Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss the Lakers confronting referees after Game 2, how much the officiating may have affected the game, the controversy surrounding the officiating and whether Los Angeles can regroup before falling into a near-impossible 0-3 deficit against the Thunder.

The Los Angeles Lakers are down 0-2 in their Western Conference semifinal series against the Oklahoma City Thunder after a 125-107 loss in Game 2. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren each scored 22 points for Oklahoma City, while the Thunder’s bench played a major role in the win, outscoring the Lakers’ reserves 48-20. Austin Reaves led Los Angeles with 31 points, and LeBron James added 23 in his 300th career playoff game, but the Lakers struggled with turnovers and were overwhelmed by Oklahoma City’s depth and defense. Frustration boiled over after the final buzzer, as several Lakers players surrounded the referees on the court to complain about officiating following a tense game filled with disputed calls. The Thunder remain undefeated in the postseason. The series now shifts to Los Angeles for Game 3, where the Lakers will try to avoid falling into a nearly insurmountable 0-3 deficit. Is the officiating fair?

Reese, Kmac and Alex grade last night's NBA playoff games, preview tonight's games and discuss which NBA players in the playoffs are Hall-of-Famers.

The New York Knicks currently lead the Philadelphia 76ers 2-0 in their Eastern Conference semifinal series after a 108-102 win in Game 2. The Knicks had already dominated Game 1 with a 137-98 victory, and the series now heads to Philadelphia for Game 3. Is this series over? Is a sweep inevitable? Is Karl-Anthony Towns a Hall-of-Famer? How do we decide what a Hall-of-Famer is?

Tonight’s NBA playoff slate features two pivotal Game 2 matchups with both series still early but already carrying major implications. In the Eastern Conference, the Cleveland Cavaliers host the Detroit Pistons at 7:00 PM ET with the Pistons leading the series 1-0 after a strong opening win.
