Verno and KOC discuss Tyrese Haliburton's amazing performance as the Pacers defeat the Celtics to advance to the semifinals of the In-Season Tournament (01:31). KOC also explains why Kristaps Porzingis is an X-factor for any Celtics' title hopes. The guys discuss Ime Udoka’s ejection over the weekend against the Lakers, and Sam Amick’s interview with James Harden (24:40). After the Kings got outmatched by the Pelicans, the guys debate the Kings' need for size to truly compete for a title, and why Verno believes the Pels can cause trouble for either the Lakers or Suns in the next round (36:44).
