Denver Nuggets on the brink, Miami Heat getting cold... 2023 NBA Finals FINALE?!!

Sun, 11 Jun 2023 16:15:17 GMT

In this penultimate episode of the 2023 NBA season, we celebrate Miami's inspiring Game 2 win on the road in Denver, but worry that may have been their last hurrah after two dominating performances by the Nuggets in the Heat's building. Spency G congratulates the Nuggets' terrifying twosome, Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, as the only teammates in NBA history to record 30+ point triple doubles in the same game-- and in Game 3 of the NBA Finals no less! Marc E Mann thinks the Nuggets might be the only team in the NBA with the potential to be a new dynasty (except for maaayyyybeee the Boston Celtics, but don't hold your breath). Also... a new coach for the Raptors, and a trick question in this edition of time travel trivia!

Celtics on the brink of making history? Who should the Nuggets fear more? Celtics or Heat?

Sun, 28 May 2023 17:02:32 GMT

In this episode, Marc E Mann and Spency G marvel at Celtics guard Derrick White's incredible Game 6 buzzer-beating put back offensive rebound to overcome another fourth quarter clutch performance by the Heat's Jimmy Butler. Amazingly the Celtics are only the 4th team in NBA history to force a 7th game after being down 0-3. Last episode, we gave the Celtics basically zero chance to come back after a terrible Game 3 performance... but have the boys changed their tune? Brooks wanted to know what's next for the Lakers after getting bounced in four games by the mighty Nuggets. Spency G and Marc E Mann agree that LeBron will come back, but disagree on what the Lakers need to push them into title contention.

Jimmy, Bam, and a host of undrafted players are serving up a Boston beatdown, and the Joker-Jamal combo proves too much for LA. Spency G thinks the Celtics are Lakers have at least showed up against the Nuggets, but is LeBron now a liability, or is D-Lo to blame? Brooks wants to know... what's wrong with Boston? Is it the coach or the players?
