Ross asks what the biggest difference is when LeBron is on the floor vs. when he is not. Ryan has a great analytical point about how the spacing is affected when LeBron is on the floor. 8:10 ... Ross points out that when Luka Doncic is running the offense, there is better motion in LA's offense and Ryan points out how LeBron causes the motion to stop when he has the ball at the top of the key. 9:50 ... Bruce asks Ryan whether LA has what it takes to win key games down the stretch and secure the #2 seeding in the west. Ryan feels they do not. He is concerned that the Lakers could fold quickly in the playoffs. 11:53 ... LA has really struggled on the road this season and Ryan points out that the Lakers had three straight "back to back" road games and sometimes they were guilty of playing down to the level of their opponents. 13:55 ... Bruce points out that Austin Reaves has been an outstanding "third wheel" with LeBron and Luka and Ryan explains how he continues to amaze and will be relied upon heavily in the playoffs.

Rookie Dalton Knecht has been impressive after returning to the Lakers after having his trade to Charlotte rescinded. Ryan doesn't really understand how coach JJ Redick is using him and thinks they may trade him again if they can get a quality big man in return. 19:39 ...

Ross and Ryan discuss Redick's readiness to coach well in the playoffs. 22:52 ... LeBron James has been acting out lately with battles against ESPN's Stephen A. Smith and Brian Windhorst ... Ryan feels there is a "Wrestlemania" element to the whole thing. Especially when LeBron did it on the Pat McAfee's show. 25:37 ... Bruce feels LeBron acted like a bully in his comments about Windhorst and Ryan feels like Stephen A. came out on top in this situation. Ryan loves how Mike Wilbon also checked in with his thoughts on the whole thing. 28:11 ... Ross has two quick hitters about LeBron's positive comments on Giannis Antetokounmpo and also asked Ryan if he and LeBron ever locked horns over something Ryan wrote or said. 30:20 ...

Show reset and discussion of the Boston Celtics, who won their 9th straight game on Monday night. They appear to be peaking at the right time and are ready to flip the switch. Bruce credits head coach Joe Mazzulla with guiding the team through a long season and giving his reserves lots of minutes so they can contribute in the postseason. World B cautions that the Celtics starting lineup has not been as dominant as we expected. 38:08 ...

World B feels like the Grizzlies team has tailed off badly in the second half of the season. 41:37 ... Ross wants Suns owner Mat Ishbia to hire Jenkins as the lead assistant for Mike Budenholzer and run the offense in Phoenix. 42:43 ... The Milwaukee Bucks are a hot mess with Damian Lillard out indefinitely ... Bruce thinks former head coach Adrian Griffin might be laughing at the situation he left behind since he was fired with a 30-13 record last season and the Bucks have been pretty "meh" since then, winning just 59 of 113 games. None of the guys feel the Bucks are capable of winning a playoff series at this point. 46:16 ... Breaking news! PJ Tucker is signing a 2 year deal with the Knicks and will be a steady veteran presence. Ross has high praise for PJ whom he ...

  • 48 Minutes with ESPN Radio's Kevin Winter
    2025/03/18

    0:00 ... Ross hello and welcome ... introduces tonight's panelists

    0:44... Episode #148 dedicated to the Houston Rockets, who average 48 rebounds a game

    0:56 ... Bet OnLine Live commercial read

    1:31 .. Bruce introduces special guest Kevin Winter, the veteran ESPN Radio personality

    2:35 ... We start out with a robust discussion of the Cleveland Cavaliers and whether they've "Got It." Kevin sees the Cavs as a team that has excelled because of the emergence of Evan Mobley. But Kevin sees the eastern conference as a "two horse" race with the Cavs and Celtics.

    5:17 ... World B makes an excellent point about the lack of efficiency by the Celtics' starting lineup. Kevin feels like the C's learned how to win last year, and may have handled the target on their backs well enough to flip the switch in the postseason.

    7:49 ... What about the OKC Thunder ... do they look like a championship team? Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SGA) has become someone almost impossible to stop.

    9:50 ... Bruce felt OKC's lack of rebounding heading into the season was a problem they have fixed. Kevin feels like the Thunder's defense swarms opponents extremely effectively and they have learned from last year's premature playoff exit.

    12:46 ... World B tees up a discussion on whether SGA is a "foul baiter" and Kevin says he is not. Everyone agreed that SGA is crafty not phony.

    16:39 ... The NBA is investigating the Thunder for resting their starters in a home game against Portland, but does OKC deserve any punishment?

    19:32 ... The top three teams: OKC, Boston, and Cleveland appear to be the class of the NBA. But what are the concerns for each team moving forward? Health is an issue for all three teams but OKC's youth is also an issue. Boston has no clue how to stop Donovan Mitchell.

    26:43 ... The crew discusses which team was the biggest disappointment this season. Philly tops the list. Bruce has a fun fact about how much Paul George made "per game" during his injury plagued season.

    29:26 ... Luke Doncic and LeBron James have done a great job developing chemistry, but can the Lakers actually compete for the western conference championship if and when LeBron returns to good health?

    34:54 ... JJ Redick has done a great job coaching the Lakers and has made some great strategic moves this season.

    35:58 ... Has Jimmy Butler made the Warriors a team that could make the conference finals or even win the west? Butler is hungry and would love to have a crack at guarding some of the OKC wings.

    39:43 ... Ross likes the Memphis Grizzlies and feels that they have successfully overcome a lot of injuries and are a complete team. Kevin feels that the Grizz could make a run in the west.

    42:18 ... Bruce worries that Dallas is rushing Anthony Davis back too soon and are trying to save a season that is already lost. He's going to the G-League to continue his rehab but shutting him down seems like a much smarter idea.

    45:23 ... Who does Kevin feel will meet in the NBA Finals?

    47:10 ... Cooper Flagg is the projected overall #1 pick, so which of the struggling teams would be the best fit for him.

    50:27 ... We can't do a show after Selection Sunday without briefly discussing March Madness. Since Kevin, Bruce, and World B don't have teams in the NCAA Tournament, we all discuss which team we'd root for since our favorite college teams aren't involved (except for Ross's Marquette squad).

    54:29 ... Ross wraps it up, thanks Kevin and says goodbye until next time.
