Podcast: First Round Update, Sixers Stir Up Trouble, Second Round Preview (04-23-19)

Chris and Dave are back with the First Round update on this week's "NBA Report" podcast.  After some madness in the opening weekend, nearly every series in the NBA has settled down with a staggering 7 of 8 series on the verge of ending in 5 games or less.  We'll cover the skirmishes from the Nets/Sixers series, the close but no cigar performance of the Clippers in Game 4 against the Warriors, the utter domination of the Bucks over the Pistons, and the back and forth between the Spurs and the Nuggets.

Later, Dave proposes some adjustments to the first round of the playoffs, and ponders the process of re-seeding after each round, similar to other sports.  Also, a look ahead to some dynamite second round matchups: The officially matched Celtics/Bucks semifinal series, plus potential series between the Warriors and Rockets, and Sixers and Raptors.  We also predict who wins the ongoing Spurs/Nuggets first round matchup plus other thoughts on the playoffs so far.
