Kevin Garnett & Alex Thomas on the Lost Art of NBA Trash Talk, Wemby’s First Playoffs

Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce break down the top playoff moment so far. The guys dig into Steve Kerr’s rumored exit and what the end of the Warriors dynasty means for the NBA’s changing of the guard — with KG speaking from his own “end of the run” experience. SGA wins another Clutch Player of the Year award and sets his sights on something no one since Michael Jordan has done: back-to-back MVP + Finals MVP. Also, Wemby drops the first unanimous Defensive Player of the Year vote in NBA history.

On the court: Sixers steal Game 2 from Boston behind Maxey attacking the head of the snake and rookie VJ Edgecombe dropping 32. The Spurs-Blazers series gets spicy with Wemby in concussion protocol and Danny Avdija going off. Nuggets-Wolves is the grittiest series in the first round. Lakers-Rockets: LeBron’s still LeBron, KD needs a point guard, and is Luke Kennard playing Reaves out of a roster spot?
