Summary
On today’s episode, Jason is back from parts unknown to bring us wall-to-wall NBA Finals preview ahead of Game 1 between the Denver Nuggets and Miami Heat. Can Jimmy Butler and the Heat continue their cinderella run to the NBA championship? Do the Nuggets deserve to be the third biggest Finals favorites in the last 30 years? How might the impending return of Tyler Herro help (or hurt) Miami's mojo? Is this Nuggets-Heat matchup a win for the analytics crowd? Will Bam Adebayo be able to slow down Nikola Jokic whatsoever? Do the Heat have anyone to matchup with Jamal Murray? Will Erik Spoelstra be able to simply out-coach Michael Malone the way he did to Joe Mazzulla? J-Mac has the answer to all those questions, and he hits us with his official prediction for the series!
