Hoops Tonight X Nerd Sesh - Will Warriors or Lakers survive play-in? Celtics or Bucks? Nuggets inevitable?

Hoops Tonight with Jason Timpf - A podcast by iHeartPodcasts and The Volume

Jason Timpf is joined by the Nerd Sesh guys to discuss the NBA Playoffs Play-In picture as we head into the final month of the season. Who is more likely to survive a play-in game between LeBron James' Los Angeles Lakers and Steph Curry's Golden State Warriors? Later, the guys debate who is under more pressure to win the NBA Finals: Jayson Tatum's Boston Celtics or Giannis Antetokounmpo's Milwaukee Bucks? The guys continue by discussing whether Nikola Jokic's Denver Nuggets are an unstoppable force in their quest for back-to-back titles. What's a better title pick: Denver or The Field? The show ends with Jason sharing his most egregious basketball takes of the year with the Nerds, and some very fun reactions. #volume Timeline (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements): 04:00 - Who makes West play-in? 11:36 - Best chance to survive play-in: Lakers or Warriors? 20:30 - Who Lakers want to avoid 25:02 - Who Warriors want to avoid 30:40 - Ideal matchups in East first round 41:43 - More urgency to win title: Celtics or Bucks? 53:28 - Nuggets or field to win NBA Finals? 01:04:00 - Jason's worst basketball takes of the yearSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
