Jason reacts live after the Minnesota Timberwolves take a commanding 3-1 lead over the Golden State Warriors as Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle have big performances to outlast Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler in Steph Curry’s absence. Then he discusses the New York Knicks getting a 3-1 lead over the Boston Celtics in a game where Jalen Brunson was spectacular but Jayson Tatum left with a late injury.    Follow the show on Playback for future “Aftershow” content: https://www.playback.tv/hoopstonight  #Volume #HerdSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Colin’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to break down the Knicks beating the Celtics in Game 5 to go up 3-1 and the NBA draft lottery. They start with a thrilling game 5 between the Knicks and Celtics and highlight a dominant performance by Jalen Brunson compared to a Celtics team that was completely out of rhythm outside of Jayson Tatum (4:00).  Colin points to Brunson landing with the Knicks as the key to him breaking out as a superstar (7:00).  Jason argues Brunson may be the best small guard in the league, and Colin puts him in a class with the best Knicks ever (9:15). They discuss the Celtics poor ball movement and shot selection as what led to them losing, but give huge props to Jayson Tatum for his incredible performance prior to going down with an injury (16:00). They break down the ripple effects of Tatum’s injury on the Celtics future and whether they might be forced to blow up an aging roster if Tatum is out for a year (19:15). Colin argues that the Knicks may be primed to be the dominant team in the East with the Celtics facing an uncertain future but Jason argues the Cavs and Pacers would like a word (22:00).  They pivot to the NBA draft lottery and the Mavericks landing the #1 overall pick despite long odds and the ability to draft Duke star Cooper Flagg, why the basketball gods just gave the Mavs possibly the greatest gift EVER and why the draft order couldn’t have gone better for the NBA (35:00). They look at the Spurs, Thunder and Rockets as potential landing spots for Giannis and point to the results of the draft making the west even stronger compared to the east (41:00). Finally, they point to NIL giving top prospects the ability to take the better marketing of playing for blue chip college programs, and why recognizable domestic talents will help the NBA (45:00).  (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)
