The Cleveland Cavaliers Vs Boston Celtics matchup lived up to the hype! Both the Cavs and the Celtics showed that they are the real contenders out East. Travis Thomas kicks things off with a fiery rant about the Eastern Conference, claiming that it’s Boston and Cleveland at the top, with everyone else fighting for scraps. The host also dive into James Harden's legacy — will he be remembered for his greatness or his infamous collapses? Harden recently passed Ray Allen to become 2nd all-time in career three-pointers made, adding another major milestone to his storied career. Travis then reintroduces Ountae Campbell to the conversation, and the two discuss why the NBA's "Last 2 Minute Report" should not be shared with the public. Ountae claims the L2M is pointless. Then the two dive into the struggling 76ers, they explore the team’s dire situation (2-11 record) and the issues surrounding Joel Embiid’s lack of free-throws against the Heat, along with Tyrese Maxey challenging Embiid over his tardiness in a player meeting led by Kyle Lowry. Then, it’s time for "Win In 7" — a fun segment where Travis asks questions to guess a mystery NBA player that Ountae is thinking of. Later, the guys look at the Nets' decision not to extend Cam Thomas and discuss why it could be difficult to find a trade partner. What are the top two teams that should be calling Brooklyn? Finally, the guys wrap up the show with a quick preview of their NBA League Pass Game to Watch, with Ountae recommending Hawks vs. Warriors and Travis highlighting Knicks vs. Suns. Plus, don’t miss Travis’ thoughts on the potential changes to the NBA All-Star format.
