Before the playoffs began, most people probably would have picked the Raptors to defeat a Warriors team missing Kevin Durant. What changed?
A rollicking new episode of Fastbreak Breakfast asks this question and hopefully gets you completely prepared for the NBA Finals. So pour an extra cup of coffee and take it easy on the donuts because we don’t want any sugar crashes before the 9pm local time tip.
In addition to trying to decide if Toronto has more talent than a Durant-less Golden State, numerous jokes are cracked and the following topics are addressed:
- What did Kawhi Leonard do to celebrate beating the Bucks?
- Has recency bias made us overrate Leonard’s current postseason run? Was it better than LeBron James from last season?
- How are Dwane Casey and DeMar DeRozan feeling about the Raptors breakthrough to the Finals? Is there anyway for them to be happy for their former teammates?
- Who will be the best player on the court in the Finals?
- Is there a word for the current streak of incorrect prognostications from Paul Pierce?
- What will Milwaukee’s priorities be for which incumbent players they attempt to retain?
- In what ways did the latest ESPN hit piece affect our opinions of the Lakers?
Plus, we offer some tips for watching the NBA Finals with your significant other in case they aren’t as interested as you might be.
