On today’s podcast, Austin and Dante break down the upcoming NBA Finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors. While much has been previously discussed by the two on each team, they provide a fresh perspective on the various tight regular season matchups.
After considering different defensive schemes for both teams, Austin and Dante speak to the impact interim head coach Mike Brown might have in the absence of Steve Kerr and how he fares against Tyronn Lue. They touch on LeBron James‘ legacy while discussing how the public could view him in comparison to Michael Jordan following a Cavs win or loss in the series. After that, they give each of their keys to part three of the trilogy. How will the benches perform? Can Tristan Thompson do enough damage against the Death Lineup to make Brown adjust? They wrap up the podcast by providing series predictions and their votes for NBA Finals MVP.
