Episode Synopsis

Goeiedag, enchantée and welcome to this week's episode of Eight 2 Four presents: All-NBA Team of the Week. We’re about halfway through Round 1 and the biggest storyline so far are the many injuries to star players: Ja Morant, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Joel Embiid, Kawhi Leonard. After a season of load management, these 4 players have already missed 6 Playoff games between them. Of course, what happened to Giannis and Ja were freak incidents and unfortunate to happen on the same day, but still. Anyway, here’s a quick update on the current series: the 76ers have sent the Nets home, the Bucks are struggling against Miami, Boston is taking its time with Atlanta and the Knicks are on course against Cleveland to achieve something they haven’t done in 10 years. In the West, the Lakers look in control of the series against the Grizzlies but all is still to play for. The Nuggets are pretty much done with the Timberwolves, much like the Suns are done with the Clippers. Luckily, there is 1 series that might go to 7, and that’s the Kings and the Warriors. This week, we go over 5 of the most impactful players of Round 1 so far. I’m Peter Peake and this is your All-NBA Team of the Week!
