Could The 76ers Actually Make The Finals? FiveThirtyEight’s NBA podcast talks about Houston’s dominance, the Cavs’ lingering question marks, and other themes from the conference semifinals.

Welcome to The Lab, FiveThirtyEight’s basketball podcast. On Monday’s show (April 30, 2018), Neil and Kyle preview the conference semifinals. They’re skeptical of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ chances against the Toronto Raptors, they’re in awe of the Houston Rockets’ offense, and they wonder whether the Sixers are the favorite in the Eastern Conference.

The Lab will be back with another episode later this week. In the meantime, keep an eye on FiveThirtyEight’s NBA predictions, which are updated after every game.
