The Dallas Mavericks landed the no. 1 pick in the draft, which means that they’ll likely take the consensus no. 1 prospect, Cooper Flagg, after they traded Luka Doncic to the Lakers midway through the 2024-25 season. Logan, Howard, and Raja discuss how the lottery miraculously ended up going in Dallas's favor and what Flagg can be at the next level. Should this year’s lottery be a warning to teams who are obviously tanking? Jayson Tatum left Game 4 of the Celtics vs. Knicks Eastern Conference semifinals game with an apparent leg injury that could sideline him for a long time.

The Nuggets took Game 1 in Oklahoma City thanks to a late-game 3 from Aaron Gordon, but the big topic of discussion was whether the Thunder should have fouled when they were up three late in the game and Jokic was off the floor. Logan, Raja, and Howard Beck discuss that and whether they saw who the real MVP is during the game. The Knicks defeated the Celtics on the road thanks to 45 (!) missed 3s from Boston and some late-game heroics provided by the NBA Clutch Player of the Year, Jalen Brunson.

Blood and Thunder

Blood and Thunder

2025-04-1656:042

The Oklahoma City Thunder dominated the regular season and now enter the playoffs as one of the favorites to win the West thanks to MVP candidate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. For nearly two decades, the Thunder have been one of the unlikeliest success stories in NBA history. In the win-now-at-all-costs superteam era, the Thunder have prioritized building for the future. In the era of superstars dictating their own moves to major media markets, the Thunder have thrived in one of the smallest markets in pro sports.  In Blood and Thunder, a special feature from the Ringer Podcast Network, Brian Phillips is joined by his fellow Oklahoma native Tyler Parker to talk about where the Thunder have been and where they’re going, why this year’s team is so fun to watch, and what the franchise means to Oklahoma. We’re also joined by Jordan Ritter Conn, the host of the podcast Sonic Boom: How Seattle Lost Its Team, to talk about the legacy of the team’s move from Seattle and whether a new Sonics franchise could help put the ghosts of the past to rest.

The Grizzlies and the Warriors will face off in Tuesday’s play-in game to determine who’ll play the Rockets in the first round (41:16). Just how important is this year's playoff for the current construction of the Warriors’ roster? The Ringer is committed to responsible gaming.
