Hoop Talk Ep. 182: NBA Playoff FRAUD ALERT, Talking Conference Finals & Reactions to the 2021 NBA Draft Lottery (ft. Ian Evans & Brooks Warren)

The Hoop Talk Podcast with Jalon Dixon and Ryan Leshko

We're coming down to the wire and the NBA Playoffs are full of storylines as we progress through the NBA Conference Finals!

The Atlanta Hawks are the NBA's new darling as Trae Young led the charge to a big time upset over MVP Runner-Up Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers. Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks survive two virtuoso games by Kevin Durant to take down the Brooklyn Nets.

Then in the West, the Phoenix Suns cruised to past the Denver Nuggets and the LA Clippers overcame yet another 0-2 series start to take down the Utah Jazz.

The Conference Finals are underway, but we have a few things to discuss like: What is the future of Ben Simmons? Can the Utah Jazz somehow do any better than they did this season? Is this a bust season for the Brooklyn Nets?

We answer all these questions and more! BUT, we could not do this alone! So of course we had to bring friends of the show Ian Evans of The Impact Podcast and Brooks Warren of the Hear Me Out Podcast to talk a little Playoff hoops.

There is a ton of debates, a lot of bold claims and a lot of rambunctious behavior in this one 😂!

Then to close out the pod, we share out reactions, winners and losers following the 2021 NBA Draft Lottery.

Definitely another great episode as always with the fellas as we are slowly approaching the END GAME as these four teams are playing for the chance to reach the 2021 NBA Finals!
