This week in the NBA playoffs: Scripted bouncebacks, refs giving themselves nicknames, introductory statistics, impacting winning, extremely conscious bias, these aren’t your slightly older brother’s Dubs, happy three seeds, hunting BeLuka whales, James Harden is James Harden, MF DOOM tributes, the Delly towel-waving role, potatoes, armwrestling for Mark Jackson, Bobby Bonilla Day, a lot of beef, construction glue guys, what is it to you, Achilles vertebrae, what if nobody won the Harden-Simmons trade and CP3’s master plan.

BALLS and tripping balls are available on their own RSS feeds, as well as being found together on Omny Studio, Spotify and Apple Podcasts (feel free to subscribe, rate and review) - and we welcome your reckons via Twitter, Facebook and email.
