Wagner) and Chelsea dishes on the meaning of a sophomore earning the nation's highest individual honor. Have we learned our lessons about hyping young players?<\/p>\n

The ITP Crew goes hard on the NBA Playoffs and its storylines with the younger, less experienced teams knocked out in the first round of the playoffs. The ITP crew talks about the more experienced teams peaking at the right time with perhaps less emphasis on regular season record i.e. Load Management. Is experienced over-stated or do untimely injuries have more to do with first round results?<\/p>\n
Can Miami duplicate their 2020 bubble playoff run? Just how great of a playoff performer is Jimmy Butler? Why is the Denver Nuggets not getting their just due as a true title contender? Why are fans so far at either end of the spectrum when it comes to the Golden State Warriors? Is it the brashness of Draymond Green or are fans just tired of the Warriors winning?<\/p>\n
The ITP crew also gives their predictions of the conference semifinal round. Is the Lakers vs. Warriors the most highly anticipated conference semifinal matchup ever? Ate these legacy games for LeBron James and Steph Curry or are fans and the media being prisoners of the moment?<\/p>\n
The ITP crew breaks it all down in this action-packed episode, so make sure to tune in to Episode 160 from start to finish!<\/p>\n
