NBA playoff round one reactions + WNBA preseason preview

We have a jam-packed episode of The Dunker Spot coming your way!

First, Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones continue dissecting first-round playoff action! They share their biggest takeaways from the Game 2s & 3s we’ve gotten, then go back to the Panic Meter for the teams that suffered tough (injury) losses.

From there, the guys shift to the WNBA to talk through the upcoming slate of preseason action.

We’ll get fresh looks at 10 of the W’s 15 teams this weekend — Fever, Liberty, Sparks, Sky, Mercury, Lynx, Mystics, Storm, Valkyries, and the Aces. Nekias and Steve share what they’re excited about — and what they’ll be monitoring — concerning each of those teams.
