Best 1st Round Ever?, Denver’s Disappointment, New York’s Beatdown, & The Watching Hour

In episode 40 of the SimmBros Pod, Cam and Chris kick things off with a deep dive into the NBA Playoffs and why the postseason product is so much better than the regular season. They make the case for a shorter NBA schedule, floating the idea of front-loading games early in the season and spacing them out after the All-Star break to reduce injuries and improve quality of play. From there they break down every first round series, highlighting OKC and San Antonio as the clear top tier in the West, the Knicks' historic 47-point halftime blowout of the Hawks, and why Denver's loss to Minnesota without Anthony Edwards is an indictment of the entire Nuggets roster and coaching staff. They debate the Michael Porter Jr. for Cam Johnson trade, why the Nuggets might need to blow it up, and give their predictions for tonight's Game 6s and the Celtics-Sixers Game 7. The Watching Hour closes with a review of Marty Supreme, where they argue Timothee Chalamet deserved the Oscar over Michael B. Jordan.
