This week Host Cathryn Naiker is joined by Basketball Feelings star Katie Heindl to discuss their thoughts on the NBA Playoffs. Can Minnesota do the impossible and come back from being down 0-3? Their feelings on what looks like a Boston Dallas finals & more. Then they do some detective work and try to solve the question, why does everyone hate Rudy Gobert? From the media to his peers, he seems to be one of the most unlikable players in the NBA and they dig deep to uncover some possible answers. Then they look at early off-season rumors and pick which one they think is most likely to be true. They share their love for Quinn Snider & Klay Thompson respectfully, and Katie shares a fun story about interviewing Thompson. Then in our Hottle Highlight of the week, Katie has to pick between Scottie in Hong Kong and Pascal reminiscing on his "break up" with the Raptors.
