Bigger collapse: Celtics or Cavaliers, biggest playoff risers and droppers, 100 men vs. 1 gorilla
05/09/25 • 98 min
Will and Alex are joined by theScore’s Joseph Casciaro for a playoff six-pack, debating which team — the Cavs or Celtics — is in more trouble, whether Golden State has a path to an upset, and the top playoff risers and fallers so far. They also pick who they’d bring to a 100 men vs. 1 gorilla battle. Later, Will and Alex dive into James Harden vs. Russell Westbrook, the most intriguing off-season teams, and more absurd animal battle scenarios. Alex also commits to a marathon walk from downtown to Markham if the Raptors win the 1st overall pick in the NBA lottery.
