The Ringer's Bill Simmons is joined by Ryen Russillo to discuss the Eastern Conference opening after some injuries, the Knicks taking a 3-1 lead over the Cavaliers (1:19), Hawks-Celtics, the strange Bucks-Heat series, and not feeling great about the 76ers even after sweeping the Nets (20:38). Then they discuss the Warriors' exciting Game 4 win over the Kings, Lakers-Grizzlies, and Dillon Brooks antics (48:05), before talking Clippers-Suns, Kawhi's injury, wondering about the Suns full potential, and more (1:11:51).
Host: Bill Simmons
