Description

On today's episode, Jason and Producer Rob G bring you wall-to-wall analysis of the Golden State Warriors' Game 6 victory to earn the 2022 NBA championship. First, for the Boston Celtics, it's clear that this team needs a real point guard if they want to get over the hump. Superstar-to-be Jayson Tatum had a bad series and reigning Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart got exposed a little, but a lot of their issues would be solved if they had someone who could settle the squad in tense situations and avoid turning the ball over. If Boston can find a lead ball handler in the offseason they could be right back in the NBA Finals in 2023. But enough about the Celtics; today is all about the Warriors and Steph Curry. Golden State cemented their status as one of the greatest dynasties in sports history, and Steph now has as many rings - 4 - as The King, LeBron James. Does it mean Curry should be considered as good all-time as LeBron? Of course not. Does it mean that Steph has clinched a spot in the all-time top-10? That's certainly debatable. And, with the way Curry takes care of his body, coupled with the Warriors' roster construction and style of play, don't be surprised to see him make a strong run at ring number five. Finally, the guys close the show by discussing what this Warriors championship means for Kevin Durant heading into the 2022-23 NBA season. Now that Golden State has won before, with and after KD, the case can be made that there isn't a single player under pressure to win a title entering next season than Durant.
