Then, we get into what it means for Joker's legacy winning a 3rd MVP in 4 years and Ashley suggests a new MVP calendar. Following that, we play a game deciding who would fair better, NBA players in the NFL or NFL players in the NBA & look ahead to tonight's Game 2s in Boston and OKC.

Ash, John, & our Coach, Avery Johnson return to CBSSN! We start with a look at OKC's dominating win over the Mavs in Game 1. Luka couldn't get going and SGA & JW controlled the game. Can Luka and Kyrie get any help? Maybe the Thunder aren't too young. Next, its on to the Celtic's Game 1 blow out of the Cavs. Jayson Tatum didn't shoot well, but the Celtics have too much firepower & no one is there backing up Spida Mitchell. Then, its a discussion of Jamal Murray's slap on the wrist fine for his "antics" in Game 2 & a question of why the *presumptive* MVP can't do anything about it. We suggest that maybe the MVP award should be given out earlier. Rudy Gobert wins DPOY, but it seems like the award is Wemby's to lose from now on. We finish the show with a guess as to the reception Reggie Miller will receive back at MSG tonight for Knicks/Pacers Game 2.
