Verno and KOC discuss the Mavs’ Game 2 win over the Thunder; the Cavs, who tied their series with the Celtics; and their excitement for the Knicks-Pacers and Nuggets-Timberwolves Game 3s

Verno and KOC discuss PJ Washington’s performance in the Mavs’ Game 2 win over the Thunder to tie the series (01:13). They also discuss Kyrie Irving’s impact, the Mavs defense, and Josh Giddey becoming close to unplayable. They then move on to the Cavs, who tied their series with the Celtics after getting the best version of Evan Mobley, and also discuss why the Jayson Tatum–Jaylen Brown–era Celtics have been extremely inconsistent in the playoffs (20:34). Next, the guys discuss their excitement for the Knicks-Pacers and Nuggets-Timberwolves Game 3s (41:37). Can the Knicks continue to play at this fast pace? How will Nikola Jokic respond after winning his third MVP?
