On the Wednesday version of The Best Of The Doug Gottlieb Show: Doug has a different take on why the Sixers are down in their series with the Heat, and why Joel Embiid struggled in game five.  He says you can talk all you want about Embiid being distracted by losing the MVP, or about the injuries he is playing with, but fact is that it is a big challenge to win now with a dominant big man as your best player. 

Nets' GM Sean Marks made thinly-veiled comments about Kyrie Irving and what the team is thinking about with regards to bringing him back long-term as a member of the team. Doug thinks the Nets sound like they are done with Kyrie.  

BJ Armstrong is a three-time NBA champion and currently a player agent.  BJ joins Doug to talk about the NBA MVP drama with Joel Embiid, the fan/family situation in Dallas, and the other major headlines in the NBA playoffs this week.
