Knicks Might be Cooked, Jokic Struggles vs. Thunder, Shedeur Sanders' Turnaround | 5.12

On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones reacts to the NBA playoff semifinals and NFL rookie mini-camp beginning. Bo starts off the show by saying why the Cleveland Cavaliers can still win this series vs the Indiana Pacers despite being down 3-1 (3:08) and why there isn't any semifinals series he feels has been decided yet (8:44). Bo also predicts the Boston Celtics will win their series vs the New York Knicks after their Game 3 victory at Madison Square Garden (15:45). Bo rounds out his NBA talk by saying neither Nikola Jokic or Shai-Gilgeous Alexander have been playing like MVP candidates (26:08). Shifting gears to the NFL, Bo says why a different Shedeur Sanders showed up to Browns mini-camp (32:27) and that he will eventually start games for Cleveland this season (43:27). And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving American breakfast potentially changing, what actually goes on at the Met Gala and the jury selection for the Diddy trial (44:10. Then Bomani listens to some voicemails about when a white guy shocked you on the basketball court. (51:58)
