241: NBA Playoff Push

On this edition of Road Trippin', the crew identifies key players who could push their teams through some favorable playoff matchups. Could LeBron do the impossible with this flawed Lakers team? Can Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shine in the play-in tournament, then upset a top seed out West? What does Andrew Wiggins' return mean for Golden State? How will Julius Randle's injury impact a much anticipated Knicks vs Cavaliers first round series? We also bring you a candid conversation around the MVP award. Media pundits are saying Joel Embiid locked up the honors with a 52pt performance vs Boston. But RJ & Channing think there have been obvious calculated moves by Doc Rivers recently...decisions that put Embiid in prime position to garner votes. Have a question or topic for our next show?
