Jordan Parker and Brandon Bailey

On this episode of Take Your Shot, State Hornet editor in chief Jordan Parker and sports co-editor Brandon Bailey break down the latest in each NBA playoff series (spoiler: Jordan is extremely happy with how it is going!) including which team they think will be able to advance to the second round without their star.

Stick around for their discussion about the lowest attendance at the Oakland Coliseum (2,703) since 1980 following the A’s firesale of star players after the lockout ended in March.  

Lastly, the two talk about the developing Deebo Samuel trade drama that sent shockwaves through NFL circles and where they see him ending up if he’s traded.
