On this episode of The Colin Cowherd Podcast, Colin explains why a Nets/Lakers Finals matchup would be a bad big picture look for the NBA (1:00). He's joined by FS1's First Things First host Nick Wright to discuss the upcoming Playoffs, what could make the playoff chase more compelling than the play-in tournament (4:00), the potentially negative ripple effect of a Nets title after blowing off the regular season (9:00), which Eastern Conference team could give Brooklyn the most problems (11:00), why the Clippers' shameless late season tank job to avoid the Lakers could backfire (14:00), why the Jazz are a flawed playoff team (21:00), how Steph Curry's monster 2021 season has solidified his individual legacy (26:00), if Anthony Davis is ready to make another deep playoff run (30:00), if the Knicks and Pelicans can ever win a title with Julius Randle and Zion as their respective #1's (31:00). They also preview the probable first round series matchups (36:00), discuss if it's time for the Blazers to break up the Lillard/McCollum duo (43:00), if the Celtics need to rebuild again (45:00) and if Gregg Popovich without Tim Duncan has been exposed like Bill Belichick without Tom Brady (48:00).
