608: Part 1 - NBA Playoffs Midway Thru Round 1 - The Roundup Podcast, w/ Your Host, Vincent, & the Guru, Gabe Goldfield

The Roundup Podcast

On today’s show, in part 1, we’re checking in on the NBA Playoffs midway thru Round 1 action, and so far, the “old” stars seem on their way out, even as the new generation appears ready to take over. Our guy Steph, now in his mid-30s, is out, sent home before it all even started, while 25 year old SGA is in, as in, likely in the Conference Finals this year with his Thunder, and the franchise looking to be in great shape for years to come. 28 year old Nicola Jokic is in, he’s the pinnacle of the game right now, while as great as he’s played, 39 year old LeBron is likely on his way out, both immediately and more long term. You get the picture; there’s a lot of new blood in title contention this year, with Ant, Brunson, Luka, and other leading the charge. Meanwhile, in part 2, the NFL Draft is in the books and while we got a few surprises on Day 1, there was plenty that went as predicted. A lot of offense was picked on Day 1, high value positions in a deep draft for OT, WR and QB, as we see the top 6 QBs go in the first 12 picks. My winner was Chicago though, and Bears fans have to be excited to see the Caleb-Rome connection in action this fall. So sit back, the NFL Draft is in the books, the NBA Playoffs are underway, and we’re breaking down how it’s all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast so let’s get rolling . . .
