The Fastbreak Breakfast NBA regular season wrap-up and playoff preview
By Keith Parish
DISCLAIMER: When the news of Tony Allen being ruled out for the playoffs breaks three minutes into your podcast taping, you cannot be held liable for what may transpire after.
The Friday between the end of the NBA regular season and the start of the playoffs is one of the biggest NBA podcast listening days of the year, and in response Fastbreak Breakfast presents their bigliest episode of the year. What are we going to miss the most about the 2016-17 regular season (SPOILER: not the Magic or Knicks)? Who should receive the major awards? And which lower seeds are probably going to win their playoff series?
ALSO COVERED:
- Looking back at the feel-good story that is the 2016-17 Miami Heat, who coalesced into a very entertaining and very good basketball team for the second half of the season
- Directing our ire at the Brooklyn Nets, who acted like they were in a 6 and under youth league where everyone gets equal playing time and they don’t keep score
- We climb up on our Jeff Van Gundy high horse and lecture about the indefensible practice of teams electing not to play their best players. Can anything be done to fix tanking and the current abominable lottery system?
- Which coaches deserve a thumbs up and pat on the back for their performance this season?
- Is Tony Allen’s calf injury the nail in the coffin for the Grit Grind era in Memphis?
- Revisiting the preseason over/under bets and predicting the entire playoffs round by round
