In this hour-long episode of VSiN's 'Follow the Money,' hosts Mitch Moss and Pauly Howard dive deep into the chaos of the NBA playoffs, highlighting the shocking collapse of the Spurs after Victor Wemby's injury and the ongoing coaching meltdown under Mike D'Antoni. They passionately critique the Houston Rockets' offensive ineptitude, particularly Kevin Durant's struggles under constant double-teaming, and predict Udoka’s firing if the team loses the series. The discussion shifts to the NFL Draft, where uncertainty reigns supreme—especially around the second overall pick—amid conflicting reports about Arvel Reese and David Bailey.
