#55: The End of an Era plus halfway to Abu Dhabi

from Up Hill Down Under · host Matej Hopp & Simon Pichler

In this episode, we kick things off with a chat about the NBA headlines: Greg Popovich is officially done coaching — what a loss for the Spurs and the league. Was he the best ever? (00:01:26). Meanwhile, the Lakers are out in five, and the Luka-leadership-bashing is back in full swing (00:12:30). Oh, and yes — the O-O-Finals are more likely than ever (00:23:43).   Then we switch gears to the Euroleague Playoffs, where half the Final Four is set. Fenerbahçe and Olympiacos punched their tickets. Can Saras finally get his first Euroleague trophy as a head coach? Is Paris heading for a sell-off or are they here to stay? Olympiacos exorcised their Real Madrid demons — are they now the favorites to win it all? And where does Real go from here? (00:28:19)   We also preview the two remaining Game 5 matchups: Barca clawed back but Monaco still holds the edge at home, while Pana vs. Efes has turned into a defensive battle with drama, emotion, and star power (00:37:38). Tune in for hoops talk with edge, energy and just the right amount of chaos.
