Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre iHeartPodcasts

On today’s episode, Jason discuss the Los Angeles Lakers' heartbreaking Game 2 loss to the Denver Nuggets after going up by 20 points in the second half, how much blame LeBron James deserves for the Lakers' latest meltdown in Denver and why presumptive MVP Nikola Jokic might actually be underrated all-time. Later, J-Mac recaps a wild finish in New York that saw the Knicks literally steal Game 2 from the Philadelphia 76ers to take a 2-0 series lead, why it's clear that Joel Embiid might not be the emotional leader the Sixers need him to be and whether the negative narratives surrounding Tom Thibodeau are warranted. Finally, Jason closes the show with this Best Bets for Tuesday night's NBA Playoffs action.
