Summary

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers continue to look dominant in the bubble as they take game 1 of the NBA Finals over the Miami Heat. The guys discuss LeBron's greatness and how Anthony Davis is the perfect pairing. With mounting injuries and no answers seemingly for the Lakers size, are we looking at a Finals sweep? The MLB playoffs are off to a fast and fun start. Everything from a 1-0 extra innings game to an all-night slugfest! Could we get use to this new format? Which of the top seeds will fall and who will overachieve? The guys discuss. Plus, the NFL gets a stinging reminder that we are still in the middle of a global pandemic. Titans v Steelers is postponed and will not be played in Week 4 due to a Covid-19 outbreak within the Titans organization. Could this be a sign of things to come?
