In this episode, Houston and E.J. finish off the NBA season.  Houston demands E.J. apologize to Dirk Nowitzki for calling him soft.  E.J. laments that the first and only time he's rooted for Lebron, he let him down.  Both show fear of what the upcoming NBA lockout can do after what they believe was the best NBA season, start to finish, in memory.  How can the Bulls improve?  Is the window of opportunity for the Heat 5+ years or less?  Is Wade getting a free ride while Lebron gets most of the blame?

What a difference a week makes...Houston is down in the dumps after having his head in the clouds a week ago, while E.J. does the whole "I told you so" routine.  They also try to figure out how the referees deserve any blame for the Bulls losing 2 games straight. They also talk about Kareem, is he right to complain? Arrogant? Both?  And somehow Houston uses the Lakers situation to attack Reinsdorf haters.  The duo also tackle the Hopson/McNabb controversy and finally they talk about Macho Man Randy Savage after his passing.  The intro and outro both are dedicated to the Macho Man, Macho Man interview is at the beginning with Hogan speaking about him at the end.  R.I.P.

With Rex Ryan's new book out, his fetishes are revisited...did he handle that situation right?
