    Danny Parkins on Lakers losing to Rockets, Harden Playoff Struggles & Celtics' Red Flags | 04.30

    2026/04/30 | 1h
    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

    Vinnie Goodwill on Embiid's & 76ers last stand, Knicks' title chances, NBA lottery reform | 04.29

    2026/04/29 | 1h 4 mins.
    Bomani and Vinny Goodwill unpack an NBA postseason that makes no sense in the best way.

    Bomani Jones is joined by ESPN’s Vinnie Goodwill to talk through why this Knicks team has no excuse not to make the NBA Finals, the delicate balance between Jalen Brunson’s usage and unlocking Karl-Anthony Towns, and whether Boston’s ceiling is lower than people want to admit with this version of Jason Tatum coming off the Achilles injury.

    From there, they dive into Victor Wembanyama’s terrifying playoff debut, why the Spurs already look ahead of schedule, and how Oklahoma City vs. San Antonio feels like a looming Western Conference war. They also hit LeBron, KD, and the aging superstar class who can still hit the “high notes” for one night even if they can’t live there anymore.

    Later, Bomani and Vinnie break down Adam Silver’s new anti‑tanking lottery rules, what it means for franchises like Detroit and Orlando, and why conditioning young stars to lose might be the most underrated failure of “The Process” era in Philly. Plus, what the league should actually be embarrassed by, and why Steve Ballmer’s Kawhi situation is way more complicated than internet outrage allows.

    Logan Murdock on How Steph Curry, Draymond Green and the Warriors Changed Basketball Forever | 04.28

    2026/04/28 | 58 mins.
    Bomani Jones is joined by Logan Murdock for Time Machine Tuesday to look back at the Warriors team that changed basketball forever. They break down Steph Curry's rise, the 73-win season, Game 6 Klay, Draymond's chaos, and how Golden State became the biggest story in sports.

    They also get into why this run hit differently: the shift in how the game was played, the tension between Steph and LeBron, and why the 2016 Warriors felt bigger than just another great team.

    Durant & Jokic Fall short, Spurs, Celtics, Thunder dominate, Rams draft Ty Simpson | 04.27

    2026/04/27 | 1h 8 mins.
    Bomani Jones breaks down a wild stretch of playoff basketball, starting with why Kevin Durant keeps catching blame in Houston and what the Rockets’ mess says about the team around him. He also gets into Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets getting pushed around by Minnesota, and the kind of James Harden playoff history that somehow never stops following him.

    Later, he discusses the impending showdown between the Spurs and the Thunder and why it's both the best and worst thing for the NBA.

    After that, Bomani hits on the Rams’ surprising Ty Simpson pick and what it says about Sean McVay, the Klay Thompson/Megan Thee Stallion breakup discourse, the strange fallout from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting, and a voicemail segment that turns into a great conversation about Nate Dogg, branding, and why being interesting still matters.
