Summary

Today’s word of the day is ‘insurmountable’ as in the Miami Heat took a 3-0 lead over the Boston Celtics last night as in the Denver Nuggets took a 3-0 lead over the Los Angeles Lakers. How strange it is? Two teams nobody trusted for different reasons are 1 game away from the NBA Finals. Jimmy Butler and the undrafteds. Nikola Jokic and the non-superstars. How? (11:25) What’s the best Finals matchup? Heat vs Nuggets? Don’t think so! Let’s talk about what Adam Silver is feeling right now. (19:00) Are the Rays and Athletics issues ever going to be solved? Are the Rays for sale? Are the Athletics moving? (27:50) Review: Anna Nicole Smith - You Don’t Know Me. (33:45) The Padres are bad. They can still get better. But how do they do that? Spending hasn’t worked. (43:00) NPPOD - Yankees DFA Aaron Hicks. Happy Monday! Get excited! Drink that coffee! Eat that bagel! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
