Regular Season Rondo versus Playoff Rondo

Published: May 17, 2021, 11 p.m.

Today we have our first, but most definitely not the last, BASKETBALL edition of From the Red Zone.  We begin by ripping the Grizz and Spurs (and it continues through the episode), how no one wants to play the Wizards in a one game scenario, and the excitement in our household surrounding the Lakers v. Warriors game. We move on to an underrated matchup (Knicks vs Hawks), and a rematch of last year (Bucks vs Heat). Next, two MVP hopefuls face off, (Blazers vs Nuggets) and yet another rematch from last years bubble (Mavs vs Clippers). Then comes ideal matchups for the top seeded teams, east and west, a brief acknowledgement of Lamelo Ball's superiority over all other rookies, and a discussion about the most deserving candidates for DPOTY. Then a lengthy conversation about the MVP (Dave's mind firmly belongs in Golden State with Steph and the Warriors) and our choices for first team All - NBA (sorry King James). To close up the episode we talk about the ceiling of each playoff and play - in bound team.
