Rich tips off the hour reacting to Damian Lillard’s incredible night where he hit on a playoff-record 12 three-points in the Trail Blazers’ double-overtime loss to the Denver Nuggets. Celtics fan Chris Brockman is NOT happy with Boston’s big shakeup today that saw the retirement of team President Danny Ainge with Brad Stevens leaving his head coaching duties to move into Ainge’s old job in the front office. ESPN’s The Jump host Rachel Nichols and Rich discuss Boston’s surprising front office upheaval and if anyone saw Danny Ainge’s retirement coming, how injuries to Anthony Davis, Chris Paul and Joel Embiid will impact the Lakers’, Suns’, and 76ers’ playoff hopes, if Dame Lillard is the most well-liked player in the NBA today, and going head-to-head for a Sports Emmy Award this year. Rich and Brockman wrap up the hour discussing how different the Celtics roster could look under Brad Stevens now that he’s in charge of Boston’s personnel decisions.
