Bruce Bowen on Rockets Quitting vs. Lakers, Victor Wembanyama’s concussion, Portland's Cheap Owner | 04.22

Description:

Bomani Jones is joined by Bruce Bowen to talk NBA playoffs, from the Spurs' chances at a title run after Victor Wembanyama’s concussion to whether the Houston Rockets just embarrassed themselves against LeBron and the Lakers. They also hit Anthony Edwards’ rise as a leader, Rudy Gobert’s redemption, and why CJ McCollum is suddenly playing Madison Square Garden villain against Jalen Brunson.
Bomani and Bruce get into:

  • How Wemby has already changed what’s possible on defense, why the paint disappears when he’s on the floor, and how that compares to Tim Duncan never winning DPOY.
  • The Spurs–Blazers series, Wembanyama’s concussion, and what young teams actually learn in playoff collapses.
  • The cheap new vibes in Portland under owner Tom Dundon — from coaching salaries to cutting back on arena T‑shirts.
  • Why the Rockets’ Game 2 performance vs. the Lakers was so disappointing, what accountability really looks like, and how LeBron is still manipulating games at his age.
  • Anthony Edwards’ force-of-personality leadership, how he lifts guys like Rudy Gobert, and what it means for Denver’s title defense.
  • CJ McCollum hunting Jalen Brunson, embracing being “that guy” in the Garden, and what separates elite playoff scorers from everyone else.
