On today's episode, Jason and Producer Rob G bring you wall-to-wall reaction to the Golden State Warriors' Game 5 victory over the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals. Steph Curry was uncharacteristically bad, but thanks to Andrew Wiggins, the Dubs are now up 3-2 and on the cusp of another championship. Wiggins was miscast as a leading man in Minnesota for years, and now that he has the freedom of a third or fourth option in Golden State, we're seeing him realize his potential right before our eyes; just please don't get crazy and start calling him the Finals MVP. Speaking of Wiggins, he never would've ended up with the Warriors were it not for Kevin Durant's decision to agree to a sign-and-trade for D'Angelo Russell (who the Dubs then flipped for Wiggins). Can you imagine what's going through KD's mind right now as the Warriors sit on the precipice of another championship? Let's just say it's going to be a very unpleasant week in the Durant household. Finally, the guys close the show by discussing what's gone wrong for the Celtics in the two games. Five quarters ago, Boston seemed poised to take a commanding 3-1 series lead; instead, they're staring down the barrel of elimination. There's a lot of blame to go around but the biggest issue seems to be that both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown can't stop turning the ball over. If Boston has any hope of extending the series to Game 7, they need to protect the basketball.
