Houston Hasn’t Been a Problem for the Warriors. Plus, Do the Heat Need a Shift in Culture? | Real Ones
About this episode
Logan and Raja open the pod by talking about the Warriors taking a commanding 3-1 lead in their opening-round series against the Rockets on Monday night. Has Draymond Green successfully gotten into the Rockets' heads and muddied up the series (2:40)? The Miami Heat were swept by the Cavaliers in Game 4, losing by 55(!) points to end their season. After the tumultuous year they have had, in which they traded Jimmy Butler, is it time for them to move on from Pat Riley? Has Luka been a liability for the Lakers in their series against the Timberwolves? Plus, has the JJ Redick criticism been fair after he played the same lineup for the entire second half (33:22)? The Pistons were robbed after no call was made when Tim Hardaway Jr. was fouled by Josh Hart in the closing minutes of Game 4. The NBA ruled it a foul after the game, but the outcome doesn’t change. What’s the point of the referee staff report (50:18)?
