Thunder are Cruising and James Harden is COOKED

from Heat Check with Trysta Krick · host The 8 Side

The Thunder are cruising through the playoffs, but somehow they’ve become one of the NBA’s most polarizing teams. Trysta breaks down why OKC’s dominance has fans waiting for the Western Conference Finals.  She also dives into Detroit’s unbelievable run and whether the Pistons are actually starting to look like a true 1-seed contender, or if the Magic and Cavaliers are just bad teams. Also, is James Harden officially cooked? Plus: LeBron’s whistle, Jared McCain takes a shot at the Sixers, Knicks chances to close Philly out, why Trysta has never bought into Evan Mobley, and the banged-up Wolves battling the Spurs in what should be a fantastic series. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
