Alexis (@clutchmarp) is joined this week by Sports Communication majors Antoine (@yeehawtwan), Chris (@ChrisStrauss343), and Kyle (@g6_kyle) as they break down the 2018-19 NBA season, discuss their postseason predictions, make some bold statements about who will be MVP and Rookie of the Year. Finally they debate Derrick Rose's ability to win either Most Improved or 6th man--they might have been on to something as this was recorded the day before Rose scored 50 points!
