## Resource

This episode was recorded before last night's games. Patreon episode reacting to those games and more coming later this week. We talked Sixers upsetting the Celtics in Boston (again), the first round having more surprises than ever, the Pistons and Nuggets chances of coming back down 3-1 in their series due to some injuries and every competitive first round series. Then we discussed the season's of the first two teams who were eliminated in the playoffs (Suns and Blazers) and talked about where they go from here. Plus new ideas from Adam Silver that everyone hates! Enjoy.
