The Baseline: NBA Finals Preview with Porscha Coleman

The Baseline NBA podcast back again and it is time to get ready for the nitty gritty of the NBA season. On this week’s show:

The Breakdown

• NBA Finals preview with Porscha Coleman. The Warriors and Cavs will meet again but the narrative isn’t the same. This time LeBron James will have backup with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love. But will the big 3 be enough to overtake Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and the rest of the Golden State crew?

The Drop

• The Views from the Six have the Toronto Raptors out of the playoffs. Will DeMar DeRozan be back? Where does this team need the most help to take the next step?
• Grand opening sad closing as the Oklahoma City Thunder were unable to defeat the Warriors. Kevin Durant‘s free agency is the biggest topic of conversation this summer. Will KD come back to give it one more chance with Russell Westbrook and Serge Ibaka?

Coast to Coast

• Grizzlies hire David Fizdale
• Rockets hire Mike D’Antoni
• All NBA and  All Defensive teams announced
• Philly exploring trades of Nerlens Noel and Jahlil Okafor
• Bradley Beal seeking max deal and Wizards seem inclined to oblige
• Bryce Dejean-Jones shot and killed
