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

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
