With Game 1 of the 2018 NBA Finals less than 24 hours away, I give you the only preview you need before Cavs/Warriors IV ✌️
The Celtics and Rockets, despite both being up 3-2 in their respective series, decided to run the "never hit any shots no matter what not even if there's a fire" offenses in Game 7s where they held double digit leads only to get shuttlecocked out of the playoffs. So it's Cavs-Warriors IV as everyone on the planet who has ever even seen a basketball expected. After we pay our respects to the fallen, we review the All NBA teams and create this year's 4th Team All NBA. Finally, Tyler was rather perturbed at the lack of respect Carmelo Anthony was receiving online, so we announce the Mickstape 50: coming to a podcast streaming service near you soon.
On today's show Andrew Sharp and Ben Golliver begin by discussing the dominant response from LeBron James and the Cavs through Games 3 and 4 in Cleveland (2:00). Topics include: LeBron's strategy for the rest of the series, the Cavs supporting cast stepping up, proper levels of panic in Boston, how the series might look with Kyrie Irving, and whether anyone needs Cavs-Warriors IV.

Topics include: home court advantage, a dream for the NBA Finals in the next decade, the impact of Steph Curry, and the challenge for James Harden through the rest of this series. At the end (60:00): checking in with the Wolves after a week of KAT rumors, continued Thibs angst, and a summer of chaos around the corner. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jesse and Stefan meet at an undisclosed NYC location to have a much-needed playoffs catchup. We're talking about: LeBron's scary new level; the dismissal of Coach of the Year Dwane Casey; the Rockets' chances against the Olympic team—er, the Warriors; the seeming inevitability of Cavs-Warriors IV; and Becky Hammon, and the path to the NBA's first female head coach.
