Woodward is historic. It's one of the first paved road. It's the first paved road in America. And if you know anything about Detroit, you know a lot of that had to do with the automobile industry in the pioneering of that."

Will that include Jokic? I'm not exactly sure. They may get off of them a little earlier. I'm not saying this summer, but they may move off of Jokic within the next two years or so to get some pieces."

I think he'll pull those big south of Oklahoma City. He'll bring them out to the perimeter, he'll drain threes, he'll get them off the dribble. So they'll have some success there. Ant man will be Ant man will be Ant Man. But I just think that this Thunder team is too deep and they're too efficient."

I do not see Cleveland or Indiana having enough to beat them in a seven game series. If they beat Boston, they will be the best team left in the Eastern Conference in my opinion. Brunson is clutch. The numbers say so. I think he won the Mr. Clutch award this year. This team plays solid, sound defense and they knock down shots and they execute the offense very well."

He has graduated to a level of getting that ball out to the open man and not forcing shots. And it really showed in game one against the Lakers where they end up having 21 made three pointers. And it was because that defense was focused on Anthony Edwards and he made the right play every single time."

The Rick Porchia Podcast@Block24Media | #NFL | Lions and Commanders! My TakeClick here to reply to @Block24Media "So, um, I've heard a lot about the Redskins, watched them a lot, and we predicted that we would play each other probably in the NFC Championship game. So been looking forward to this one for a long time. I think it's our toughest matchup, as I said, multiple times already. But I do think we win by maybe a 10 point margin to a two touchdown margin when it's all said and done. But it'd be a much closer game than that throughout."

But I think this is the victory where he says, I am now the quarterback in his rival."

But I think Josh Allen is the MVPā¦ hereās why!Click here to reply to @Block24Media "I think Lamar Jackson is the most incredible quarterback in the NFL. I think he's must watch tv. His numbers are better this year than they were his MVP season prior. But I think that's because Henry is in the backfield. So his numbers are a lot better because of that. So does that mean he's the MVP because his numbers are better? I wouldn't be mad if he won the mvp. I'm a huge Lamar Jackson fan."
