With the conference finals taking a break, we decided to take stock of the playoffs as they stand and dive deeply into the Thunder-Warriors and Cavs-Raptors series, among other topics. In this week’s show:
- A detailed Xs and Os look at how the Warriors were able to bounce back in Game 2, plus a look ahead to whether that will carry over in Games 3 and 4. (3:20 mark)
- Why the two keys to a Thunder upset are 1) Russell Westbrook, and 2) playing with more defensive energy than the Warriors’ offense can muster. (21:12)
- Why we should have empathy for Kyle Lowry’s mental frustration rather than just killing him for leaving during the first half of Game 2 to blow off steam. (26:30)
- It’s time to look ahead to the Cavaliers in the Finals. How would they match up with Golden State or Oklahoma City? (35:50)
- Congratulations to Ben for his 76ers winning the lottery! Plus, a rant against spoiled Celtics fans. (48:35)
- We end the podcast with a little soccer talk (our second love) and imagine an NBA world without a draft and with an open free-agent system like European soccer. (52:23)
