The L.A. teams are on the brink, and the East semis are set - a podcast by theScore.com

On a jam-packed episode, we take stock of a whiplash-inducing Clippers-Mavericks series in which Luka Doncic is evoking LeBron in '07 (:025), before assessing the state of LeBron in '21 and the odds that he and the Lakers can stave off elimination against the phenomenal Suns (17:30).

Then we talk about why Nuggets/Blazers is the best show in basketball (32:18), reflect on the Danny Ainge era in Boston after the Celtics' unorthodox front-office shakeup(53:31), and marvel at Trae Young's stage presence and Clint Capela's defense (1:02:55), before looking ahead to the East's second-round series: Sixers-Hawks(1:12:20) and Nets-Bucks (1:20:25).
