The only certainties in this life are death, taxes, and NBA post-season blowouts. And the need to podcast about them! So here is a new Fastbreak Breakfast, with another heaping helping of Steak ‘n’ Eggs Best Things and Creams of Wheat Worsts to hopefully brighten your day, as we trudge along to the inevitable Cavaliers/Warriors Finals and what we hope isn’t a searing let down. Like a “James Harden elimination game” level let down.

TIME STAMPS

  • 9:00 Recapping Keith’s (@royira) extended excursion to Disney World, because there is only so much you can say about 30 point routs
  • 19:00 An apology to Nene, who’s absence was indeed deeply felt, despite our prediction to the contrary
  • 25:00 Breaking down frame by frame perhaps the most vicious butt-slap in NBA history
  • 28:50 Rumors of friend of the show Brent Barry being considered for the Hawks GM position
  • 31:00 How does Gregg Popovich’s background in Russian Studies and military intelligence form his certainly non-hypocritical take on Zaza Pachulia’s alleged dirty play?
  • 37:00 No for real, what happened to James Harden? Is more going on the meets the eye? Perhaps a Turkey Bacon Conspiracy?
  • 39:30 The Wizards had a Jekyll and Hyde playoffs, what do they do going forward? How have our opinions changed of John Wall, Bradley Beal and Scott Brooks from game to game?

And did you know? If Golden State and Cleveland both go fo’ fo’ fo’ there will be nine days without basketball before the Finals start. Plan accordingly.
