Toronto Tempo, NBA Cup, RJ Home Cooking & more
•
This week Cathryn Naiker is joined by the NBA Bit Host Mike Zakarian. They discuss the Toronto Tempo name and logo being leaked this week! Thoughts on the name, style, and colorway. Then they discuss the NBA Cup quarter-finals, who are they surprised by, who's going to win & more. They look at the playoff picture, the leagues need to abolish the conferences, the mess that is the Lakers, and expectations on LeBron at almost 40! Then in the Raptors' homer moment, we talk about R.J. Barret being better at home, is it permanent or is he still a streaky player? Then in the Hottie Highlight of the week, it is between Jimmy Butler visiting Kyle Lowry Rd, Jared McCain's tik toks, or the biggest surprise of all, Andrea Bargnani revisiting his Primo pasta commercial.
