On t he NBA Playoff podcast with David:

#1 Dave to start off taking a look at the Los Angeles Lakers and the Denver Nuggets who open their best of seven series tonight in Denver. We’ll take your analysis on the Lakers first who come in with LeBron James, Austin Reaves, and D’Angelo Russell.

#2 The Denver Nuggets are loaded their coming off a 4-2 series win against the Phoenix Suns and have some of the top shooters in the NBA with Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pape.

#3 David, talk has it that one of the factors for the Golden State Warriors failing to advance past the second round against the Los Angeles Lakers was because of Draymond Green’s punch on teammate Jordan Poole back in October. The Warriors couldn’t win on the road winning only 11 games away from Chase Center and Poole couldn’t find himself in the second round of the playoffs. How thrown off were the Warriors in the post season?

#4 David, long time Warriors general manager Bob Myers may not be back with the team next season and is still trying to decide whether to come back or not. Myers has been with Golden State for 11 years. The idea of not having Myers around will have an impact on the team.
