Are Tanking and Resting Ruining the Game? Plus: Finals Odds, Whether the Clippers Can Pull Off a Playoff Upset, and Zion the Superstar.

Verno and Jacoby go through last night’s games, especially looking at teams that are either resting or full-on tanking (1:06). The guys debate how long the league will allow this to continue and what needs to change to prevent teams from tanking and resting starters who are healthy. They also discuss Tony Allen's jersey retirement ceremony over the weekend, the nonexistent Heat Culture, and the standings in both conferences (25:45). Next, the guys debut a new segment on the show called How Does That Sound?, where they each fire off a take and debate it. They discuss the Rockets' chances of reaching the 2-seed and whether Cooper Flagg will stay in college, and Jacoby details his idea for a new way to present the Larry O'Brien Trophy (45:40).
