Count It Pod are back for Episode 51, and this one is heavy on NBA playoff energy. The episode opens with a quick apology for last week’s intense intro before the conversation moves straight into Shai Gilgeous-Alexander winning MVP, whether the award was deserved, and why his game continues to divide fans. The hosts then break down the OKC vs San Antonio series, including Game 1’s double-overtime chaos, Victor Wembanyama’s impact, OKC’s defensive adjustments, and how the series could swing heading back to San Antonio. They also discuss the Knicks and Cavs, the Eastern Conference picture, playoff coaching, fan pressure, and why the Knicks reaching the Finals would be one of the wildest stories in basketball.
