Zach is joined by Rob Mahoney to discuss what Austin Reaves’s return would mean for the Lakers. Then, they ponder what’s next for the Rockets, if the Nuggets' championship window is coming to an end, and how the Pistons can come back against the Magic. Finally, they break down who has the edge in TOR-CLE and close the show by sharing two winners and two losers of the postseason so far.
