The Herd with Colin Cowherd

Colin’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to talk all things NBA.
They begin by evaluating Luka Doncic’s first year as a Laker and debate whether his volatility and lack of effort on defense makes him a poor emotional leader for the team (2:00). Jason argues Luka really ISN’T the leader of the team, but his high ceiling, lower floor style of play makes for more unpredictable results on a night-to-night basis. Colin dives into the massive stylistic differences between regular season & playoff basketball and they agree that the Lakers are really only built for the regular season (11:30).
They pivot to the Celtic’s “shoot 3’s and play your ass off defensively” strategy and debate how viable they’ll be in the playoffs and what to expect from the return of Jayson Tatum (21:00).
They examine the Knicks and agree they are basically a worse version of last year’s team with a clearly defined ceiling and are likely to lose a playoff series to either the Pistons or Celtics (26:45).
They discuss Adam Silver’s willingness to abandon the dynastic nature of the NBA and whether that’s good for the league, and why it’s difficult for teams to maintain a sustained level of success (31:00).
Finally, they debate who are the “great, but not household name” players in the league (37:30) and preview an exceptional incoming draft class (43:30).
