3 in the Key Ep 3 - IST Quarterfinals, NBA's Officiating Issues, and Josh Giddey

3 in the Key

The 3 in the Key crew is back!
In the first half, we discuss the NBA’s polarizing officiating this season. Another chapter in the CP3-Scott Foster beef was written in the past week and the crew discusses. The NBA world groaned as the Lakers advanced to the semifinals of the NBA In-Season Tournament after being granted a questionable timeout in the final minutes. Lastly, stars (and coaches) seem to be getting thrown out at an alarming rate this year - is this a fixable issue? Or are the players bringing it upon themselves?
At halftime, we dive into Josh Giddey and his alleged improper relationship with a minor. He is currently under investigation by the Newport Beach Police Department and the NBA. The crew does the best they can to get to the bottom of the situation with the facts available. They discuss locker room dynamics, on-court track talk, and the potential consequences if the allegations are confirmed by authorities.
In the 2nd half, we analyze the NBA’s In-Season Tournament (IST) so far this year. There are four teams remaining. Who will come out on top? The crew attempts to answer their question without letting fanhood cloud their judgment. Tyrese Halliburton has seemed to take the leap to superstar and LeBron James seems more motivated than he has in years. Giannis and the Bucks are finding their groove after a slow start and the Pelicans have their top 3 players healthy for the first time in what feels like forever. All four remaining teams have a shot, and win or go home basketball is a treat for the fans.
We love ya'll! And remember - everything is hoops.
