In this episode, we break down a wild Game 7 weekend and look ahead to the next round of the NBA playoffs. We begin with the Eastern Conference, where the Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic both blew 3–1 leads, and the Toronto Raptors were eliminated. We discuss what went wrong for each team and what their offseason priorities should be. We then shift to the Western Conference, where the Lakers defeated the Rockets and the Timberwolves upset the Nuggets. We evaluate what those results mean going forward and whether the Lakers or Timberwolves can continue their runs. Finally, we give our picks for the conference semifinals across both conferences.
