Welcome to an action packed episode of The Old Man and The Three with special guests, Kevin Huerter of The Sacramento Kings and Alex Caruso of The Chicago Bulls. There’s so much to get to in the so let’s get to it. Topics include: JJ and Tommy preview Game 2 of The Western Conference Finals between LeBron James, Anthony Davis and The Los Angeles Lakers vs. Nikola Jokic and The Denver Nuggets series and the adjustments that will need to be made from each team. Then Kevin Huerter joins us to talk about his big season with The Sacramento Kings, digging into the JJ Redick / Kings animosity, Kevin on whether THE BEAM is something that Sacramento should continue to do given the expectations, what it’s like playing for Mike Brown, his two-man game with Domantas Sabonis, the extremely clutch play of De’Aaron Fox and Stephen Curry’s ICONIC Game 7 performance this year. Then Alex Caruso joins us to talk about how these playoffs sort of prove the Bubble Championship was almost an “anti-fluke”, what is different about this Lakers vs. Nuggets match-up from this year to his championship year, how Anthony Davis is the most important player in the series, the disappointing season for The Chicago Bulls, seeing Jimmy Butler and The Miami Heat literally turn on a switch against them in the play-in game, how he would cover Jayson Tatum in these playoffs, talking about being named First Team All Defense and why Devin Booker and Donovan Mitchell are the toughest players to guard in the NBA.

Caruso is very cerebral.
I would have named it the cocaine episode 😂
The opening 😂😂😂
Alex get off the golf course and work on your 3 plz!!! – bulls fan
Why is Tommy so against clearing his throat?
The Mets “Big Apple” after every home run is still running strong.
Great podcast. JJ, please god change your camera angle. Your hands in Tommy's camera is doing something to my lil autism brain
JJ speaking facts about that Orlando shot. I was there live. You could just see the swagger change.
White boy summer
Can we get some bonus coverage that would include some tech talk? Much like the PMS does with "In the trenches".
I really agree with his point. The jags are all Jax has and we went through years of mediocrity before actually getting good
Retiring the beam is silly, lakers drop confetti after every win, teams all do their celebration stuff for victories. We have the beam. Vivek didn’t install that beam on top of the arena just to stop using it lol
Jokic is now playing at Arvydas Sabonis's peak level, the most skilled centre the world has ever seen.
As a laker fan in Sacramento , im all for JJ going heel against the Kangz. Out here tryna retire the beam 😂
you can always rely on the "glue guys" like kevin & alex to provide excellent insight on the nuances of the game.
Unrelated but Hasan Piker praised your take on the Ja Morant situation JJ! FirstTake is relevant again because of you!
As a Boston fan, this is probably my favorite episode of the podcast so far!
Caruso has a future as an analyst, he knows his stuff.
39:38 was so funny he seemed so taken aback that you would even suggest such a thing 😂
