Impressed By Knicks or Disappointed in Cavs?, Is Analytics Ruining Basketball?

First Take begins with nine straight Knicks playoff wins! Brunson passed with the poise and finesse of CP3, shot with the touch of Curry, and led with the adaptability and strategic vision of LeBron. Are the Knicks on the verge of a sweep? Then, SGA's flailing and flopping playstyle is at the forefront of conversation again! After falling on nearly all of his shot attempts in game 2, is this something the league needs to address? Next, Lebron thinks the Lakers were "out-talented" by OKC. Is this a secret trade request?First Take resumes with Kendrick Perkins talking analytics. Josh Hart understands their importance, but doesn't think they should be solely relied upon for lineup decisions. Perk has some thoughts on these comments and math invading sports in general. Then, Chet has become somewhat of a joke to Wemby. He views him similar to how a senior in high school looks down upon a freshman. Should we be criticizing him for failing to stop the phenomenal Frenchman? Next, did LeBron sneak in a trade request during a recent podcast appearance?
