Hoops & Scoops - Round 2 of the Playoffs Begins

On this new episode of Hoops & Scoops, the group moves into the second round of the playoffs. We say an ode to Aaron’s Knicks and Liza’s Celtics. The Nuggets took out the Blazers in 6, so what does the Blazers and Lillard’s future look like? With Terry Stotts gone, will the team blow it up, does Lillard finally leave? Then we look at the second round, starting with Denver-Phoenix. Phoenix won the first matchup, so does Denver have enough to take the series? The Clippers took out the Mavericks in game 7, so what can the Mavericks do to help Luka progress? Does that include getting rid of Porzingis and who might take him? The Clippers are now taking on the Jazz, will they carry their momentum and take out the top seed or are Mitchell and Gobert too much to handle? In the east, Brooklyn took the first 2 games even without Harden, can anyone take them out? Will the Bucks start hitting their open shots when the series returns home? Then, Trae Young and the Hawks keep shocking everyone, going into Philly and taking game 1 even with Embiid playing. Can the Hawks actually take out the Sixers? Also, how overrated is Ben Simmons? All this and more on this weeks episode of Hoops & Scoops. Recording June 8, 2021
