Miami steals homecourt, are they in control of the series as it shifts to South Florida? Is what the Heat are doing unsustainable or just another sign of how Heat Culture makes things happen? Denver faces its first real test of adversity. Can they respond or are the cracks already starting to show in their juggernaut facade? Plus, a cooky rumor comes up about Kyrie Irving wanting to bring LeBron James to Dallas. We talk about why it won't happen, but more importantly, what the rumor itself means for this summer's free agency and trade adventures. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
