The Zach Lowe Show · Playoff Drama! NBA First-Round Action Heats Up With Rob Mahoney. · 28 Apr 2025 podcast

Well, the possession they had when they went up, I think they were up two after LeBron had his second highlight defensive play the last two minutes. And they, up to with like a minute 10 left, big possession. They just did nothing. They just ran. They just all kind of stood there. Luka, I think, ran some rote half speed pick and roll. LeBron ended up taking like a logo three.

That's an exhausted team kind of frittering away a massive possession. on the hope that a 30-foot three will just go in and win them the game. The other stat I want to mention, Minnesota plus eight in free throw attempts. I don't think a lot of people expected that. Game five could look a little different in Los Angeles, but if those stats are like that, this series is bye-bye.

It's going to show that you did sponge it. Here's the real dirty truth. Every time I have not washed the dish appropriately. I am a serial ignorer of the outside of dishes.

I'm in a rush. I want to get things done, and I'm sloppy. But maybe a challenge flag. The uptick to two challenges has sort of changed the math. When there was one challenge, you just save it for the end of games. Miami never uses challenges, ever, which is kind of weird. But now that there are two...

You will get smart people who are in charge of figuring this out for teams who will say, on the first one, if you're 100% sure you're going to win it, you can use it on something that feels innocuous, like a change of possession or something, because that could be a three, it could be whatever. Decision tree number one is like, are you going to win it for the first one?

an out of bounds call where it like clearly hits somebody's hand and, and it's been called the wrong way. I would hope. Yeah. I just, I just don't describe that level of certainty and I'm certainly not going to bank a playoff game. Oh, you know what? I'm a hundred percent certain on, I need, I need the, I need Mets fans feedback on this.

I vowed when I got laid off and I embraced the Mets again, after a long time off during their playoff run, I vowed to be a regular fan. Like it's not a regular, I vowed to keep in touch. I can't do it. Like, I vowed to check a box score, and I do it every day. Maybe they'll be on in the background somewhere on a TV where I can glance at it. Okay, so-and-so's up. I'm doing it.

I'm living up to my vow. Now I'm buying a jersey. And this is what I'm 100% sure of. I'm buying a jersey. And as a lapsed, diehard Mets fan, I own two jerseys, Todd Hundley and Mike Piazza. That's how lapsed I am. I need the Mets community to tell me what is the most ethical –

and most metsy jersey to get anyway um you mentioned lucas smoking the layup a fun theme of this weekend's crazy games are the forgotten plays that end up being huge so there's that there's schruder yeah not accelerating for a layup at the end of the third quarter and instead passing to tim hardaway jr i think for a dunk that didn't count in a game the pistons lost by one um Was it one?

Did they lose by one? I think they lost by two. Two? Whatever they did. It was close. My brain is mush. And then... Oh, no, it was one. You're right. 94-93. And then there is the end of the first quarter of Nuggets Clippers, which turns into the game of the year, maybe, at least given the stakes.

Where with 1.9 seconds left, I think, James Harden throws a football pass on a sideline out of bounds that goes the entire length of the court and goes out of bounds on the opposite baseline. Nobody touches it. And the Nuggets get the ball back in their offensive end. And Jokic hits a three at the buzzer. And you forget about stuff like that in the craziness of the game.

And holy crap, was this game crazy? Yeah. It's just these things come back to bite you sometimes. Let's talk about that game because we have a bonus. That series, rather, it's 2-2. It's the only 2-2 series, and we have an extra day off. The series does not resume until tomorrow. I asked, I gave you one homework assignment, which was rewatch the Aaron Gordon miracle.

And I've watched it 20 times and tell me something you didn't notice the first times that you watched it. Did you find anything?

So I'm not going to lie. I watched the entire Warriors-Rockets game after that game. And as I was watching that game, every 10 minutes I would be like, I'm going to have to rewatch this game because all I can think about is Aaron Gordon's dunk. I don't really understand what happened still. I don't understand the science behind how that was indisputably a good basket.

I believe that it was because they've gone within milliseconds to show the light going off. I just can't believe that it happened. I don't even understand how it happened. And I noticed the Kawhi double-team too because I'm watching and... You see Aaron Gordon come for the offensive rebound and you see the defense kind of shading toward Jokic.

And I asked myself, why are they overloading the floor at all? Why is all the attention just not on like, stay on our guy? There's nothing you, James Harden, can do by taking an extra half step toward Nikola Jokic on this shot. It's going to go in or it's not going to go in. And then you watch it again. It's like, actually, they're tilting a lot.

They're tilting a little bit because Kawhi is double teaming. And that leaves three on two on the backside. And Harden doesn't know who to box out. And here comes Aaron Gordon. And absolutely incredible. I'll tell you what I noticed. Jokic has zero reaction, like which we've seen before. He just puts his head down.

Like it's almost if you just zoomed on in his reaction, you would think they lost the game. He just puts his head down and just starts walking. And Jeff, I have an eye on Jeff Van Gundy all the time because I miss Jeff. I love Jeff. I'm so happy that he's back in the muck of this. And I'm sure he's enjoying himself.

Like really in it. And so I watched him, and he just sort of, he's sitting down. He's not standing up. He's like the only guy not standing up. He's sitting down, and then he just sort of keeps sitting down. Just an absolutely incredible moment from an incredible finish, which includes an absolutely ridiculous shot that Jokic hits to put them up to, followed by a Zubat's putback to tie the game.

This series is now 2-2. It was the series I was most excited about. I picked Nuggets in 7th. I feel like it could have been a sweep by now. Like the Clippers have been the better team. They're plus 33 for the series. Where are you as we go into game five in Denver? I don't know if you made a pick. I don't remember. What's your feel of this?
