the Los Angeles Clippers via the buyout market late in the 2022-23 season. The move was met with divided and strong opinions throughout the basketball world and Clippers fan base. What started out as a rocky beginning smoothed out before Paul George went down with a knee injury against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Ultimately, it would be the playoffs where Russ would be judged as far as wanting him back on the Clippers long term. Just how good was Russell Westbrook on the Clippers? Should he come back? Would the Clippers want him back? How realistic is it to get him back? In this episode, die hard Clipper fan and Host Darian Vaziri breaks down all three stages of Russell Westbrook's short career with the LA Clippers. The 5 game losing streak to start, the 4 game winning streak and end to the season, and then the playoffs. He also discusses wether or not he wants Russ back and how likely it is that he will be.

On today's episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) kick things off with a deep dive into the Los Angeles Lakers' Game 1 victory in Memphis over the Grizzlies. LeBron James was good and Anthony Davis was dominant, but this game was won by 'the others': Rui Hachimura and Austin Reaves. Given how deep this Lakers team is - and the uncertainty surrounding the hand injury to Ja Morant - it's hard to see a scenario where LA doesn't advance to round two. Speaking of Los Angeles, shout out to Russell Westbrook for doing all the little things to help the Clippers steal Game 1 against the Phoenix Suns. Russ didn't let a poor shooting night negatively impact the rest of his game as he made play after play in the final minutes. Let's just hope that viral video of him getting into a verbal altercation with a fan after the game doesn't wind up being the bigger story on Monday. Finally, the guys close the show by previewing tonight's Game 2 between the Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors. De'Aaron Fox may have put on a show for Sacramento in Game 1, but it's not like Steph Curry and the Dubs played poorly either - and that's exactly why the Warriors should be concerned heading into tonight's action.  Click here to subscribe, rate and review all of the latest Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre podcasts! #Volume #herdSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
