On this episode Mike and Jason look back at Heat-Celtics and Mavs-Warriors. They discuss the late Miami run in Game 7 that almost cost Boston a Finals appearance. Should Jimmy Butler have gone to the basket or pulled up for the three like he did? Plus, the outsize impact role players and their three point shooting have had in these playoffs continues to be a trend worth watching. Finally, they look ahead to Warriors-Celtics and hit on some key match-ups and things to watch for before discussing how a winning Finals MVP performance could affect Steph Curry's Legacy.
