Episode Danny Parkins on Lakers losing to Rockets, Harden Playoff Struggles & Celtics' Red Flags | 04.30
Bomani Jones and Danny Parkins break down a chaotic first round, starting with the Lakers struggling to close out Houston and the moment everyone’s talking about: Reed Sheppard picking LeBron James clean in crunch time. Is this series slipping away… and are we watching a real regression from L.A.?
Plus, Parkins makes the case for something wild: trusting James Harden and the Cavaliers in the East. Is Harden actually underrated in the playoffs—or are we setting ourselves up for the same ending?
They also dive into:
Why the Eastern Conference feels wide open (and kinda shaky)
Whether the Knicks, Celtics, or Cavs can actually be trusted
The Thunder’s looming dynasty potential 👀
Why modern NBA playoffs feel more unpredictable than ever
And to close it out, Parkins shares details on his “Cubs for a Cure” fundraiser supporting brain cancer research. You can donate HERE https://www.mlb.com/cubs/tickets/specials/cubsforacure
