Seerat and Michael begin their conversation by previewing the Lakers-Nuggets Western Conference finals playoff series and focus on how Los Angeles will be able to handle Nikola Jokic’s elite skill sets. They then take a look at LeBron James’s new role on his team and speculate on the ability of the Lakers’ bench to properly compliment it (11:48). Next, they shift to the Eastern Conference finals and point to Jimmy Butler as the key to how everything will go down in the Heat's matchup with the Celtics (30:07). Finally, they share their thoughts on Doc Rivers’s firing and what this could mean for the 76ers going forward (51:23).
