5th and Dribble

The lads break down Matt's heartbreak over the Clippers being bounced in the play-in tournament, along with the first couple of days of the playoffs. They talk upsets, a little predictions and then discuss the award races and where the hardware is going to end up!

Show Notes

 On today's Tuesday instalment of 5th and Dribble, the lads break down the play-in tournament (3:46) between all 7th to 10th seeds in the Eastern and Western Conferences. 

After Matt pours his heart out, they move on (9:55) to talk about the first day of the Playoffs and discuss the upsets and match ups in the Utah Jazz versus the Dallas Mavericks and Minnesota Timberwolves versus the Memphis Grizzlies. After day one comes day two (22:11) and the fantastic buzzer beater Jayson Tatum had for the Boston Celtics, regardless of Kyrie Irving's 39 points for the Brooklyn Nets. We break down where the Phoenix Suns could probably rest some guys and praise Javale McGee for his impact on the floor. 

Last but not least, (37:48) the NBA Award Finalists have been announced and key names like Giannis, Embiid and Jokic are going for Most Valuable Player (MVP)! The lads break down their final predictions as to who will go home with the hardware (including a hot take about Tornoto's own Scottie Barnes!).
