Howard Beck on the Miami Heat Stealing Game 2, Defending Nikola Jokic, and Kyrie Irving Wanting LeBron James in Dallas | Real Ones
Logan and Raja are joined by longtime NBA sportswriter Howard Beck to discuss the Miami Heat stealing Game 2 of the NBA Finals from the Denver Nuggets and why road wins are essential for an underdog team (2:00). Along the way, they talk about the Heat’s defensive strategy on Nikola Jokic and the discourse surrounding it before making predictions about Game 3. Next, the guys unpack the report that Kyrie Irving reached out to LeBron James to ask him to join him in Dallas next year and why it’s an impossible outcome (36:00). Later, they briefly go back and forth on how long they think Ja Morant’s upcoming suspension will last (53:00).
