Podcast Recap
Ryan McKee and NBA handicapper Zach Broner discuss the huge news that the NBA will return with 22 teams at the end of July! Each team plays eight more regular season games for Playoffs seeding before the post-season officially begins. Plus, the ninth seed will have an opportunity for a play-in challenge against the eighth seed. Ryan and Zach examine the updated Championship odds and talk about which teams they favor in this new format. Is it still really a three team race with the Lakers, Clippers and Bucks? Or do teams like the Rockets, Raptors, 76ers, and even the Mavericks or Thunder have a chance? Certainly, Zion Williamson and the Pelicans have a better shot at knocking off Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies than they did previously. What does that mean for the NBA Playoffs? Finally, why do Zach and Ryan agree that the Clippers with Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Montrezl Harrell, Lou Williams, and Patrick Beverly are still best suited to win it all?
