Hoops Tonight with Jason Timpf

Colin is joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight”.
They start with LeBron’s comments disparaging playing in Memphis, and they agree that LeBron is probably onto something if he struck a nerve to this degree and laud him for being authentic (3:00). Colin argues the Lakers game against OKC where Luka Doncic and Austin Reeves got hurt was about as disastrous of a regular season game there has ever been in the month of April, but the criticism of JJ Reddick is overblown (8:15). They believe the Lakers will be one and done in the postseason after losing two of their stars (16:30).
They move to the wild overtime game between the Nuggets & Spurs, and they debate whether the Spurs' youth and inexperience will be their Achilles heel in the postseason and Jason highlights the Spurs inability to stop Jokic could be a problem in round 2 (23:45).
They pivot to the Final Four and Michigan’s drubbing of Arizona, and Colin argues the Wolverines are one of the best teams in the past decade, but not historically great (29:15). They preview the NCAA Final between Michigan and UConn and predict a very physical game and that Dan Hurley will try to put Michigan’s bigs in the blender to get good looks (35:00).
Finally, they discuss the egregious level of tanking by the worst teams in the NBA and whether there’s anything the league can do to address it (45:00).
