On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones reacts to the end of the 1st round of the NBA playoffs. Bo starts off the show by saying he won't call anyone a "loser," but there is a strong correlation with James Harden and losing (2:43). Sticking with Harden, Bo says why big moments swallow him up (4:30) despite thinking he is a top 5 shooting guard of all-time (12:22). Bo transitions to previewing the 2nd round of the NBA playoffs where he says why he'd take Tyrese Haliburton over Donovan Mitchell (18:50) and why he believes the Oklahoma City Thunder will win the Western Conference (26:36). And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving the demise of outdoor dining in NYC, why you've already met your best friend and why chicken breasts are now losing out to dark meat (32:44). Then Bomani listens to some voicemails about unexpected significant others showing up to a family event (42:18).
