(50:30-1:21:01) – Howard Beck of GQ Sports and the LockedOnNetwork joins the Fan Midday Show with James Boyd and Jimmy Cook to discuss the win last night for the Denver Nuggets over the Miami Heat, why he doesn’t see a play-in team making it into the late stages of the NBA Playoffs regularly like the Heat have, whether he can see the Indiana Pacers making the playoffs next season, and examines what some of the moves he anticipates this off-season from the top teams in both conferences.

(1:21:01-1:34:50) – Earlier today it was reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter that the Minnesota Vikings will be releasing Dalvin Cook if they cannot find a trade partner.
