The 2024 NBA Playoffs are well underway at this point, and some teams are starting to pull away in their respective series, like the OKC Thunder taking a 2-0 series lead against the New Orleans Pelicans, the Denver Nuggets taking 3-0 series lead against the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Minnesota Timberwolves taking a 3-0 series lead on the Phoenix Suns.
But some of the other series are starting to get a bit more contentious, with the Milwaukee Bucks fighting tooth and nail to stay afloat with Giannis Antetokounmpo out with injury against the Indiana Pacers, and the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Clippers are looking like they're heading for a long series.

The non-shooting wing/forward is one of the most difficult player archetypes to make work in the modern NBA. But with players like Aaron Gordon thriving for the Denver Nuggets, the blueprint is there assuming you have the talent around to make them work.But with players like Jarred Vanderbilt, what do they need to do in order to be successful?

In this episode, we tackled one of the debate of who's better between Donovan Mitchell and Devin Booker. These are two high caliber scoring guards that have been frequently compared to one another throughout their careers, and that play relatively similar roles. The Cleveland Cavaliers and Phoenix Suns are both heavy hitting teams this year, so we get to the bottom of what we like and don't like about both Devin Booker and Donovan Mitchell.Follow us on Twitter!Alex: https://twitter.com/homeMat: https://twitter.com/matissa15The Media Pass is a podcast hosted by AlexHoops and Mat Issa providing in-depth coverage of the NBA from the perspective of two established analysts currently working in the industry.

Our picks for the most underrated players in the NBA this season! Mat Issa and Alex Hoops sit down to go over guys that may not put up the biggest statlines or even play more than 15 minutes a night, but have no shortage of impact on helping their team win games.We went over how Donte DiVincenzo has been helping the New York Knicks string together wins despite the absence of Julius Randle for an extended stretch this season, as well as how Kentavious Caldwell-Pope continues to be an integral part of the Denver Nuggets trying to go back-to-back for another championship.With how good the Los Angeles Clippers have been, it's hard to ignore how Ivica Zubac contributes on a nightly basis alongside James Harden in their pick-and-roll heavy offense.The OKC Thunder wouldn't be where they are currently if it wasn't for the help of Aaron Wiggins, and he's only been playing 15 minutes per game and occasionally won't even play! The Cleveland Cavaliers are surging as well, and you can see how Max Strus helps elevate them to new heights despite questionable three point numbers. And lastly, the Boston Celtics have been pound for pound the best team in the NBA, yet somehow, Kristaps Porzingis wasn't an All-Star despite having All-Star caliber numbers and All-Star caliber impact.Follow us on Twitter!Alex: https://twitter.com/homeMat: https://twitter.com/matissa15The Media Pass is a podcast hosted by AlexHoops and Mat Issa providing in-depth coverage of the NBA from the perspective of two established analysts currently working in the industry.
